Welcome to the Salacious Players Club—where the rules are simple and no desire is off limits.

Punchy, unputdownable...a must for every reader who likes their romances to walk on the wild side. - Sierra Simone, USA Today bestselling author, for Praise

She doesn't want to hurt him—she just wants to punish him...

Being the only female owner of the Salacious Players' Club, Maggie Anderson thought her life was hard enough. But as the club continued to grow, she felt more and more on the outskirts as the only one who didn't have a kink. Or so she thought...

When she takes a kink quiz on the club's new app and learns that she's a Domme, she realises that she might not be quite so vanilla after all. In fact, she's a lot more like her colleague, Emerson Grant, than she thought. There's just one problem—she doesn't know how to be a Domme. Or she didn't, until the app matched her with someone willing to learn. But he's too young. Too stubborn. Too good looking. And, to top it off, Emerson's son.

Beau Grant is a brat. And Maggie would hate that about him if she didn't love punishing him so much. Yet she's beginning to see that underneath his attitude, Beau is misunderstood, selfless, and in need of direction. But if it's mercy he's after, he'll have to earn it first.

She finally knows what she wants, and she's ready to take it.
