BLURB:
A reverent
touch to a set of suede-covered cuffs, and Jillian Dosh unwittingly takes the
first step into a world that she never knew existed. Busted while she’s making
a stealthy visit to Three Divisions Lifestyle Emporium, Jillian can’t believe
she’s face-to-face with her fantasy lover. Much more potent up front and
personal, Leo Straton’s commanding presence intrigues and scares her at the
same time. Can fantasy become reality?
Recognizing the voluptuous Jillian
as the perfect submissive for him, Leo begins a journey to pull her into his
world of D/s. She’s innocent, imaginative, strong-willed, and dangerous to his
heart. She’s his butterfly—stuck in the chrysalis of the vanilla world and ready
to spread her wings. Overcoming her initial hesitancy, Jillian begins to
blossom under his tutelage. But an innocent deception may bring this new love
to a crashing halt.
Three Divisions, Book 1 ignites the
senses, fires up your libido, and makes you crave to be owned by this Dom.
EXCERPT:
Hurrying
along the walkway, eyes glued to the window, Jillian finally discovered a
ten-inch gap between advertisement posters. Cupping her hands against the
surprisingly clean glass, she peered inside, stood on tiptoe to see past the
shelving, and immediately spotted two men. A quick assessment told her that the
one with the gray hair and wrinkled business suit wasn’t a local. The brown
leather suitcase leaning innocently against his right leg still carried the
airline terminal tag.
Jillian
couldn’t help but snort when she glanced to the other one. He was a little
younger, wore a wedding ring, and still clung to his glory days as life pulled
him kicking and screaming into his forties. The severely faded and tattered USC
College T-shirt had seen better days. She wondered how many times his wife had
thrown it in the garbage, only to find it among the laundry items the very next
day. That could very well explain the small Band-Aid on his left ear. She
darted out of sight when the men’s profiles made an appearance.
Glancing
down the relatively deserted street, Jillian was surprised to find that the
fading sun had finally decided to hide itself, instantly bringing deep shadows
to stretch ominously between each dim streetlight—a clear warning sign for the
smart people to get their butts home. Only a few businesses across the roadway
had yet to turn their exterior lights on, making the surroundings even
spookier. She knew she needed to get this over with before the night dwellers
burst out from wherever they hid during the harshness of the day and began
filling the walkways.
Pushing
quickly inside her targeted establishment, Jillian cringed upon hearing the
tinkling of bells over the doorway. She reached up and silenced them before
they could finish waking up the dead. Crap! Didn’t see that coming.
Dodging
to the side of a tall, metal structure, Jillian chanced a quick peek past the
edge to see if she’d been discovered or if any other bodies were milling about
the interior. Satisfied she only had the two oblivious browsers to contend
with, Jillian slithered around several displays and two more short cabinets
before she was ensconced behind a thick bookshelf with ample space between
shelves to peek out.
Bravado
growing by the second, she moved on silent feet along the narrow aisle, eyes
locked onto the two men continuing to keep a respectable distance from one
another. She quirked a brow. You both might as well have a bulls-eye tattooed
on your backs. Not once had they made eye contact, much less taken the time to
glance over their shoulders to spot her lurking close at their rear.
Jillian
couldn’t help but shake her head as she slid her hand out of her purse, cupped
it with the other, and rested her grip on the smooth wood to steady her arms.
Maneuvering the red laser dot from one skull base to the next, she considered
her targets the proverbial “innocent bystanders” mentioned in every news
article about the increasing murder rate in this crazy town. They were
oblivious to their surroundings, content in the false knowledge that nothing
bad would ever happen to them. Things like that only occurred to other people—a
typical last thought of hapless victims.
Oh,
well. Reality time.
