When
I wrote the sexy novella Make Me Stay, I never intended there to be more than
that book. It was a second chance story about a fun and sassy woman who knew
exactly what her man needed and how to give it to him.
Can the sub teach the Dom to play?
Natural submissive Gracie Miller thought she had found her other
half in Cade Jameson. Not only did he help her through a difficult time in her
life, in the bedroom he brought her more pleasure than she could have ever
imagined. They seemed perfect for each other.
Cade knew what he wanted in the bedroom. Gracie brought out his
domineering side and ignited his passion. But he feared he was too dominant for
this beautiful, naïve girl, who was so young and impressionable, so he ended
their relationship.
Two and a half years later, Gracie returns to town a new woman.
She had moved to the city and found a "Master" who showed her what
she was truly capable of. Now she's back and wants to show Cade exactly what
kind of submissive she could be for him.
But after hearing all that she's experienced, Cade now wonders if
he's dominant enough to satisfy her. Can he be the man Gracie needs him to be?

In Make Me Stay there was a secondary character
named Martin (he was the Dom who Gracie found in the city). He appears in one
chapter in that book but he took a hold of me and many readers. When I finished
writing MMS, I realized Martin’s story needed to be told. I had to give him a
happily ever after. Martin is probably one of the most captivating men I’ve
created. Here’s his introduction in Make Me Stay…
A soft knock at the cottage door pulled her
from her thoughts. Her heart fluttered with the possibility it could be Cade.
Maybe he was ready to talk. She ran to the door and quickly pulled it open,
never expecting to see him standing
on the other side. She stepped back and let him enter. As he turned to close
the door, she immediately dropped to her knees.
“Master,” she said. “I didn’t expect you.”
Gracie lowered her head and waited for
Martin to speak. Her heart pounded against her chest just from his close
proximity.
“Do you know how beautiful your submission
is?” Martin slowly walked around her. She didn’t have to see what he was doing.
She felt his presence and visualized him taking in her body. He gently stroked
his fingers over her neck, causing a chill to course through her entire system.
“As much as it pains me, you no longer wear my collar, so you shouldn’t be on
your knees.”
She looked up at him and smiled.
“Please.”
He extended his hand for her. Once she was on her feet he pulled her against
his strong, muscular chest, wrapping his arms around her. He placed a soft,
comforting kiss on the top of her head.

The
above scene was the very first piece I had written for MMS. It takes place
almost at the end of the book. That was also the first time I had ever started
a book at the end. It was that exchange between Martin and his former
submissive Gracie that Make Me Stay was built from. When it was time to tell
Martin’s story, I realized I was always meant to write a book for him.
Surrender
to Me picks up where Make Me Stay ends. It’s double the word count of MMS
because Martin had so much to say ;) Although it is the sequel both books stand
alone.
What happens when a Dominant falls for his not-so-submissive
attorney?
Martin Abrams, owner of Master M's BDSM club, has become
unfulfilled with his lifestyle. Ever since his sub, Gracie, left to marry her
true love, Martin has lost his way. Living the life of the head Dominant in his
circle isn't as appealing as it once was. Something seems to be missing.
Sassy lawyer Arianna Covington relocates to New York City after a
humiliating divorce. She's looking for a fresh start when she agrees to become
Martin's exclusive attorney. She's intrigued by his domineering personality and
wants to know why women kneel at his feet.
Their attraction is undeniable despite Ari's initial beliefs that
she will never submit to Martin's desires. But Martin is up for the challenge.
Arianna is more than he ever imagined in a woman. He vows to claim her heart,
with or without the games. Who will surrender first?
Featuring Cade and Gracie from Make Me Stay.
