Break Me

2016

I didn’t know I was submissive, not until I met Him, not until he threatened to pull me over his knees. That began a journey I hadn’t expected to love so very much. And when I lost him, the man I’d called Sir, lover, partner… I retreated inside myself, adrift and uncertain. I put one foot in front of the other, shutting off my emotions, my needs. I was content to simply exist. Then, Jared came along. Sitting in my café, browsing my bookshelves, quietly pushing himself under my skin until I was no longer content to exist inside my walls. He was different than the man I’d lost, but at the same time, he was everything I’d tried to hide from, everything I had convinced myself I no longer wanted. Jared, patient and kind, wanted me. He wanted my submission. But how could I give it? How could I allow him to break me when I didn’t want to be broken anymore? Author’s Note: This is not your typical BDSM book. These are not your typical BDSM characters. The pain of loss and the catalyst who brings about healing are contained within these pages. Read at your own risk.

This novella is a standalone that is part of The Club Series. To learn more about The Club and its members, visit The Club website or Facebook page. Austin Pepperdine took an instant shine to the pretty little maid who busted in on his nap. Temporarily taking over security at The Club for his ex-military buddy, he was exhausted most nights and often crashed in one of the empty rooms. Which was how he wound up naked and pointing a gun at Dana. Dana Dellaney had just been trying to do her job–and pulling the gun on her was a bit over the top. Granted, she may have overreacted as well, screaming bloody murder, but once Austin covered his shame (his rather impressive shame), she realized he meant no harm. The attraction was instant, and in a place like The Club, it was only time until they were both in that bed, naked. Austin wasn’t the man she had started out looking for. But, with his kind disposition, disarming good looks and his witty intelligence, Austin might be the best thing for her and Lola. After all, she was completely done with Ryan Dellaney. Problem was–no one was sure that Ryan was done with his ex-wife. \While this novella is a STANDALONE, the Author highly recommends reading THE DARKEST CORNERS before enjoying this story.\ \\CONTENT WARNING: This story contains adult language and sexual situations.

I received the help to face the demons he had placed inside my mind. But the damage had been done. I left England for a change of scenery. Even the surrounding nations that comprised the United Kingdom were not big enough for me to get lost and find myself.
