BLURB:
Maon
Keefe has always been told he’s doomed to fail as a husband. He decides never
to marry instead focusing on living life as a player and becoming a capable
marshal of Tallav. When he is shot and the most-wanted criminal he’s escorting
escapes, he fears that his career, his one success in life, is doomed. Assigned
to ferret out the cause of missing shipments for a VIP aristocrat, he meets Selina
Shirley CEO of the House of Shirley. He finds himself inexplicably attracted to
her despite her frumpy appearance. When he meets a hooded and masked, scorching
hot Domme, Lasair, at his friend’s BDSM club, he’s torn between the two women.
Both fire his imagination and call to his submissive nature. Either might be
the woman to change him into successful husband material.
Selina Shirley organizes her life like she organizes her business, taking control of all aspects of each. She’s concluded that she must marry to get an heir and that her future husband must be totally submissive. Mentored by the sector’s most famous sadist, she learns what it takes to be a proper Domme. Then, hidden behind a hood and mask, as Lasair, she meets Maon and her instant attraction to his full submission at the BDSM club leads her to break her own rules and become involved with him. But he’s also the marshal assigned to investigate thefts at her company. When his broad streak of protective alpha male comes into play, it obvious he’s not a 24/7 submissive. To stick to her plan to marry the perfect husband, she must ignore her heart and dump Maon.

Excerpt One:
A couple, the woman tipping along in platform heels, were
cuddling and cooing while they walked toward Selina. She averted her face,
seeing but not really taking in the concourse bar she was approaching. Then her
gaze met a stranger’s, and for an interminable moment, his eyes ensnared hers.
She blinked, and the spell was broken. His lips moved in a smirk while he
continued to stare at her.
Damn playboy.
When she yanked her head away, the oversize art case slipped
down her arm, the strap tangling in her long dark hair. Rather than stop to fix
the problem, she kept walking while struggling to release the strands that were
pulling painfully on her scalp. Portfolio back in position, she sped up.
That man was the exact opposite of her ideal mate, although
he was Tallavan. The string tie he wore made his Tallavan citizenship a
possibility, but the badge clipped to his belt settled it. He was a Tallavan
marshal. Despite his tousled sandy-brown locks that were made to comb through
and pull, he wouldn’t make the cut on her very exacting list of requirements. Even
before he’d smirked at her, it was apparent he was a player. He’d been sitting
still on a bar stool, but swagger oozed from his pores. His navy-blue eyes were
full of a boldness that reached out to her and offered her more fun than she
could imagine.
What the heck are you thinking, Selina? He’s a snack and
nothing more.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Cailin has been writing fiction for five years and non-fiction for two
decades. Her non-fiction work has been published in magazines and in a
non-fiction anthology. She’s a member of Romance Writers of America, the RWA
Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal Chapter, and the RWA Passionate Ink Chapter.
Cailin likes to flip convention on its head,
creating a universe in which each planet is a study in different what ifs. What
would happen to alpha men on a matriarchal planet where the women are not
Dommes in the strictest sense but certainly have the attitude down pat? How
would society handle it if girls born on their new planet developed empathic
senses? Cailin throws her characters into these settings, heroes and heroines
whose kink is a major defining attribute of their personality.
