Blurb:
Once a woman’s deepest, darkest desires have been exposed—whetting her appetite for taboo pleasures of the flesh—her unquenchable hungers will not be denied.
Floggers and whips
Chains and leather restraints
Erotic rewards and punishments…oh my!
Seduced by erotic stories and the forbidden lure of Dominance and submission, Evie Sloan longs to explore the scintillating delights firsthand. While some fantasies are better left to the imagination, for the chance to visit a real BDSM club, she’s willing to take a risk.
Been there, done that, seen it all—or so jaded Dominant Niko Kovalenko thought. Evie’s arrival on the scene reawakens long dormant passions and ramps them up to a whole new level. She’s an exciting challenge—a dangerous temptation—igniting the compulsion to posses. To collar.
Evie is no man’s submissive pet. Niko stripped her bare, shed light on all her secret desires and weaknesses, but it’s still not enough for him. To win her man she’ll have to confront her fears and find a way to bridge the distance between them.

The story behind the book:
Imagine this if you will. Its early morning and you are a night person who hasn’t had your first cup of coffee. You’re at a conference, standing in the breakfast buffet line at the hotel when an acquaintance you know is a Dominant comes up behind you and whispers in your ear.
“We have an open spot tonight. You want in?”
The
“oh holy crap” chorus echoing in your head comes along with a vivid slideshow
of what a Dom could possibly mean when offering you a “spot.” A spot tied to a
St. Andrews cross or some other device? A spot on a spanking bench?
Sometimes
having an imaginative mind is a curse. Needless to say, a caffeine jolt is not
longer needed because you are now wide awake and fully alert. This actually happened
to me a few years ago.
So
you are probably wondering what the Dom was offering. Two friends and I were invited
to visit and observe at a private BDSM club with the Dom and his sub/wife. We even
got to check the place out before it opened for the night. Score!
Being
able to experience the club before scenes were conducted gave me a greater
comfort level. Knowing that I was under the protection of a Dom I trusted
helped a lot too. But talk about questions. My mind buzzed with a million of
them from having read many wickedly delicious erotic BDSM tales.
The
Dom who invited us, along with the Dom who owned the club, demonstrated fire
flogging, a violet wand and knife play. They allowed us to try wielding a whip
and check out the collection of canes and other toys. The truly brave among us
even tried out the stocks and other devices to get a feel for being restrained.
Once the club opened and members arrived, we were permitted to roam around and
observe a variety of scenes.
The
inspiration for Tempestuous came from that club visit. In fact, much of Evie’s
first trip to club Rendezvous came from my walk on the wild side. Many of the
questions popping into her head were ones I had, as was most of what Evie
experienced. During the fire flogging demo, I held fire in my hand. I now know
the tingling touch of the violet wand, the heart-pounding sensation of wickedly
sharp knives sliding over my throat and arms and the sting of a whip.
My
trip to the club was truly one of the most amazing, thrilling, exciting nights
of my life! For me, that’s where the experience ended and my creativity kicked
in. No, I did not meet a hunky, rich Dom like Niko or turn into a tempestuous
brat and get spanked (darn it).
Oh,
and speaking of the very delicious hero, Niko. He was inspired by a real life hunk
straight from the pages of PlayGirl. Oh yes, ladies, he’s real, although I have
no idea if he’s a Dominant, regardless of what my imagination insists.
