Take a peek below for the blurb and two excerpts from the book.
How can two Dominant men and a Mistress have a successful
BDSM relationship? It’s quite easy, providing one of them decides to submit.
Zane Reynolds believes he’s found the perfect submissive for
his brother and he but there’s a problem. Mistress Mercedes doesn't want to
submit to anyone. Zane hopes a bet will solve that issue, along with providing
the key to finally win, not only Mercedes submission, but also her heart.
Ash knows he isn't a good man for any woman to fall in love
with. He’s a paid mercenary, disillusioned with life and his ability to fit
into the civilized world. Zane insists he’s found the perfect woman for them to
share, the problem is, Mercedes has no idea Ash exists.
Mercedes has more to worry about than a wager where she plays
submissive to Zane for a week. She’s just become a serial killer’s new target
and met the man assigned to protect her, Zane’s twin, Ash Reynolds. Ash appears
as interested in her submission as Zane, but Mercedes isn't looking to be
shared.
Excerpt 1 - Switching Mercedes by Jan Graham
Her thoughts were interrupted by a commotion taking
place on the far side of the taped-off area of the house. The yellow tape began
to flap in the breeze, and officers tried to block access to the scene as a
Hercules of Scandinavian appearance barreled his way through their defenses.
Mercedes smiled when she heard her name.
“Where is she? Mercedes Harris-Shore, I demand to see
her now.” His command boomed out
for all to hear in a deep baritone that sent an erotic chill down her spine.
“Do you know him? Should I lock the ambulance doors or
tell him you’re over here? He seems really…terrifying. Is he your boyfriend or
something?”
She nearly lost track of the young ambulance officer’s
rapidly fired questions, too intrigued by the circus unfolding before them.
“Yes, he’s something alright.” Mercedes nearly laughed
at the terrified look on the medic’s face. “Oh, and don’t worry, we’re not in
any danger.”
Zane reminded her of a Viking. Tall with the broadest
shoulders of any man she knew. She watched as muscles rippled beneath the tight
black T-shirt he wore, as he swatted uniformed officers away like they were
flies. His shoulder-length blond hair, usually neatly combed, swung freely
around his face, his strong, square jaw set firm with dogged determination as he
worked his way to the front steps of the house, attempting to get inside.
“Would you like me to tell him you’re over here?” the
medic asked, an edge of concern in his tone as they watched Zane grab an officer
from the front line of defense, lifting him off his feet with
ease.
“Where. Is. She?” The larger-than-average uniformed
officer hung in the air like a rag doll at the mercy of a petulant
toddler.
“No, he’ll find me soon enough, he always does.”
Mercedes watched the action with delight. Not only was he divine to look at, but
he knew how to make her laugh. Even when he was being an infuriating jerk she
found him amusing. If he’d just stop being so dominantly determined she’d be his
submissive then he’d be the perfect man for her. After all, what woman wouldn’t
want a sexy bad-boy-Viking to come to her rescue? It was certainly better than
any puny Prince Charming or a clunky knight in shining armor.
“Put that officer down, Zane Reynolds, before one of my
guys shoots you.” Christian’s voice matched Zane’s for volume as he stepped
through the doorway and onto the veranda.
“Excellent, Christian Shore, just the man to give me the answers
I need.” Zane dropped the young policeman before walking toward her brother.
“Where is Mercedes?”
“Once you’ve assured yourself my sister is fine I want
you back over here explaining exactly how you found out she was here.” Christian
spoke in his don’t-fuck-with-me tone as he pointed toward the ambulance.
It didn’t appear Zane even heard what her brother said
because the moment their gazes met Zane stalked toward her, a deep frown
creasing his normally relaxed brow.
“Why are you in an ambulance—are you injured?” The
ambulance dipped under his weight as he climbed in beside her, meticulously
eyeing her for injuries.
“I’m fine. I got upset when I found out what happened to
Samantha, so Christian suggested I sit with the medic.” She glared over at the
young medic hoping he read the tell-this-guy-nothing look she flashed him. The
last thing she needed was for Zane to discover she’d fainted. She maintained a
case of show no weakness in relation to Zane, and Mercedes wanted to keep it
that way.
In less time than it took to blink, Mercedes found
herself perched on Zane’s lap, pressed firmly against his hard chest, his strong
arms wrapped around her like a protective shield. Her body warmed instantly,
unaware she’d been cold. Frazzled nerves calmed as she rested her head against
his chest listening to the steady rhythm of his heart. She wanted to wrap her
arms around him in return, resting in the cocoon of safety he’d covered her in,
but that wasn’t how they rolled and she knew it.
“Of course you were upset. Anyone would be under these
circumstances.” His rich, smooth voice and understanding words soothed her weary
nerves.
