Bliss Cover

When you know you’re going to be late for an appointment with your Dom, you stow your tears, steel your nerves–and take whatever punishment you deserve.

Lydia Warlow, advertising exec who runs her office with an iron fist, learned long ago that the secret to surviving such a demanding career was to find her bliss. For some, it’s alcohol, others a solo weekend retreat to a cabin in the woods. But for Lydia, nothing relaxes her more than her Friday night sessions with Reid Jameson, gorgeous Dom-for-hire.

A tyrant in the workplace, but a submissive in the bedroom, Lydia looks forward to her weekly appointments more than anything. However, when an error made by her two assistants has her running almost an hour late, her heartrate spikes, her palms sweat, and her mouth goes dry.

Because if there’s one thing she knows for certain, it’s that you don’t break the rules. Punctuality is key with a Dom like Reid–and tonight, Lydia has committed a cardinal sin.

She must be disciplined accordingly.

BLISS is classified as a standalone erotic short story, part of the Erotic Short Shorts series. It features bondage and discipline (BDSM) play between two consenting partners, and may not be suitable for all readers.

Meet the Characters: Lor (Apollo’s Priestess)

Meet Lor, the intrepid heroine from the upcoming Lovers and Liars: Immortal Wars novella Apollo’s Priestess. Lor grew up as the daughter of a village priest. Her entire life revolved around maintaining the temple, tending to the animals, and observing the ancient rites necessary to please her patron god. Unfortunately, once she became the priestess of her village after her father’s death, things went from bad to worse. Lor was kidnapped and illegally sold into slavery by a band of marauders, men taking advantage of the religious strife in ancient Rome and using the dissent as an excuse to rob and plunder what they had hoped was a wealthy pagan temple.

The only real treasure inside, however, was Lor herself.

Before her kidnapping, Lor was naive, sweet, and obedient. After her kidnapping, however, her faith has been pushed the limits. She proves time and time again to be strong-willed, cunning, and intelligent enough to survive two long years at the hands of brutal masters. Her trust in people, in the gods, has been shaken, and it will take a great deal of patience and empathy from her future partner to penetrate her new icy exterior.

As a priestess of Apollo, Lor is extremely adept with a bow — as Apollo is the god of archery — and can construct her own weaponry and arrows. She had a knack for languages, speaking Latin and various Greek dialects fluently before her kidnapping, and after acquiring Dacian, Illyrian, and Thracian. She can also vaguely understand some of the barbarian Gaulish and Germanic languages, but she needs more practice.

More than anything, Lor longs for safety, security, and love again. She wants to feel like a person, not a thing, and awaits the day when her nightmare as an illegal slave will be over.

All she knows is that she no longer prays to the gods — and may never pray again.
