    They make the rules and negotiate with their masters -- though sometimes they also get off on being pushed just a little too far by men they know they can trust. It's as if the doms who enter their lives see the potential for submission in these women and want to arouse them more than ever before by providing an opportunity for them to let go. The editor of the bestsellers He's on Top and Yes, Sir, Rachel Kramer Bussel has chosen 22 stories that celebrate the thrill of submission by women who know exactly what they want. The characters in Please, Sir may be doing the bidding of their dominants, but the tops are just as much subject to the will of their subs, in their own way, by making them ache, moan, and quiver.

    Overkill is a compilation of Notorious Colorado, Notorious Arizona and Notorious Utah. Colorado’s edition includes three of the country’s most infamous crimes which all occurred in the same area of Colorado: the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, the Columbine school shooting, and the Aurora movie theater massacre. They also report on an Amish serial killer, a fatal attraction that led to a murder, and on a minister’s wife whose illicit passion drove her to murder. In Arizona’s, they update several cases, including: a man suspected of marrying vulnerable women, then killing them; two infamous Arizona killers freed after decades in prison; television’s “it girl” Jodi Arias; a woman who was her mother-in-law’s worst nightmare; and a football mom who got a little too cozy with members of her son’s high school team. And in Utah’s edition, they report on one of the most sensational and heartbreaking crimes they’ve come across—Megan Huntsman, the Utah mother who hid seven dead infants in a garage; a cold case that was finally solved by a child’s Lego; the rogue Fundamentalist Mormon who thought it was his right to marry and rape young girls; the sad case of children dying in hot cars; the husband who ended years of lying with murder; and an update on the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell, the case Olsen and Morris write about in their book If I Can’t Have You.
