Now I turn the spotlight onto my smart and sexy series… the Battle of Wills series.

This is a two part series. I first came up with the titles of ‘Retraining the Sub’ and ‘Retraining the Dom’ thinking, “What a great idea for book titles!, and then I conceived stories to fit those titles.

I was delighted when the first of which, ‘Retraining the Sub’ was a semi-finalist for Best Cover and Hottest Alpha Hero in the Evernight Readers’ Awards last year. *yippee, clap hands* Thank you, readers.

Here is the blurb:

 

When submissive Ann misuses her safe word once too often she is told to attend a retraining program. However, the only Master prepared to train her is hard, inflexible Luke, the man she jilted eight years previously. 

Dominated by her parents, shy Ann left home because there was something missing in her life she wasn’t getting from her sweet fiancé, as he was then, and is introduced to BDSM. 

Shocked to see each other at the club, but stunned at how they’ve both changed, Ann has to be trained by Luke, or leave. It becomes a battle of wills to see who will lose control—the battle being about trust. Can Ann give up control and trust a Master? Can Luke trust Ann not to run away again? The emotional victory for each battle flies back and forth between them. Who will ultimately win?

‘The Long & Short of it Reviews’ said: Retraining the Sub is fast paced and filled to the brim with bratty sub antics and a Dom that is determined to have the last word.

A year on I brought out the second in the series, ‘Retraining the Dom’, and was overjoyed when it was voted runner-up in the Sexiest Scene category in the Evernight Readers’ Awards (thank you so much *big grin*)

 

AND it was awarded a top pick at ‘Night Owl Reviews’ who said: I found this book to be very well written. It was a great book that allows you to see how these two made a relationship work between them.

(By the way – the name of the heroine for this book was chosen by you readers in a contest on my blog when I was writing the book! I was asked in an interview how I came up with the names and this was my answer: 

My original idea had been Rachel and that was one of the options I gave readers to choose from along with Diana, Helen, Jillian and Olivia. I wanted a name that sounded strong and dominant, which to me all those names are and Olivia won - Jillian was the second most popular but I intend to use all those names in future books).

Here is the blurb:

Club Allure has a retraining program for Doms, and Trey must go on it. However, he is much too strong a Dom to let anyone else order him around. The owner of the club comes up with the idea of asking an older and extremely experienced Domme to retrain Trey, and try to understand his hidden past. 

Unlike the Dom, Olivia sticks to the rules, and is also very imposing physically. What no one knows is that Olivia is a sub at heart, but through circumstances became a Domme. She has to try to stop Trey topping her, but he is everything she ever wanted in a Dom and a man, except too many years have passed.

Meanwhile, Trey finds himself having fun with a woman for the first time ever and gradually recognizes the sub in Olivia. But when Dom challenges Domme, who will win?
