Cover Reveal: Ulterior Designs by Ella Dominguez

April 28, 2016

 

 

 

Book one in a new-adult romance duet.

Warning: This book is designed for readers 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content.

A blueprint for desire.

With a shared passion for breathing life into an unconventional dream home, the attraction between a struggling new grad of interior design and an award-winning architect with eclectic sexual tastes is irresistible. But with a cloud of lies and loss hanging over him, the only arrangement Logan wants is one of indulgence and pleasure. However, fate seems to have another design plan in mind for them—a plan that ultimately leads them down a path of desire and discovery.

When the man obsessed with creating his unusual home sets his sights on the woman who keeps unknowingly navigating her way back to him, lust clouds his judgment and he makes an inappropriate proposition. After nearly blowing his chances with the talented and alluring beauty, he readjusts his plans, because it just so happens that his sexy ulterior motives go hand-in-hand with her expertise in interior design.

Though Chloe may be young and naïve in Logan’s eyes, she sees him for who and what he is: a man with severe commitment issues. But she’s optimistic—maybe too optimistic. And she isn’t easily deterred or scared away either, not even by the unusual nature of his design plans or his eclectic sexual tastes. In fact, she’s intrigued by them. Faced with a man who can give her not only the experience she needs to propel her career, but everything she’s ever fantasized about, she hopes that their physical and intellectual compatibility can prevail over his fears. And more importantly, that they can move forward to become not only design collaborators, but partners on a deeper level.

Re-Release Blitz + Excerpt: CHAPTER 8 (THE COMPLETE SERIES) by ELLA DOMINGUEZ

April 5, 2016

Chapter 8: The Complete Series

Grace Street and Return to Grace Street

Obsession, possession, resilience, insanity…

A need for absolute control and a past filled with lies and neglect have led FBI profiler Victor Laurenzo down a ruthless path. On a quest to satiate his sadistic desires, he submits unknowing victims to cold, calculated scenarios meant to push limits while testing the confines of immorality—all under the guise of studying his chapters for the betterment of law enforcement.

On the mend from a bad break-up and longing for attention, Elsa consents to an odd proposition. Initially unaware of Victor’s plans, she quickly realizes that the casual encounter she agreed to is, in fact, a cruel psychological game with no ending in sight. She may be one in a long line of test subjects for Victor; however, she can’t be broken so easily. What he puts her through only fuels the fire burning within her—a flame that begins to blaze out of control as she becomes obsessed with everything about Victor and peeling back his cruel layers in search of the real man hiding beneath his heartless facade. Stronger and far more resilient than any of Victor’s previous chapters, she is determined to make her own rules and flip the table on his selfish game to show him that beyond his darkness, there lies light.

Playing an erotic and twisted psychological game in which there are no winners and only chapters in a depraved case file, these two headstrong characters are no match for an unexpected bond that rises above the darkness, bends the rules of conventional romance, compromises principles, and forgives the unforgivable.

Though Victor and Elsa’s story may not contain hearts and flowers, it is still one of soul-searching passion and reckless love.

 

Warning: this is neither a conventional romance nor a traditional love story. This is not a fairy tale love story nor is it a BDSM romance. There are no hearts and flowers on the pages of this book. The heroine doesn’t always make wise choices and though I’ve tried to make her strong, she’s often times weak in the face of the fierce hero. The hero is not a knight in shining armor. He’s broken and frequently cruel, and what every woman in the real world should avoid. This is a story about facing the darkness within. The man written within the pages of this book is obsessive, possessive and broken, and he gets off on mind fucking his lovers. He’s an anti-hero with an abusive past who often times pushes too hard in his quest to win his own sick game.

What’s contained within this book is fiction—dark, depraved and decadent make-believe. Contains erotic elements, uncomfortable situations, and descriptions that may trigger past memories of abuse. Intended for readers 18+

Excerpt (copyright Ella Dominguez, 2016)

“Once you sign this, there’s no going back,” his gruff voice held a note of challenge as did the wistful expression on his face.

Elsa knew better. The make-shift contract in front of her was neither legal nor binding. Surely a man of Mr. Black’s intelligence knew that. Keeping her thoughts to herself, she nodded and attempted to take the pen from him. As if he had read her thoughts, he held the pen at bay once more.

