Safeword Matte

2012

Matte, pronounced mah-tay, is the word used in some forms of martial arts to stop a fight. It's the Japanese word for stop or wait. Sam (short for Samantha) has made a hobby out of learning the various fighting disciplines, but she also happens to be a sexual submissive. What better safeword than matte? Sam wants to find someone to submit to who she can't beat in a fight. She's tried to make it work with men from the scene who know nothing about fighting, but it doesn't feel real—she needs someone who can truly control her. However, after dating from the fight scene and discovering not all guys like to spank their girlfriends, she's decided to just back away from the whole dating thing for a while... until Fate decides to step in.

Mayday: A CONTEMPORARY BDSM MÉNAGE ROMANCE

2023

Heather’s soul soars when she’s hang-gliding, skydiving, kayaking, or piloting a helicopter during search and rescue missions. She’s taken the term adrenaline junkie to a whole new level. However, she’s never enjoyed sex and never had an orgasm. Instead of giving up on her, Kyle, a long-time friend who convinces her to be more, brings an experienced Dom in to help. Marcus explains she only enjoys extreme sports, so she needs to try extreme sex since the normal kind hasn’t worked. Marcus is all Dom, and helps Kyle bring Heather alive sexually. Just when Heather thinks she has everything figured out, she learns the details of how it worked when the two men shared a girlfriend for years while they were in college. Mayday can be read as a stand-alone. \\ This is book one of a duet, and it ends with a Happy For Now, and not on a cliffhanger. The second book is live, so no waiting in between.

Mayday - Adding Their Fourth

2023

Heather thought she’d finally figured her sexuality out, but there’s so much more to learn. Kyle hasn’t dealt with his past, and it’s long-past time he faced his most visceral of fears. Marcus has wanted his own slave—someone to love and adore and hurt—for most of his adult life. How much negotiating is he willing to do to bring the woman of his dreams under his roof? If she balks at too much of what he wants, is she really the one he’s been searching for? Going from a threesome to a foursome is a much bigger deal than it would seem at first glance. One would think the fourth person being a slave under a near-total power exchange would make things easier, and it does in some respects, but it also complicates life in unexpected ways. You’ll want to strap in and charge your batteries for the second half of the Safeword: Mayday duet, because this one goes to a whole mountain of unexpected places.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Candace Blevins writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance, epic fantasy contemporary BDSM romance, and two kick-ass motorcycle club series. She’s published more than fifty books. Candace lives with her husband of twenty-four years and their two teenaged daughters. The family’s beloved, goofy, retired racing greyhounds are usually at her side as she writes, quietly keeping her company. Or sometimes not so quietly. Her urban fantasy series, Only Human, gives us a world where weredragons, werewolves, werelions, three different species of vampires, and a variety of other mythological beings exist. Candace's various paranormal romance series are all sister series to the Only Human series, and give some secondary characters their happily ever after. Her Dark(ish) Faerie Tale series gives us a close-up and personal look at Queen Mab, and her Dark Underbelly series is, as you’d expect, dark and (if you’re a little twisted) oh-so-yummy. Her contemporary Safeword series gives us characters who happen to have some extreme kinks. Relationships can be difficult enough without throwing power exchange into the mix, and her books show characters who care enough about each other to fight to make the relationship work. Each couple in the Safeword series gives the reader a different take on the lifestyle. You can visit Candace on the web at candaceblevins.com.
