Break her. Build her. Keep her. Lexi Four broken engagements. Four men who left me with nothing but shame, shattered dreams, and a growing suspicion that maybe the problem… is me. I’ve always been stubborn, headstrong, a little too loud and way too mouthy. The kind of woman who demands control, and then wonders why no one ever stays. But when I find that ad on a spoof website, something in me breaks wide open. A man who can teach you how to be a real woman? It sounds ridiculous, offensive, even. But I’m out of pride, out of options, and dangerously close to giving up. So I go up the mountain to a secluded cabin. Ready for whatever comes next. I’m done pretending I don’t want to be handled, claimed, undone. I’m ready to be broken. Only Emmett isn’t what I expected. He’s colder. Stricter. Smarter. And when he puts a collar in his hand, I’m not sure whether to run or beg. But the truth is... I’m already his. Emmett The ad was a joke. A cruel dig from my ex after she found evidence of my old life. The floggers, the cuffs, the camera. She didn’t understand, not really. So she put my secrets online for the world to mock. Let them line up and see what kind of monster you are. I expected a laugh. A scam. Maybe a warning from the site to take it down. What I didn’t expect… was her. Lexi. All fire and flaws, eyes daring me to tame her. Everything I’ve tried to forget about the life I walked away from. She’s not built for this world, not yet. But she wants it. Craves the structure. The surrender. The pain. So I make a choice. I take her. Not to punish her, but to mold her. To strip her down, build her back up, and show her what it means to be mine. What starts as training becomes something deeper. Something addictive. She’s under my skin. In my blood. And I’m not sure I’ll survive walking away. Because she’s not just a submissive. She’s the one thing I didn’t know I was searching for. ******** Break Me is a standalone novel featuring a dominant man, a bratty submissive, and scorching dark romance. Warning: Recommended for readers 18+. This intense BDSM romance contains graphic content, explicit power exchange, primal play, and a deeply emotional journey of submission and love.

Rae is a daydreamer, nurse, bookworm, nature enthusiast, wife, momma, animal activist and an optimist. She has lived her entire life in NYC and loves to travel with her family. She believes that sweets should have a larger piece of the nutritional pyramid and that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the best TV shows ever invented. When she is not working as a nurse in her community, she can either be found reading, writing, or taking a walk while listening to music. She has been writing books in her mind for as long as she can remember but decided that maybe there were others out in the world that would find joy in the words she would put down on the page.
