Mother's Day: a brand new Club Indigo story and free books!
Hello everyone! How are you doing with all the lockdown, safer-at-home, and shelter in place orders? Without books, we’d have gone crazy by now!
New Release
We’re super excited about our latest book, Blinded. It’s an enemy-to-lovers medical romance novel featuring a Bakushi (comes from Kinbaku (rope bondage) and Shi (master)) who must go through great lengths to win over his jujun’na (submissive).
If you like the cover and want more, here’s our Trailer.
Excerpt
Sandra carried the coffee over to the table, and GT gave her time to settle on the couch. When she was seated, looking like a prim and proper debutante at the spring ball, he strode over. Instead of settling in the chair again, he sat on the couch beside her.
Sandra held her composure, but her smile faltered a fraction. “Umm … what … um … I,” she stumbled over the words.
Good to know I unsettle her as much as she does me. “I want to go over a limits list and expectations with you and I don’t think that’s a topic to discuss at arm’s length.”
“Umm, okay.”
“Okay yes, okay maybe, or okay I really don’t want to but I will?” GT asked for clarification.
She gave him a dark gaze.
“There’s the feisty woman I know.” He placed his hand on her nape and pulled her in for a long kiss. She couldn’t have looked more stunned if he’d told her he was quitting surgery to become a fitness instructor.
He let go of her mouth and her neck, working his hand through her hair and pulling out the elastic band that bound her ponytail. He ran his fingers through her silken hair several times and softly massaged her scalp. She looked at him, clearly not sure what to make of his behavior.
“Let’s start with safewords,” he said. “Do you want to use something other than red, yellow and green?”
“Traffic lights work fine for me.”
“Okay, let’s talk about limits, the first is easy.” He grinned as her finger landed on blindfold.
Sandra looked down and started laughing.
The next topic was bondage and Sandra consented to all of them. Then came the gags and she vetoed almost all.
“All the better,” GT told her. “I like to hear you moan and scream.”
Sandra looked down and her long hair fell forward and covered her face. With his index finger GT swept the hair back and behind her ear. “You can’t hide from me, baby.” Do you feel the attraction, too?
“What’s next on the list?”
He wanted to call her on her not so subtle diversion, but they needed to go over the limits. “Suspension bondage.”
“I’ve never tried it, but I’d like to.”
GT marked it as maybe. In the impact play section, Sandra left spanking, flogging and hair pulling as options and GT was pleased. He wasn’t a sadist and he couldn’t stomach hurting a woman.
You can find more details and can (pre-)order Blinded (Club Indigo Book Five).
As you know, we write Seasoned BDSM Romance with HEA from experience (and imagination). Our books are fiction, but the majority of the activities in the books stem from real-life events. We’re curious about you.

A. Only read about BDSM.
B. Active in the lifestyle.
C. Read about it and want to try.
If you’re C, don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter. Aside from information about our and other author’s books, we give lifestyle information and advice.
Mother’s Day Freebies
This month we’ve been working on a short story, “Laura’s Surprise.” If you’ve read our first book, Trapped, you might recognize the name! This book is free for our newsletter subscribers, and you can download it on Bookfunnel.
But there’s more. If you like free books and newsletters, check this out. Over two-hundred-fifty free stories or teasers from various authors. Some you might know already, but others may be new!
We plan on releasing our next book (United) in July. Until then, you can follow us and our progress here and in other places. Did you know we’re active on multiple social media sites?

Valentine's Day Surprise
The year 2020 is well on its way and we hope it’s going to be a great year for you all! 2019 has been a busy year for us and a wonderful one at that! Not only we've released four books with Blushing Books Publishers and met for the first time in person. We also started a newsletter, wrote a spin-off from the Club Indigo Series, a short story and are currently working on Club Indigo Book Five, featuring Sandra.
In December we released our latest Club Indigo book, Cherished. It’s our first age play book and features Sonja and Daddy Derek. The book is doing amazing on Amazon and has been in the Top 100 in interracial romance.
When you’re Trapped in a laundromat and are bored, you send a message to a Trusted friend, who Appreciated and Cherished your idea of writing a BDSM Romance with mature characters.
Currently, we’re working on the fifth story in the Club Indigo Series. It is an enemy to lovers’ story and takes us into a relationship between a Bakushi, a master in Japanese rope bondage and his jūjun'na (submissive) and we’re plotting book six, which is going to explore polyamory (consensual non-monogamy (CNM)).
We also have a finished manuscript that won’t be part of the Club Indigo Series, and we hope we can soon share what we’re going to do with that story.
We mentioned our new Newsletter and a short story, we have some exiting news about that. You can get the story for free! Only thing you have to do is signup for our Newsletter. Just click on the cover and you can sign up and claim your copy of Bound: Keeping His Valentine, A Stand-alone Club Indigo Short Story.
A hyperactive web-designer, who finds peace in bondage, longs for a relationship with her Rope Top, but he’s bound to another woman. When confronted with his disapproving family, she flees. Will she risk her life for his love?
Bookfunnel allows us to team up with other authors, check them out here.
