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.
