Deviant Intent: DECEPTION
"What the eyes see, and the ears hear, the mind believes..."
What Dominic Law found out after his first couple of cases as a private investigator was that everything... and everyone... is not what it seems.
However, since he had Natasha and Niki to relieve the stress after working such difficult cases, Dom figured that it was worth all the trouble... especially when they knew the stresses of the job, with Natasha being a detective and Niki being the newly appointed assistant district attorney.
The next cases that the firm picks up are no less complicated; one involves a murdered submissive in Natasha's district, leading them to try and weed out the killer among five different Dominants with an axe to grind.
The other case that occurs in Niki's district brings to the surface an issue that is at the center of debate in the Fetish community: consent. Or, more specifically, can consent be used to hide behind a crime committed during the heat of passion?
Deviant Intent: Deception takes you back to the streets and dungeons of Atlanta’s Fetish community, twisting the cases to their final conclusions, guiding you through the minds of the principal players of the “Kink Detective” series.

About the author
Shakir Rashaan
59 books273 followers“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.” ~ Virginia Wolfe
Conjurer of worlds. Sorcerer. Man. Myth. Legend. Prototype.
All of these words describe Shakir Rashaan, who has been creating mind-twisting stories and lavish worlds for well over a decade, rolling onto the national literary scene as a contributor to Z-Rated: Chocolate Flava 3 in 2012. His raw, vivid, and uncut writing style captured the attention of the Queen of Erotica herself, Zane. A year later, Shakir’s debut novel with Strebor/Atria/Simon & Schuster, The Awakening, opened to rave reviews, while the follow-up in the Nubian Underworld series, Legacy, garnered even more success, and the third installment, Tempest, helping to make the series one of the most unique and best-selling in the erotic romance genre.
Rashaan would later add to his impressive catalog with the debut of the Kink, P.I. Series in 2015, starting with Obsession and following up with Deception and Reckoning. Drawing comparisons to Walter Mosely’s Easy Rawlins series, Kink, P.I. has developed into yet another best-selling series, carving its place as a “throwback to the days of classic mystery books” in the mystery genre.
Further adding to his impressive portfolio, Rashaan was a regular blogger for USA Today’s Happy Ever After blog, where readers could find him at his “Manly Musings” personal blog, reviewing books, television shows, and movies from a man’s perspective. He wrote recaps for various shows for the STARZ Network, including The Girlfriend Experience, POWER, and Survivor’s Remorse, before the blog was retired in late 2018.
Shakir has gone on in recent years to pen a series of bestselling novels, including In Service to the Senator, a sexy political thriller surrounding an up-and-coming vice presidential candidate, The Devil’s All-American, a unique paranormal romance featuring a rising college basketball star, Unthinkable, a not-so-conventional romance set in the entertainment industry, Love, Lust & Beautiful Liars, a romantic suspense novel about an international weapons dealer who was looking to retire and enjoy his HEA, and most recently in 2021, Queen of Cambridge, part of the Queens of the Castle anthology series.
Shakir has switched gears, jumping into the young adult world, developing the Neverwraith series, a YA paranormal fantasy for Entangled Teen/Macmillan, and the South Hampton series, in addition to several other YA and New Adult projects to expand his NEBU universe. Neverwraith is his most ambitious project to date, about a teenage descendant of an ancient metahuman bloodline who searches for the truth about the death of his parents and their connection to a centuries-old blood feud over sacred texts contained inside of his native Kindara, an island nation located near the West African coast ... all while navigating high school
Shakir currently resides in suburban Atlanta with his wife, soon-to-be college graduate daughter, and a Jack-Chi named Teddy.

Not a disappoint at all! I loved this book from beginning to end, and Dominic Law had me intrigued. I think if I ever met him or someone like him in real life, I'd be tongue tied or something. Once again Shakir delves into the PI and B/D/S/M world of Dominic Law and his partner and mentor Kane Alexander (aka Ramesses). There were so many twists and turns that I felt like I couldn't predict what might happen or who the actual suspect was supposed to be. With his ladies helping him every step of the way, Dom is piecing the clues together and trying to solve the case before the media gets wind of all that has happened. I know that I just finished this one but I can't wait for the next installment. Loved it!! So hot!
