REVISED EDITION now live on Amazon. Any interested in reading the rewritten version, please contact me with the type of file you would like and I will email it to you.

Anyone who has held off reading it because of the repeating POV's, that is no longer an issue as it has been completely remedied.

Yes, I'm having a moment. It must be my hormones. Anyway, let me just start by saying thank you to everyone who has read my books.








My editing was horrible my first book, still mildly bad in my second book, and still, you read them and had good things to say. I'm still evolving as an author and despite my first book being riddled with repetitive issues, you read Book 2.






















I never thought putting my ideas on paper would turn into anything more than a naughty pastime. Everyone who continues to read my labors of love and send me positive messages - you have no idea the warmth and elation that comes from your kind words.

It's official, the ARC's have been emailed out and there's no turning back. My stomach is in knots, my heart is racing and my mind is spinning out of control. Yes, my fruits of labor are out there to be judged and criticized - AGAIN.

Writing The Art of Control was daunting and emotionally exhausting and I'm in serious need of a margarita with extra EXTRA EXTRA tequila. Working full-time, raising a very excitable 8-year-old and keeping a high-maintenance husband happy while writing a novel is... well... for lack of a better word OVERWHELMING.

Anyhow... on to put the finishing touches on the final edited version of Book 3.

Book 3 now available on Smashwords!!
All file formats available, including Kindle, Nook, PDF and more.

It should be live on Amazon in about 12 hours.

Elsa knew she was entering the predator’s lair by agreeing to Mr. Black’s seemingly simple request and that her will would be tested, but she couldn’t resist the temptation. Nor did she want to. How could she when she saw those dazzling eyes staring back at her? Never in her life had she met the likes of a man like Victor Laurenzo and not once had anyone looked so exposed as he did when he looked into her eyes. He was afraid of the very thing she was. Or was she just deluding herself? Maybe it was all part of the stony, deceiving mask he wore. She supposed he would either make her his victim or shield her with his life. She hoped for the latter, but she was willing to take the risk of finding out which one it would be.

He dug into his briefcase again and brought out a pen and held it out to her. When she reached for it, he pulled it just out of her reach.

“Once you sign this, there’s no going back,” his gruff voice held a note of challenge as did the wistful expression on his face.

Elsa knew better. The make-shift contract in front of her was neither legal nor binding. Surely a man of Mr. Black’s intelligence knew that. Keeping her thoughts to herself, she nodded and attempted to reach for the pen again. As if he had read her thoughts, he held the pen at bay once more.

“If you think you can simply back out of this agreement at any point, Ms. Cassidy, you couldn’t be more wrong. Though this piece of paper may not be legal in a court of law, I follow my own set of laws and rules, and I will hold you to it regardless.”

She quickly lowered her hand and placed it in her lap. There was a certainty in his voice – the kind of certainty that told her that nothing less than her all would be acceptable. A loud ringing in her ears blocked out all sounds as she sat unmoving and gaping at him.

“For how long?” the words caught in her throat.

His pupils flared infinitesimally and his response came without hesitation. “Until I say otherwise.”

Suddenly Mr. Black’s simple rules didn’t seem so simple. “Are you going to hurt me?” she finally found the courage to ask when he sat silently unresponsive.

“Everything done within these walls will be done with safety in mind. No irreparable physical damage will be caused.”

Mr. Black definitely had a way with words, but he didn’t answer her question. Not directly anyway and the expression on his face told her he was holding something back. And what about her emotional well-being? Would there be irreparable damage caused to that?

Remembering what she had read about in one of her erotic books, she asked, “So what you’re saying is everything will be safe, sane and consensual?”

Victor clicked the pen several times, one side of his mouth twisting upward as he let out a short breathy laugh. “Not exactly, but two out of three ain’t bad.”
