Elena Lopez has changed. Not only her outward appearance, but also inside where she struggles with her own personal demons. She tried desperately to cope with her horrible secret, but couldn't. So she ran, leaving her friends, her family and the only life she had ever known far behind. She also left Dex, who she knew was the love of her life. Since returning from the war, Dex is different, no longer the outgoing, gregarious, extrovert he once was. He is now remote, cool and distant. But it isn't the war that plagues him, instead it's personal. He hasn't gotten over the loss of Elena, his true submissive, the perfect counterpart to his innate dominance. Will he ever be able to put the past behind him and move on? And if he can't, how will he ever exorcise her from his heart and mind. How will he make his body stop craving hers? Neither one of them has been able to move on. Elena is unable to control her longing for him. She misses Dex and the lifestyle including the sights and sounds of BDSM, and even the spankings. So, while home dealing with a family crisis she decides it's finally time to deal with her past and face her demons. Elena knows that she must get Dex to forgive her somehow. She is determined to reach him in order to reconcile with him no matter the price. She will yield to his dominance, submit to any demands, and surrender to any punishment if she can just make it right with him again. Return to Club Decadence where the sexy Doms and their feisty subs engage in more BDSM play. In the midst of ever present drama, danger and intrigue we meet up with old friends as they continue to battle the criminal element that continues to haunt them. As it creeps closer and closer to the safety net they have built around their women they realize that they are all at risk. Despite their past problems, Dex is determined to keep Elena safe even if that means taking her over his knee as often as is necessary.
Author

USA Today and #1 International Bestselling multi-genre author of #1 series such as Primarian Mates (sci-fi), The Jackson Brothers (historical western), and Club Decadence (contemporary ). Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal, or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous, and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger, and suspense to her plots. Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year and has over 25 published works to date.
