ZANE’S CHOICE (The Doms of Club Mystique 4) releases today. Be sure to check it out.
SYNOPSIS:
Beautiful, curvy, Ravyn
Templeton was raised by a controlling father who forced her to marry a man she
detested. Three years ago her husband, Charles Dolman, took her to a BDSM club
in Houston to show her how a real woman could satisfy a man. When he chose a
sub and began a scene with her, Ravyn refused to watch him and watched another
Dom instead. The lesson she learned that night was what a Dom could do for a
woman and ever since then the unknown Dom has haunted her dreams. After years
of fighting for her freedom, Ravyn has finally managed to escape her abusive
marriage only to discover her ex-husband tried to have her killed.
Zane Ramsey is an
Assistant District Attorney and co-owner of Club Mystique, the BDSM club he and
his brothers built on their Texas ranch. He’s also the Dom Ravyn saw three
years ago in Houston. When they finally meet they’re instantly attracted to
each other and against his better judgment Zane begins an affair with Ravyn.
When her ex-husband Charles Dolman accuses her of laundering money for Carlos
Mendez’ drug cartel, and Ravyn refuses to answer Zane’s questions, he leaves
her.
Ravyn is devastated but
let’s Zane go to protect him. She’s being blackmailed by Carlos Mendez, and she
doesn’t dare tell Zane the truth. After she’s arrested, Fate steps in and
brings them together again. Now, only Zane can save her if he loves her enough
to fight for her.

Fate in the form of Addison Ramsey steps in and
brings them together again and again. Zane has the power to save Ravyn but only
if he loves her enough to fight for her.
FIRST
ADULT EXCERPT:
“I told
you from the beginning if you were guilty I wouldn’t lie for you,” Zane said,
the words gritted out between clenched teeth.
“Then you
shouldn’t have fucked me.” Ravyn reached up and tried to pry his fingers from
her hair. “Let go, Zane.”
“This time
you’ve gone too far. Be still or I’ll beat your ass.”
“You
can’t. You’re the one who set the limits of our relationship.” She gave up
trying to pry his hand loose. “You said fucking only. Nothing else.”
“Tell me
the truth then—tell me what you know.”
“Nothing.
I don’t know anything.”
“You lie
to me and then you question why I won’t—” He pulled her head back until the
tendons in her neck stood out. “Just don’t lie to me again. It really pisses me
off.”
Ravyn used
her peripheral vision to look to her right. Everyone’s attention was focused on
them. “Zane, let go. Everyone’s watching.”
“Don’t
mind us,” Cade said. “You’d be surprised how often something like this happens
around here lately.”
Zane shot
a dirty look toward the room’s occupants then focused on her again. “Everyone
out.”
A moment later Cade picked Addison up then settled in the
chair behind his desk and smiled. Addison grinned at Zane then snuggled into
Cade, letting him know they were staying.
SECOND ADULT EXCERPT:
Ravyn
jumped up and turned to Zane, her hands on her hips. “You damn bastard. You
want to believe I’m guilty.” She swiveled on her four inch stilettos and walked
toward the door. “Sorry, Addison, I appreciate the invitation but I can’t stay
here.”
“Ravyn, if
you walk through that door you’ll be sorry,” Zane said.
Ravyn
turned around and smiled as she backed toward the door then sent him a one
finger wave as she disappeared into the hall.
Giggles
swept around the room as the men cleared their throats and sent him
what-are-you- going-to-do- now looks.
Zane began
rolling up his sleeves as he followed her. “We’ll be right back.”
Ravyn
heard his footsteps behind her as she hurried toward the front door. When he
grabbed her arm and pulled her around she shoved him back and then ran for the
front door. He caught up to her and wrapped his right arm around her waist then
hoisted her onto his hip and carried her, kicking and screaming, into the
dining room. He hooked a chair with his foot, pulled it out then sat down and
pulled her over his lap.
“Don’t you
dare, you bastard.” Ravyn reached back and tried to cover her butt.
In seconds
he had her skirt shoved up around her waist. “You’ve been begging for this for
months, Ravyn.” Zane ran his hand over her plump ass then snapped the strap of
the thong that separated her rounded cheeks and laughed when she screamed as it
stung her anus.
“I have
not.” She kicked her legs and felt him shove her shoes from her feet before he
swept her panties down her legs.
“Yes, you
have and I’m going to give you a taste of what you think you want.” He tangled
her panties around her ankles, restraining her legs then stroked his hand up
the back of her legs to her butt.
Ravyn
grabbed the leg of the chair and lifted her torso. Zane hooked one leg over
hers then held her in place by pressing his hand against the small of her back.
He rubbed and squeezed her ass until she moaned.
“I’m
supposed to have a safeword and a list of limits.”
“Pick a
safeword.”
“Guilty,”
Ravyn said, then screeched when he swatted her ass. “Let me up, damn you.”
“You said you wanted to be my sub. Well, I’ve
got news for you, princess, in this house there are rules for subs and you’ve
just broken several of them,” he swatted her rounded ass five times as he
talked, “and, you don’t air our personal business in front of my family and
friends.” Zane swatted her another five times, each swat harder than the last
while he ignored her screams. “Subs don’t cuss in this house.” He swatted her
five more times. “No disrespecting a Dom in this house and that goes double for
me.” Five more swats landed on her ass.

AUTHOR BIO:
I was born in Utah but
I’ve traveled throughout America and lived in sunny California, west Texas and
the mountains of Colorado. I wrote my first erotic romance in the summer of
2013. It was accepted and published that same year. Since then I’ve written
three more books in the Doms of Club Mystique series. At this time I’m busy
writing the fifth and final book in the series. My heroes are tough cowboys
with military backgrounds and my heroines are strong, sassy and submissive. I
want the reader to fall in love with my characters and feel their pain and
their joy so I put a lot of emotions and suspense in my books.
Other than writing, I
love to read, travel, garden, swim and hike with my family, as well as go to
the local drive-in movie with a carload of friends and a huge container of
home-made cheese popcorn.
