Dangerous Submission

Blurb:
British Agent Drake Steele
never thought when he was hired on at the Serious Organised Crime Agency that
his job would involve spanking a co-worker. But when the colleague is Lord
Robbie Covington, the sexy red-headed computer hacker for SOCA and MI-6, Drake
can't agree fast enough to pop Robbie's cherry and pull him into the sensual
world of BDSM.
Now they are caught up in a web of lies as they pose as
members of the jet-setting crowd. Drake and Robbie have to race against the
clock to stop a weapons haul that could threaten the safety of all Europe. As
their covers begin to fade and danger is closing in, protecting Robbie is
Drake’s most important task, but neither man is ready for the moment when their
hearts are put on the line.

Guest Post:
I’m inspired by many different people and experiences, both
in my fiction and in living my life. My parents shaped me to be a person who
followed my own path and not care what other people think of me. At times that
can be lonely and rough, especially when you’re taking hits but ultimately, you
stay true to yourself and become dependent on you. When you accomplish
something like writing a book and then get the story published, it’s very
gratifying.
Music inspires me, walking feeds my creativity and gives me
time to think of where to go next in my books. Sometimes a terrible situation
that crushes my heart might be the opening for a book. It’s a new starting
point in my hero’s life where he is going to make the best of this, just like I
will.
My inspiration for novels lies everywhere, from a shower in
a hotel bathroom to an article in a magazine. I keep my heart and my mind open
every second, because I never know when an idea might knock me over.
In June of 2012, it was a magazine article on Prague and a
trip to Gay Days that set off the inspiration for Dangerous Submission and
after all those elements slid into place, *BANG* the story was off and running.
Drake and Robbie fell into place in their world of leather and cuffs but slowly
they took the reins from me to tell their story.
I hope you enjoy it!
Excerpt:
He rushed to take the position,
but I grabbed his arm to stop him. “Unless I’ve ordered your silence, you will
respond to my commands and questions with ‘Sir’ or ‘Master Drake’ at the end,
so I know you understand me.”
“Yes, Sir.”
The respectful reply came
naturally, and it pleased me greatly. “Display.”
He dropped to his knees on the
linoleum, adjusting a little into the position I’d described. Once he was
settled, I moved his shoulder to straighten his back. “Close your eyes,” I
reminded him.
“Yes, Sir.” He swallowed and
obeyed.
“This is the position you will
wait in if I am readying equipment for a scene, or if I simply ask you to.
Submissives will stay like this to find their subspace, which is a state of
mind submissives experience, and they await a command from their masters.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Next position is ‘inspection.’
I use this to inspect you before punishing you or before a scene to check for
new marks. You would be naked for this, as I need to check every inch of you.
You’ll stand with your hands resting on the back of your neck and your feet
shoulder width apart. Make sure to remember to keep your gaze lowered and stay
quiet. Even if another dom speaks to you, keep your silence.”
As he stood, he opened his
eyes. “Shall I remove my clothes, Sir?” he asked.

I can see how inspiration can be found everywhere. There are some things or scenes of life you see when walking down the street that can just fit everything just right in your head for a story. lol..

I like that you say music inspires you - music really speaks to me as well. Do you ever have soundtracks to your books?
