How to Train Your Dom in Five Easy Steps
Josephine Myles - 2014
All he wants is a submissive to help him explore the dominant side that his ex-girlfriend couldn’t handle. Problem is, inexperience in both dating and domming has resulted in a string of rejections.What he needs is an experienced sub willing to show him the ins and outs of controlling a scene. Unfortunately, the only one willing to take him on is male, and Jeff is straight. One hundred percent, never-gonna-happen straight.Easygoing painslut Eddie Powell doesn’t care that Jeff is younger, working class, and shorter. Eddie likes a bit of rough, and Jeff fits the bill perfectly. The trick will be convincing him to follow Eddie’s five-step training programme—which would be easy if Eddie wasn’t starting to have feelings for the rough-around-the-edges landscaper.Once Jeff lays his hands on Eddie, things definitely get out of hand. But it’ll take more than hot, sweaty, kinky sex to persuade him to come out of the closet—especially to himself.Warning: Contains a happy sub, a confused Dom, a high ratio of sex to plot, misuse of root ginger, and a suitcase of kink. Written in Jo’s usual exceedingly “English” English.
Wrapped in Leather
M.A. Church - 2014
Toshi starts the special weekend with a bang by surprising Ian at home with lunch. There’s a bang all right, but it’s between Ian and another guy. Jase Taylor’s auto repair shop and the BDSM club, Wrapped Up, keep him busy while he waits for Mr. Right, instead of Mr. Right Now. He’s a Dom, but playing with the club’s submissives isn’t providing the usual stress release. After a day from hell, he deserves a good meal at his favorite steak house. Toshi and Jase find a mix-up with their reservations: a table for Baylor, not Taylor. When Toshi invites Jase to dine with him, they discover a mutual affection for leather and a shared belief that trust must be earned. Before they can explore their common interests, Toshi suffers a series of attacks by vandals. Jase’s protective instincts kick in, but both wonder if it can lead to anything permanent. **Second Edition, Previously Published** This book has been previously published.

When trouble-making (and brilliant) programmer Ewan McKinney walks into Nate's office and recognizes him from the Club, he seems like the worst possible candidate for the role. He's stubborn, unpredictable, and fiercely independent. Nate knows he should keep his distance, but he can't stand back and watch Ewan tear his own life apart. Not when it's becoming painfully clear how Nate wants to take care of him. Ewan has nothing in his life under control. If he had, he wouldn't have ended up the pet project of his new boss, who just happens to know Ewan's kinky little secret. But instead of blackmailing him, Nathaniel Scott seems determined to fix him somehow. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic Ewan is determined to prove he doesn't need Nate's pity, but the closer they get the more obvious it becomes that Ewan needs someone in his life to tell him 'no'. But does it have to be Nate? And why does this feel so much like falling in love?
