Twenty-one-year-old Felicia is a college student working part-time as a professional Dominatrix. She came to the profession on the advice of an older Dominatrix. As a dominant female, she hopes to come to terms with a traumatic and humiliating event from her past. At just eighteen, she consented to a disciplinary paddling from her school principal. The ensuing media attention resulted in her being almost totally ostracized by her peers. She still suffers from PSTD and feels she's missing out on something she may be afraid to admit, even to herself... that is until one warm spring evening, when she accepts an "outcall" from a posh hotel not far from her apartment, she meets a "client" of the sort she never expected. Turns out, he never expected a girl like her! Two dominants in the same room? While it’s a practical joke, as their evening progresses, Felicia discovers that not all males calling themselves Dominants are cut from the same cloth. He suggests possibilities she's been missing and an aspect of her personality she may never have quite accepted, until tonight…

Workday friends. Nighttime lovers... A teeny-tiny crush. Maggie Drummond has one on her close friend Connor Grey. Unfortunately, he prefers leggy blondes and Maggie is stuck with her deep brown hair and determined curves. Then, there is her newfound pursuit of kinky—no, more adventurous sex. Nothing too bad, you understand. It was reading the steamy romance that sent her on a jaunt down Spanking Avenue and now she has set up an anonymous blog to explore her interest. Perhaps it’s best if she sticks with Greg, her current boyfriend. She can ask him to spank her…even if Connor pops into her fantasies like a seductive magical genie. The recent changes in Maggie don’t escape Connor’s notice. Now that her boyfriend has dropped her, and luck has gifted him with inside knowledge, he can finally—carefully—make his move. But, given his family history, laying a hand on any woman, even in fun, is a line he’s reluctant to cross. As Maggie gives in to the temptation to let Connor add spicy sin to her life, she finds herself juggling lies, half-truths, friendship and sensual delights. Her job is in jeopardy—and she’s falling in love. Exploring her fantasy is one thing, but she’s beginning to question if indulging her own pleasure is worth the cost to everyone around her. Warning: Contains a girl-next-door with spanking on her mind and a sexy rugby player who sees past her shyness and insecurities to the sensual possibilities beyond.
