Stronghold Doms Series

A Dom with trust issues and a submissive pretending to be something she's not... what could possibly go wrong? "If you've ever wanted to be part of an intimate real world BDSM circle, but leaving the house isn't your jam... the Stronghold series is the perfect fictional home away from home." - Loki Renard, USA Today Bestselling Author After years of reading but never doing, Angel is finally ready to explore her fantasies in real life. The only problem? She'll have to learn the ropes all alone. Adopting a false Mistress persona for one club to explore the lifestyle, she's not expecting to be irresistibly attracted to one of men she meets, but she persists in pretending to be something she's not. Master Adam is looking for a relationship, and not with a Mistress, but he can't get "Mistress Angela's" face out of his head. His past has taught him to hate deception and liars, so when he meets Angel again as the submissive she really is, he has an important choice to make: turn and walk away or teach the impertinent subbie a lesson about misrepresenting herself.

She's his best friend's little sister and he promised to keep an eye on her... but that's not what he really wants to do with her. Lexie grew up with a crush on her brother's best friend, Patrick. He's gorgeous, sexy, controlling and arrogant, and she knows that he wants what amounts to a full-time submissive. So far, none of his girlfriends have ever been able to give him what he needs, but she's sure she's just the woman for him. She keeps pushing the boundaries of their relationship, until he agrees to allow her into the club that he owns, Stronghold, and train her. She can't help but wonder, will she be able to prove to him that they're worth the risk, or is she going to end brokenhearted? Hands off. That's what Lexie is to Patrick, and not just because she's his best friend's little sister. It's also because her family is practically his, they share all of the same friends, and he's worried about breaking her heart. The sweet little Pixie he's always known has grown up into a gorgeous young woman, one whom he wants to tie up, spank and control. She's passing every test he sets in front of her, but can she convince him that they'll be able to make it work before her brother comes home and Patrick has to ask his best friend if he can date his little sister. Because if she can't, Patrick knows he'll remain silent on the subject forever. It's just not worth tearing apart the people he considers his family, not to mention the family of friends that he's made, if he and Lexie aren't able to meet each other's needs. For now, he's going to make what memories he can while he keeps his promise to train her. He knows he's toeing the line during her training, but he just can't seem to stop himself, and she's starting to break his careful control.

They're getting over their exes with each other... but some exes aren't so good at staying in the past. Jared and Leigh both know what it's like to be trapped in a seven year relationship where they give more than they get, the question is whether or not they can move on from them. Two steps forward, one step back. That's how Jared's life feels when it comes to his ex Marissa. Every time he thinks he's escaped the vortex of her emotional demands, she ends up sucking him right back in; but for the first time, he thinks he might have the strength to pull free entirely. At least he hopes so. Right now it just seems like he's hurting everyone around him and he doesn't know how to make it right. Leigh Douglas spent seven years with the man she thought she would one day marry, but she's now realized that she needs him to fight just as hard for her as she always fought for him. Since he won't, she's working on getting over him and finding someone who won't take her for granted. On the other side of the equation, she's definitely falling for Jared, but he's still entangled with his ex. No one can understand the hooks that Marissa has in him like Leigh can, but that doesn't mean that she's willing to take the back-seat again in another relationship. As Jared tries to side-step his ex and Leigh takes her first steps into the domination and submission-filled world of the Stronghold club, their friends hold a collective breath as everyone wonders whose heart will be broken in the end.

Come and meet the doms of Stronghold.... Ever since Michael Waverly joined Stronghold and recognized Ellie Sanders, he's wanted to scene with her, but over time, it's turned into something more than that, and he knows one scene just won't satisfy him. Unfortunately, she's been avoiding him, and she has a reputation for never doing more than playing at the club - no commitments.  Now, for the first time, her defenses seem to be down, and she's giving him a chance - but while she's willing to sign a club contract with him, will she ever be willing to open her heart?  Ellie is so full of secrets that sometimes, she feels like that's all she's made of - all the things she doesn't want other people to know about her. The person she's most afraid of revealing all of her secrets to is Michael - her one-time protector and crush in high school, now grown into a devastatingly attractive sadist at Stronghold. She wants to play with him. More than that, she wants to know if maybe she has a chance for a normal relationship with him...the first man in a long time whom she's both trusted and been attracted to.  Unfortunately for Ellie, normal has always been out of her reach. The most important secret of all is the one she's keeping from everyone, especially Michael, because there's no way he'd ever want her if he knew the truth.  But communication is everything in a relationship like this, and Michael's determined to strip back all of Ellie's defenses and claim her as his own...with a determined dom like that, what chance does a scared subbie have of keeping her secrets? 

It takes a strong man to win the heart of an even stronger woman. Luke Evans is a confident, commanding man who happens to really like a bossy woman in the bedroom, so it's no surprise when he's immediately drawn to Stronghold's bossiest Domme, Olivia Williams. Unfortunately for him, while he's just Olivia's type in a lot of ways, she's not happy that he's in a position of professional power over her, a decision she was not privy to when it was made. She's determined not to mix business with pleasure, no matter how appealing putting Luke Evans on his knees in front of her would be. But Luke's just as much a go-getter as Olivia and he's perfectly happy to join the class of new submissives in order to show her just how far he's willing to go. When it becomes clear Olivia has attracted the attention of someone else - and not in a good way - the tension among the entire Stronghold group goes through the roof and Luke can't help but feel protective no matter how Olivia resists him. With two strong personalities both used to winning, who will come out on top in the end? The Stronghold Doms Series 1. The Sassy Submissive 2. Taming the Tease 3.