“If you think you can back out of this agreement at any point, Ms. Cassidy, you couldn’t be more wrong. Though this piece of paper may not be legal in a court of law, I follow my own set of laws and rules, and I will hold you to this agreement regardless.”

She lowered her hand and placed it in her lap. There was a certainty in his voice—a kind of conviction that told her that nothing less than her all would be acceptable to him.

A loud ringing in her ears blocked out all sounds as she sat unmoving and gaping at him.

“For how long?” The words caught in her throat.

His pupils flared infinitesimally and his response came without hesitation. “Until I say otherwise.”

Suddenly Mr. Black’s simple rules didn’t seem so simple.

“Are you going to hurt me?” she finally found the courage to ask when he sat silently unresponsive.

“Everything done within these walls will be done with safety in mind. No irreparable physical damage will be caused.”

Mr. Black definitely had a way with words, but he didn’t answer her question. Not directly anyway, and the secret expression on his face told her he was holding something back. And what about her emotional well-being? Would there be irreparable damage caused to that?

A phrase Elsa had read once in an erotic book popped into her head and she asked, “So what you’re saying is: everything will be safe, sane and consensual?”

Victor clicked the pen several times, one side of his mouth twisting upward as he let out a short, breathy laugh. “Not exactly, but two out of three ain’t bad.”

Her eyes widened at his remark. Based on his previous statements, sane was apparently the one thing off the table.

When he held the pen out to her, it was as if he had wordlessly dared her to take the bait that he had laid out for her.

It was too easy for Elsa to get caught up in the way Mr. Black was looking at her. With her heartbeat throbbing in her ears, she took in the vision of him one last time before she made her final decision and signed her freedom away. His beauty was devastating, his shimmering green eyes devious and alluring, his deep-crimson mouth inviting, and his sweetly intoxicating musk overwhelming. The possibilities of the unknown, the danger-factor, and the intrigue of a captivating stranger were impossible for her to resist.

She lifted her hand and as it moved closer toward the pen, her limbs suddenly became heavy and warm. She pushed forward, impelled involuntarily by her own passion and curiosity. She was doing this.

With pen in hand, the tip touched the paper when a wicked thought crossed her mind. She glanced upward to meet Mr. Black’s gaze, and licked her lips purposefully.

“Are you sure you wouldn’t rather have my signature in blood?”

Grace Street: Seeking solitude and reprieve from her past failed relationships, Elsa begins her life anew in Richmond, hoping to find the change that she so desperately needs. Things are looking up for her, a new job, new friends… a fresh start.

But Victor has different plans for her. From the moment he heard her voice and set his eyes on Elsa, she became next on his to-do list; his Chapter 8. A well-known and respected criminal profiler, his mind is as dark as the people he hunts down. It takes one to know one, after all. Under the guise of making his subjects stronger, he intends to break Elsa down using everything in his arsenal, including pleasure, pain, humiliation, and things unspeakable. Everyone is fair game in his book and he discriminates against no one when he chooses his test subjects.

In Victor’s world, there is no such thing as happily ever after and Chapter 8 proves to be an infuriating challenger when she flips the tables on his selfish and twisted game, a game they both may end up losing their hearts and minds over.

Return to Grace Street: Victor tried to stay away; he couldn’t. He tried to start a new chapter and only wasted his time. He did his best to keep his demons at bay, but it proved to be an impossible task. Now Mr. Black is back to take what’s his and face-off with the one player who beat him at his own game.

Having moved past the heartbreak and physical torture that Mr. Black put her through, Elsa’s life is back on track. With a new love in her life and her future secure, she’s horrified and angry when he reappears, threatening his wrath if she doesn’t play his twisted game again. But despite being haunted by his dark, untold secrets, she’s a different woman now. Stronger than before and far more resilient. And more importantly, determined to make her own rules.

This time around, both participants are on equal ground. They will play with such passion and ferocity, their very existence is threatened because in their eyes, there can be only one winner and there is no conceding when your mental and physical freedom is at stake.

{NEW RELEASE & GIVEAWAY} CONTINENTAL LIFE (CONTINENTAL AFFAIR #3) by Ella Dominguez

July 6, 2014

Book 3 - High Resolution

Synopsis:

Warning: Written for mature and open-minded individuals. Contains detailed graphic sexual encounters, including oral & anal sex, bondage and discipline, and menage.