How did he know she needed him, that she wanted to be
held and comforted after all she’d witnessed today? How did he always know when
to show up, cheering her day, offering support, or annoying the shit out of her
then making her laugh? More importantly, why did she always push him away? Her
fingers rested on the leather belt at his waist. All she had to do was put her
arms around him, accepting the embrace. Then he blew it, like he always did.
Excerpt 2 - Switching Mercedes by Jan Graham
God she was adorable. He felt like he was a schoolboy
being given a good dressing down by an angry principal. If he was any way
inclined to that sort of thing he’d be hard as a rock by now. No wonder she was
considered the best professional Mistress in the city. Instead he grew hard for
other reasons. The black leather dress she wore fit her like a glove with the
zip front pushing her breasts together and up to show the most alluring
cleavage, like two soft pillow tops he wanted to bury his face in then bite just
for the pleasure of hearing her moan. Her thigh high boots allowed for only the
smallest peek of sheer nylon-covered flesh between boot top and dress hem. He
wanted to raise the hemline and see what lay
beneath.
She appeared to be on a roll, although he’d given up
listening to the barrage of insults she fired at his brother. If he was Zane,
which of course he wasn’t, he’d wait for her to calm herself, get the fact he’d
annoyed her off her chest, and then proceed. But he wasn’t Zane, and the one
inherent difference between the two of them was his brother was far more patient
with women, especially when they were upset. Ash, on the other hand, knew
exactly how to soothe this savage beast.
He casually butted out the cigar on the wall, pocketing
the extinguished two-thirds. After all, with trade embargos, Cubans were hard to
come by unless one visited the country, and he wouldn’t be back there for the
foreseeable future. He expected his target to step back when he pushed away from
the wall and stood upright, but she didn't. Too busy explaining how she was happy
with a casual sex arrangement and that was all a Neanderthal like Zane could
ever hope for. Too bad he wasn’t his brother. He’d probably reconsider what he
was about to do.
With lightening speed he reached out his arm and circled
her waist, pulling her toward him. A quick one-eighty-degree spin had her in the
shadows, back to the wall, surrounded by his larger
frame.
“Enough.” He covered her mouth with his in their second,
long overdue kiss, swallowing her fury and any objections she may have been
about to voice. She responded with a seductive moan as their tongues entwined.
He had her, and this time he wouldn’t let her go until she screamed his name.
Well, his brother’s name actually. Damn it, he should just tell
her.
All notions of confession were blown away when she
looped her arms around the back of his neck and pulled herself up onto his body,
her legs circling his waist. He clasped the globes of her ass in both hands and
assisted in repositioning her, standing taller and wedging her more tightly
between the brickwork and his body. He moved his hands in turn, repositioning
them under the leather of her dress, dragging it up as he cupped the bare flesh
of her ass cheeks. She was either commando or wearing a G-string. Knowing the
latter more likely to be true, he slid his fingers to the crease of her ass
until he found a thread of material. Following the thin trail of lace to the
wetness between her legs, he moved the lace aside, allowing his fingers to delve
between her lips before sliding effortlessly inside her… one…two…three.
As the third long digit pushed inside, Mercedes broke
the kiss, exhaling a breathless moan of pleasure, her cunt tightening around his
fingers.
“Fuck my fingers and come for me, baby.” He’d prefer to
have her come on his cock, but he refused to be caught with his pants down if
Bethany chose to
show up for their meeting.
“Not here, please, Zane.” Despite the request for a
change of venue, Mercedes thrust downward. Ash extended his thumb to rub over
her clit, resulting in another mewling of delight from his now totally aroused
and compliant little hellcat as she rode his fingers, driving them deep
inside.
“No one can see you, baby, I’ve got you covered.” Sweet
pussy juice spread over his hand as her cunt began to pulse around him in a
flurry of release. She pulled his hair and buried her face against his chest,
muffling the passionate cry as she came. “Again.”
This time he did the maneuvering of his fingers,
thrusting them deep and fast within her, quickly bringing her to another
climax.
“Please no more, not here. You know I don’t like public
displays.” Mercedes cupped his face between her hands and rested her forehead
against his. “I need you buried deep inside me, your skin against mine, but not
here.”
Not here, great.
“Your place or mine?” It was obvious Beth was a no-show,
so leaving the area didn’t matter. He’d contact her
later.
“Neither.” She lowered her legs and pushed away from
him, straightening her hem as she headed straight for the staff entry door. “The
perfect place is right inside. You have a lock on your office door so we won’t
be disturbed.”
Fuck, no. She was inside the club before he could
stop her. Zane was working tonight, which meant he needed to stay the hell out
of there, but instead he followed, hoping to drag her back into his arms and
change her mind before anyone found out Zane Reynolds had a doppelganger.
