The Submission Games book 1 by @TamaraMatayaAuthor
https://www.facebook.com/TamaraMatayaAuthor/ Releasing March 10th!
The currency is pleasure and the cost is a surrender of power.
Investigative journalist Sloane Winters has one goal: take down The Underground, the exclusive
BDSM club that’s swallowed her twin. Her exposé will show her sister the truth—there’s no
such thing as harmless fun in BDSM.
Darko Aralica immediately recognizes Sloane as a submissive, but her judgmental arrogance
about kink is an intriguing challenge. When she begs him to teach her submission, he accepts.
He’ll prove Sloane’s rightful place is at The Underground—or tied to his bed.
Darko begins Sloane’s training, guiding her through sensual scenes that strip away her
preconceptions about the lifestyle – and herself. Sloane thought she wanted the truth.
But the truth doesn’t always set you free.
Welcome to The Underground.
You can’t buy your way in. You can’t screw your way in. But you might earn your chance to enter
the inner circle and submit to Doms who know your desires better than you do. If you can take
it. There can only be one winner of the Submission Games. It probably won’t be you.
Get on your knees.
As an added bonus, Tamara’s giving away the chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card to anyone
who pre-orders MAKE ME. Simply forward your receipt of purchase email, or a screenshot of

Here it is! How to Punish Your Playboy’s cover! Hope you...
Here it is! How to Punish Your Playboy’s cover! Hope you like— I sure do, especially Veronika’s vintage lingerie. Here’s some more info:
In this saucy and funny
domination romance, pin-up model Veronika Kane meets sexy, arrogant Aston
Delano and decides to teach this playboy a lesson he’ll never forget.
When Veronika Kane hears that she’s up for Miss
Pin Up Las Vegas, she auctions off her classic hot-rod and decides to head out
west. But when the man who bought her car, hot restaurateur Aston Delano, asks
her to “show him the ropes,” his not-so-innocent question takes them down a
surprising, sexy road. And as they travel cross-country as Domme/sub, their
chemistry sizzles—as do the luscious meals Aston creates.
Torn between the rediscovered pleasure of food
and worry about staying in competition shape, Mistress Veronika unexpectedly
finds herself as much a pupil as a teacher. Throw in long-distance trouble from
her ex and from Aston’s family, and it’s a potential recipe for disaster. A
road trip can be hard on any relationship—will this drive them apart, or will
they buckle in for the long haul?

Excerpt:
I put my hands on my
knees and leaned over in a full-on sex
kitten pose. “I’m kinky. I’m into bondage. I like to
tie men like
you up and have them for dinner,” I said into his
ear. Part of me
contemplated adding, Not, like, literally, since
this boy was skittish.
Again with the ragged breaths. This one was going to
drive
me crazy. I undid those tempting buttons on his vest
first. Jeez, a
jacket, vest, and shirt just to get to this guy’s
skin? What a tease.
“Okay,” he said softly.
“Um, what do I do?” His eyes were still
full of fear and questions, but I knew he was game.
His body was
telling me more by the second. His open, wet mouth
and the
stiffening in his pants betrayed his real interest.
I smiled. “All you have
to do is obey. Submit.”
“Okay, but I don’t
think I’ve ever done either of those things
in my life,” he admitted, his roguish expression
returning. I knew
he was too cocky for this. “What happens if I
don’t?” He narrowed
his eyes and pouted his lips.
Instead of dropping my
smile, it widened. “You get punished.”
It was go big or go
home time with my Dirty Playboy, and he had
lessons to learn.
His tan skin blanched
slightly and he forced a nod. “Yes . . .
Mistress?”
I tapped his cheek with
my fingers. “You’re a fast learner.
Good boy.” And apparently I was a fast learner, too,
because I was
even convincing myself I was up for this. Part of me
considered
FaceTiming Sarah for tips, but I knew I needed to do
this on my
own.
Swinging my legs over
the center console, I planted myself
firmly in his lap with my bag of tricks to my right.
I unlocked
the cuffs for a moment so I could get that stifling
jacket off him.
“Don’t worry, those are
going back on,” I said.
He nodded.
“But first, I’m going
to bind your chest.” I slid his jacket off his
shoulders and tossed it behind us. A stiff piece of
paper dropped
beside the seat, probably a business card. I clicked
the furry cuffs
back into place and his arms were immobile again.
Damn, he
looked so good. Even though he had the stereotypical
rich brat
look about him, there was an edge to the way he
dressed and with
his hair a mess, it made me want to reveal the bad
boy inside who
was dying to get out. But those diamond cufflinks
winked at me,
telling me exactly how much I needed to know about
Aston. He
was loaded and spoiled rotten. And I was a girl from
the rough
side of town.
A smile inched halfway
up his cheek. I knotted the end of
the rope to one of the seat belt anchors and wound
it around the
back of the seat. My chest pressed full up against
his as my arms
worked to feed the rope to the other side. He
smelled like pine
and sugar and I wanted to moan right there,
straddling him, flush
against his hard body. I clenched my teeth to keep
the sounds
inside and eased back, winding the rope around his
chest and
then back around the seat. We sat like this, close
then apart, for
nearly a minute. I felt him harden and squirm with
each rotation
until I finally reached the end of the skein. I
knotted it with a
pretty bow and sat back to examine my handiwork.
Pretty decent
for a first-timer