Having been only lovers, Bella and Xander must now become friends if their relationship is to endure the hardships of longevity. Before they can begin their new life together, they must also learn to accept each other for who they really are – in and out of the office and bedroom.

For Bella, being the fiance of a busy CEO is difficult enough, but being a full-time medical student as well, is even more challenging as she tries to find the time for her man and her education.

For Xander, living the life of a worldly CEO and being the fiancé of a hard-working medical student has its up and downs, too. But he’s no common CEO – he’s also a dominant and an instructor at a prestigious domestic discipline training center, something he’s finally forced to share with Bella, as well as all the feelings he had suppressed for so long.

Realizing that being a submissive to Mr. Pettifor 9-5 doesn’t compare to being his obedient partner 24/7, Bella thinks she has the perfect plan to strengthen their bond and to spend more time with her alpha male – to attend the school which Xander teaches at so that she learn exactly what he needs in a partner.

Submerged in the domestic discipline lifestyle, she’s forced to see the man she loves educating other women, something she wasn’t prepared for. Headstrong and tenacious, Bella refuses to quit even when she realizes she must be willing to be instructed by other men in order to achieve her goal of finishing the DD Program. But is she really ready for that? Xander doesn’t think so and he worries the training may harm rather than help their relationship.

As Bella and Xander struggle to find their way and make their unconventional relationship work, it seems everyone and everything is trying to come between them. And so their dance of push and pull begins as they both fight their way through their emotions and fear of the unknown.

Becoming Sir Deleted Scene

Ciara settled back, her body becoming limp in his arms as her eyes grew large and liquid. Sawyer’s eyes in return caught hers and held her gaze steady. When the muscles of his forearm hardened beneath her, she nearly sobbed out her response.
“Yes, you are my Master, and I am giving in to you. Completely. Fuck me, Master Morrison. Please, take all of me.”
“I will and I’ll start with your ass.” Eager to have the piece of her that Ciara had offered up so kindly, it took everything Sawyer had to temper his enthusiasm. “Are you ready for me?” he asked, gliding the hand that rested on the small of her back and underneath her down to her ass cheek.
A meek, barely noticeable smile curved the corners of her lips upward and she nodded. With her eyes focused on his, it was hard to miss the gleam of excitement shining in her deep-brown irises. Squeezing a cheek, Sawyer leaned down and nipped at her lace covered, hardened nipples.
He rose and lifted the fabric of her lingerie over her head, exposing her body to him. Sitting up on one elbow, he took in the vision of her splendid, lightly tanned body and curves, and doing as Sarah had suggested – burned the image into his memory for future enjoyment.
As his eyes roamed over her physique, the throb of his heartbeat could be felt in his cock. Just thinking about what was about to happen made his body ache with an intense urge. Gripping her waist, he gently flipped her over, bringing her pretty, small, round ass front and center. Ciara tucked her hands under her, resting them on the tops of her thighs and raised her bottom up high. Sawyer may have been an anal virgin, but he was no novice when it came to sex and a woman’s needs, and though no words were spoken as she peeked over her shoulder inviting him to take her, the message her body and eyes were sending left no room for doubt – she was his to do with what he wanted.
He reached for the lube and condom that Ciara had laid out on the bedside table for him to prepare for her taking. As much as he wanted to rip his own clothes off and lunge on her like a ferral animal, he paced his movements in order to prolong his and Ciara’s anticipation. He started by casually sliding his slacks off and slowly removing his shirt. When he was down to his briefs, he rubbed his palm over his rigid shaft, delighting in the quickening of her breath and the flare of her pupils. She wanted him just as much as he wanted her and he could feel her longing radiating off of her like a blue-hot flame being stoked by desire. Finally, he removed them and when he did, Ciara graced him with the kind of smile he would happily kill for again. Reaching for the condom, he ripped open the foil packet, pinched the tip of the wet skin and slid it over himself.
Next he held the tube of lubricant in his right hand while he straddled Ciara and showered her tattooed shoulder blades and spine with kisses. When just enough time had passed to warm the lube, he squeezed a liberal amount on his middle finger and rubbed it into her ass crack. Soft whimpers came from above and Ciara’s ass rose in the air further as he teased her puckered entrance and slowly inserted his finger, pushing it in as her muscles constricted and relaxed with each of his movements.
She pulled her hands out from underneath of her, grabbed a pillow and pushed it under her pelvis, bringing her rear-end even further up. Next she reached behind her and spread her cheeks for him. The sexy , skilled casualness of her actions was almost too much to take and Sawyer feared he would shoot his load before he had even gotten to the ultimate prize. Ciara looked over her shoulder once again and smiled as if she had read his thoughts and all he could do was return the smile she had given him.
Lifting an eyebrow, he asked, “Am I doing okay?”
A soft breathy giggle slipped past her lips as she flashed her teeth and licked her lips. “Oh, Master, you’re doing more than okay. I’m ready whenever you are.”
And with that, he rested the head of his cock on her opening and gently eased into her, inch by slow inch. The tightness caught Sawyer completely by surprise and he unexpectedly grunted when her ass contracted down onto him.
“I love that sound,” Ciara moaned out as she ground herself into Sawyer, taking all of him deeply. “Mmmmmaster…” she continued to groan lustily.
“And I love that sound,” he countered as he grabbed a hold of her waist and plunged deeper yet into her tight canal.
It was the sound of wicked bliss, the likes of which he would never get tired of hearing. God, how he loved being the reason for that sound. And her ass… God, how he loved being inside that forbidden place. Why had he been deprived of something so breathtakingly decadent? Why had he been denied the sweet indulgence of a woman’s ass when it was so clearly meant to be fucked? Watching Ciara’s pink hole clutch his cock as he slid in and out of her, Sawyer knew her ass would be his unraveling.
“Oh, hell, Angel…” he gritted his teeth as he continued to thrust in and out, knowing that he wouldn’t last much longer.
He tried to redirect his attention to a swirled pattern in the woodwork of the bed frame to prolong the deliciousness of Ciara’s perfectly fuckable rearend, but it was no use. The sensation of release was building hot and fast. Sensing Sawyer’s impending release, Ciara disengaged from him and quickly pulled the pillow out from beneath her. She lie on her back and tipped her pelvis upward, opening herself up to him once again.
“Just a little longer, Master… please…” she begged as she held her knees firmly against her chest.
Sawyer closed his eyes tightly and swallowed hard, trying to suppress the urge to come. Once back inside her, he began to thumb her clit vigorously while he pumped into her over and over. Ciara began to squirm and pant uncontrollably and as her orgasm descended on her, the muscles of her anus began to constrict almost painfully around Sawyer. His hand stilled against her pussy and without warning, his come pulsed out of him causing him to hiss through his teeth and throw his head back.
Collapsing onto the bed next to Ciara, he turned his head to see Ciara smiling bashfully at him and shaking her head.
“Well done, Master Morrison. I suspected there wasn’t anything I could teach you.”

