Are you ready to be obsessed?
Obsession releases on July 23 and I can't wait to bring you the story of Ellie and Rourke. Take a sneak peek below for an excerpt from Obsession. It's available for preorder now!
Ellie Taylor lives her erotic dreams by masquerading herself as Ariana and visiting the Black Phantom. In this club where anything goes, she plans to perform onstage before an audience, building her sexual excitement to a fever pitch before selecting her man.
But Ariana is distracted by a tall, blond masked maitre-d. He captivates her and all thoughts of performing vanish. He's every bit as domineering as Ariana and tests her sexual limit.
Their true identities concealed, they set out to use each other for pleasure--no risk of entanglement or commitment...but that may prove easier said than done.
Content Warning: Explicit sex/language, domination, light bondage and kink.

Obsession Sneak Peek
Ellie
A little over a week ago through underground channels, word reached Ellie Taylor that the Black Phantom’s Lost in Fantasy Affair was tonight.
Ellie knew she would be drawn out for some naughty fun masquerading herself as Ariana, her bolder alter ego. For a week Ellie, a highly paid and respected Senior Vice President of Beauty for an international department store chain, moved through her day job in a high state of erotic anticipation.
She felt like a child waiting for Christmas morning. The time seemed to crawl by and focusing on her tasks became a chore, but being a professional, she survived the wait on a knife edge of arousal. Her daytime persona paid the bills. A life which satisfied her for the most part and gave her a normalcy she craved. But no matter how hard Ellie tried to keep Ariana at bay, her mysterious night side craved to come out and play.
Thinking about what she might do as Ariana this evening at the Affair made her breath hitch a little more rapidly and her heart tango in her chest.
Finally, tonight is here.
Ellie sat before the mirror with an array of powders, blushes, lipsticks and brushes and Ariana slowly emerged under Ellie’s creative fingers. Ellie took a moment to sit back and gaze at her masterpiece. She watched her lips as they rested against the edge of the crystal goblet and sipped the delicious red wine. Creating the right mood for Ariana’s materialization was critical, and the ruby liquid along with the scented candles and dimmed lighting in her dressing room accomplished an ambience fitting for Ariana’s arrival.
Rourke
The maitre’d held his hand for her and Ariana placed her gloved one in his. She glanced at him, surprised by the strength in his fingers and how they curled around her own rather than lay flat as she expected they should. Normally she paid no mind to those working here but he caught her attention with that simple move.
From behind her lowered hood she assessed him. He was masked, as most were when here. Taller than her and very blond, she wondered if it was his natural color. The mask covered his eyes and nose so his features were obscured from her view with the exception of his mouth. His muscles strained the fabric of the well-fitting tuxedo. A shimmer of excitement shivered through Ariana.
His dark gaze caught hers. The smile that curved her own lips couldn’t have caught her more by surprise than if he’d tipped her back into a deep kiss. Her brief hesitation allowed her to regain her composure but not before he smiled in return, which showed lovely even white teeth below the mask. For the first time since she began coming to the Black Phantom this past year, her curiosity was piqued by another person. She would have to keep an eye on this fellow tonight.
He held her hand out before them and steered her across the highly polished oak floor, skirting the lower tables and their occupants. He ushered her up another bank of stairs to the middle level, moving a step behind as they mounted the stairway and his other hand fell to her waist. It pressed lightly over the organza cape, barely touching her, but close enough she felt his heat.
This man succeeded in distracting Ariana in a short period of time.