Mina Vaughn: Rock Star Tamer and Pitch Wars Mentor
Querying writers, if you don’t follow Brenda Drake’s contests to nab agents’ attention, you’re straight-up cray cray. Anyway, this is my bio in case you’re thinking of wanting me as a mentor. Don’t be afraid of an erotica writer who writes about vampires, rockers and Dommes as your mentor! I don’t bite…unless you ask.
Hi, I’m Mina Vaughn and I write dirty, silly things. And I want to read yours.
I consider my genre “Kink with a Wink”, which is how I describe my DommeNation series with Simon and Schuster, which starts with How to Discipline Your Vampire . It’s about a role-play-obsessed Domme and a vampire with a craving for punishment. Yeah, different stuff. The next book in the series is How to Reprimand Your Rock Star , about a rookie basketball star and her rocker lover. The final book is about a pin up and a sexy playboy. I’m also repped by Jessica Sinsheimer, who is an agent in this contest. Hell yes!
If you’re the type who writes romance, comedy, or someone who loves blending quirky genres, I’m the mentor to seek out! My second title in the Domme-nation series is How to Reprimand Your Rock Star, which is NA, so I like that, too. Anyway, I can’t wait for this contest and I’m looking forward to meeting a mentee who loves steamy fun as much as I do!
Actively seeking:
-Romance
-NA
-comedy
-Paranormal
-Women’s fiction
-Genre-bending creativity

Synopsis
Callie Chabot would stop at nothing to save her ex-boyfriend Blade Bennett from the clutches of vampire clan leader Talis de Rancourt, even if means becoming immortal herself. What she doesn’t know is that Blade has already defeated Talis, and he’s waiting for Callie in the afterlife.
Now Callie only has her creator, Tristan Trevosier, to turn to for guidance. But he’s too wrapped up in the debauchery of the Las Vegas rock scene to give a damn about the particulars of being undead. That’s enough to drive Callie crazy on its own, but female vampires are automatic clan leaders.
Not only does Callie have no idea how to wrangle a vampire clan, but her would-be followers have more to gain from her failure. They instead choose to follow Blade—and he’s hell-bent on making Callie pay for her bad decisions. Since he took out the existing clan leader, that automatically puts him at the helm of what should be Callie’s new clan.
That’s when seasoned rogue vampire, Cash Logan, shows up, shrouded in magic and mystery. No one is sure which side Cash is on, but Callie needs to take a chance on the one vampire who is willing to give her the answers she needs, no matter how dark and frightening they may be. Callie must trust her instincts and form alliances that may backfire. Cash shows Callie that playing nice is no longer an option, and that fixing her wrongs won’t always make everything right.
To take control of her clan, Callie must look to her rival to discover exactly what makes her a leader.

In this fun and saucy romance novel, all-star college basketball player Thea dominates on the courts—and off—with a rock star who is determined to win her over.
Thea is a star basketball player at UConn on track to be Rookie of the Year. That is, if she can stay focused on the game. Lately that hasn’t been going so well, as her knee has been bothering her. But that’s not the only thing on her mind…
Ever since rock star Keaton Lowe surprised her in the girl’s locker room, Thea can’t stop thinking about him. On top of his status and enticing ways, he seems to know everything about her. But some of his actions cross the line, and Keaton needs to be punished. Will Thea keep her head in the game, or get distracted by her other favorite pastime—reprimanding her rock star?