Tattered Angel

To Isabel, my pussycat, from Dylan
A dancing angel in pale moonlight
She releases my sadistic fantasies, my thrill is her delight
Suspended high in the chains that set her free
She sways back and forth, reminded that she belongs to me
My needs are met with the flash of the leather
The pain I inflict binds us together
The bright pink of her flesh, the welt of her skin
I bring my hand up and strike her again
Sweaty golden hair falling in her face
Remnants of her clothing lying shredded, a heap of lace
When she submits completely
I carry her to our bed, her voice hushed, her eyes languorous and sleepy
My tattered angel rests, cradled in my embrace
She is a thing of beauty, talent and grace
She gives me that which I cannot rise above
Her body and soul, her undying love

SYNOPSIS:

Written for mature audiences and contains kinky graphic sexual encounters, profanity, bondage & discipline, loads of steamy verbosity, and an alpha male that’ll make you quiver, laugh and swoon.

Erotic, touching and humorous.

Arrogant, brutally honest and fond of bondage and discipline, Tucker McGrath demands respect in all aspects of his life. He is used to getting his way in all things and more importantly, getting and having his way with anyone that he wants. Married and divorced twice, the real estate mogul has as given up on love.

Enter Lilliana, a 30 something divorcee and dental hygienist. After inheriting a large tract of land and house from a close relative, she has relocated to an opulent area in Connecticut hoping to start her life anew, and leave her clingy ex-husband behind. Stubborn, opinionated, and impatient, she has no interest in selling her land to the money hungry vultures that have started sniffing around. She also has no interest in falling in love or being pursued by a certain attractive yet arrogant alpha male interested in her property.

Tucker, however, has other plans. Realizing that Lilliana is sitting on a real estate goldmine, he sets his sight on trying to obtain it at any cost. Even if it means deceiving her and buying his way into her heart. But Lilliana can’t be bought and Tucker gets more than he bargained for when she rebuffs his financial and sexual advances at every turn.

Their chemistry and physical attraction to one another is undeniable and Lilliana has a way of bringing out the best in the usually cold and austere Tucker. Just when things are heating up and Tucker starts to fall for Lilliana, she discovers where his true motivations lie, forcing her to seek sweet revenge the only way she knows how – by giving in to his every fantasy and toying with his emotions.

EXCERPT:

“What did you do to make that woman outside the dance studio so afraid of you?”
Did she really want to know? He had been holding back his true perversions for fear of scaring her away, but maybe she was ready now. He hoped she was. “Unspeakable things,” he answered.
Lilliana’s eyes rounded. “If by unspeakable you mean…”
Tucker covered her mouth with his index finger. “By unspeakable, I mean I’d rather not go into the details out of respect for her. Come with me. I want to show you something.”
Nervous apprehension settled in Tucker’s gut. Would she run? Tucker led Lilliana by the hand to a room on the east wing. Entering a small room, he turned the light on.
“This is the time-out room.”
Lilliana’s jaw gaped and her eyes scanned the select few pieces of equipment furnishing the space. Tucker was expecting the worst – a slap across the face, a blood-curdling scream, something…
“Why didn’t you show me this room before?” she asked, placing her hands on her hips.
Tucker stood silent, not really knowing the answer to her question.
“Do you really like doing this sort of thing?” Lilliana waved her hand around the room.
“That, I do.”
“So is this what you mean by unspeakable?”
“Yes.”
Lilliana raised her eyebrows and moved toward the odd looking wooden bed that contained a whipping cross on one end, a bed with a neck/wrist yoke, a cage on the bottom and an assortment of suspension points and padding. “If you’re embarrassed about your preferences, then why do you do it?”
“I’m not embarrassed about this. Is that what you think?”
“Why else would you keep it from me?”
Tucker had no real excuse except to say that he didn’t want to freak her out. “Because I’m discreet.”
Lilliana moved to a small spanking horse and ran her hand along the leather seat. Tucker wished he could be inside her head for just one minute to know what was going on inside that lively mind of hers. Next she moved to the only other piece of equipment, a swing hanging from the ceiling, and seated herself in it.
“So you’re not freaked out?”
“Does it look like I’m freaked out?”
No, it didn’t. In fact, it looked like she was intrigued. When her eyes moved around the room they stopped on a wall of ropes and belts. Her eyebrows pinched together.
“You told me you weren’t a sadist.”
Tucker couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m not. The things in this room are for disciplining purposes and pleasure.”
“Did you use all this stuff on your girlfriends?”
“Some of them. Every woman was different. Some liked it, most didn’t. The majority ran, but some stayed and played. Which are you going to be?”
Lilliana planted her feet on the floor and stopped the swing from swaying. “I haven’t decided yet,” she glared at Tucker defiantly.
“You say that as if the final decision is only yours to make, Lilly.”
Lilliana’s eyes were thoughtful and she paused before sitting up straighter.
“What is the purpose of a room like this, Tucker? What do you really want from me? No more innuendos and man-speak. I want to know, right now.”
“I want to control you and make you submit to who you truly are, Lilly. I’m not asking you to change who you are but to give into my will within these confines. In this room, in my bedroom, give in to me in all ways. When you do, pleasures untold await the both of us. Are you brave enough to do that?”

About the Author:

image

I’m a full-time mom, wifey, healthcare worker, and wanna be switch. I was born and raised in a sexually repressed, strict Christian household in the bible belt of the USA. This upbringing and repression contributed to my wicked imagination and writing has been my only outlet for my sexual fantasies. Finally at the ripe and sexually primed age of 40, I mustered up enough courage to share my naughty thoughts and put pen to paper. I sincerely hope to find my niche in writing erotica in all forms, be it romance or paranormal.

I don’t consider myself an author. I consider myself an avid reader above all else, and someone who simply writes the stories that the voices in my head tell me to.

The Art of Control (The Art of D/s Book 3) by Ella Dominguez

May 17, 2013

image

Warning: Written for mature audiences. Includes profanity, detailed
sexual encounters and mild BDSM.

Book 3 Synopsis:

“Having moved on from the terrible events of two months earlier, Dylan
and Isa try to move on with their lives. Things seem to be going well
as they grow into the roles of their unconventional D/s relationship,
each learning the give and take of power and pain, accepting and
giving love unconditionally, and respecting each other’s wants,
desires and need for control.

But Isa has been fighting with the demons of her past. Recurring
nightmares have begun to plague her and fear of the future overwhelms
her on a daily basis. Her desire for control and independence prevent
her from sharing her deepest fears with the man she loves, threatening
to drive a wedge between the couple.

With gentle yet stern prodding from her cherished Dom, Isa confides in
Dylan and their bond grows deeper. But their kinky fairy tale
existence is all too good to be true when Isabel’s father sets forth a
chain of events that will test their love and loyalty for each other,
and Isa is forced to decide which is more important – Dylan’s life or
her happily ever after.”

Review:
We see an immediate continuation of Isabel and Dylan’s story in The
Art of Control. Isa has developed in her progress as a submissive, and
Dylan’s feelings have only deepened for her:

“When her eyes met mine, I know without a doubt that I would do
anything for her, anything. She owns me, too, and there’s no denying
it.”

Dylan has to learn to become open and honest with Isabel and it is the
one thing that could drive a wedge between them. There is a lot of mayhem that develops around them, and they must be strong in order to survive all the craziness.

The alternating POV’s continue in Book 3 which made me feel totally connected with all of the characters. Dylan is sexy, funny, protective and tender and I love him as a character. I read this book slowly because I did not want it to end! Hopefully the author will develop one of the sexy characters in Book 3 (no spoilers!) because I want to read more of his story.

The Art of Domination (The Art of D/s Book 2) by Ella Dominguez

May 17, 2013

image

Book 2 Synopsis:
“Five months into their intensely physical and BDSM-laced
relationship, Dylan is ready to make a lifelong commitment to Isabel.
But Isabel has reservations and for good reason as Dylan has continued
to remain secretive and closed off about his past.

When someone from Dylan’s past makes an unwelcome appearance, he is
forced to confront his demons head on as he is threatened with
exposure about his sexual proclivities. More concerning is the threat
of exposure about how his parents’ death rests on his shoulders.
Forced into an awkward situation, Dylan must help the former lover and
ex-submissive who threatens to expose him, all while trying to keep it
a secret from Isa.

Dylan and Isa embark on a new journey as they take vows to never let
anything tear them apart, a journey that tests Isa’s physical and
mental limits as Dylan lets his true Dominant and sadistic nature out,
giving Isa more artistic inspiration than she ever thought possible.
But can Isa keep her own Dominant nature at bay long enough to allow
Dylan to fulfill his sadistic fantasies?

With Isa’s upcoming debut gallery show and just when things are
heating up, their relationship is threatened when Isa comes
face-to-face with Dylan’s past activities with his ex and a woman from
his past who won’t let him go.

To make matters worse, Isa’s father tries to force his way back into
her life and she finds out just how truly cruel he really is as his
secrets are revealed.

With everything that comes to light, can Isa stay true to her vows of
for better or worse?”

Warning: Written for mature audiences and includes profanity, graphic sexual encounters, moderate BDSM themes, total power exchange, and mild edgeplay. (Not for the faint of heart)

Review:
The Art of Domination (Book 2) continues Isa and Dylan’s story and delves deeper into their emotional and physical relationship.

“As for this ‘vanilla with a twist’ crap, how do we go about fixing
that?” – Isabel

These characters both carry a lot of baggage, and there are several times in the book that I thought the end was near. Dylan takes certain actions that are very frustrating, but both he and Isa really develop and grow in Book 2. The author continues to thrill us with some deliciously hot sex scenes:

“Yes, Sir, I do. I want what you want,” I say to him…I want this for
Dylan just as much as I want this for myself.”

Even though they are in a D/s relationship, Isabel comes to realize that Dylan also needs taking care of, and this realization adds flavor to the story. The author does a great job of introducing other characters, and exploring their backstories as well.

Along with the deliciously hot sex scenes, there are several unexpected plot twists that will surprise and thrill you. I’m glad I had The Art of Control (Book 3) to read immediately after finishing The Art of Domination!
