This book is a standalone, complete story. No Cliffhangers. HEA. Multiple POV.The Nevermore SeriesThis series is set in the mountain town of Nevermore, WY. The town has an obsession with Hockey and everyone who lives there is Kinky. You would think a small mountain town would be peaceful and drama free. But, it’s not. Love is never easy, and in Nevermore; Kinky love is harder still. And just like … still.
And just like my other books, there is, Kinky, Hot, — Well, you know.
It started with: “I hate you.”
It moved to; “— me harder!”
Will it all end in flames?
Taylor was a normal vanilla girl. So, when she was forced to stay in the kinky town of Nevermore it was a nightmare come to life — Until she laid her eyes on Marcus. He had pitch black hair, emerald green eyes, and a body built for sin. The problem? He was a Dom and she wasn’t a sub. He also hated her with a burning passion.
Marcus was in lust from the first glance. Then when he found out Taylor was there to spy on them; Lust burned to ashes and turned to distrust and hate. He knew he should stay away from her, but at every turn, this sweet temptation was thrust into his arms. He knew he should fight. But should he fight to keep her? Or keep her away?
Although it is standalone, it is Book Two of the Nevermore Series. Each book within this series is standalone, with no cliffhangers and can be read in any order. But, it is recommended that you read from ‘One’ onwards as characters in earlier books are mentioned in later books and knowing their backstories will add to your reading experience and enjoyment.
All books are quick love and HEA.
Due to the content, this book is intended for adults 18 years and older.

Wonderful, very well written & plotted erotic romance, with steam, a suspenseful & potentially life threatening mystery & completely engaging characters.
Marcus (H) is a Dominant, Lead Firefighter & player on the town Ice Hockey team in the town of Nevermore, WY He & the Fire Department as well as Law Enforcement are working relentlessly to find & apprehend a serial arsonist setting devastating forest fires.
Taylor (h) is a non-confrontational PA to the tight fisted aggressive money hungry businessman who owns the land on which the fires are being set. Enraged at the loss of logging revenue he orders Taylor to Nevermore to report to him about the efforts of Nevermore’s fire & police departments to ensure they ARE trying their utmost to find the arsonist.
Against her better judgement, Taylor goes to Nevermore, not sure what she can do when she has no knowledge of forestry, law enforcement or criminals. Oh, & she’s VERY nervous & concerned about the reputation of the town for BDSM. Something she has no history or knowledge of, other than one VERY brief & frightening peek on a website.
There wasn’t anything about this book I didn’t actively enjoy &/or love. The writing (IMO) flows smoothly, I was able to settle into the plot immediately, the author never ‘jerks’ the reader during the story but keeps one chapter segueing to the next in a perfect transition. The character POV switches from Marcus to Taylor so the reader understands the goals, insecurities, reasons behind the decisions the characters make or why they do the things they do. The reader strongly feels for both Marcus & Taylor, I wanted to nudge Taylor forward, to see Marcus WAS the man of HER dreams. I wanted Marcus to continue being who he was: strong, loving, supportive & focused on helping Taylor realize SHE was the woman of HIS dreams.
Marcus & Taylor are very likable & engaging characters, after a mildly rocky start, both of them realize they need to apologize (I love that: BOTH of them) to the other & attempt a redo. Neither of them are mean or mean spirited, Marcus is loyal to his profession, coworkers, town & friends & is instantly attracted to the shy curvy little blonde new to their town. Taylor doesn’t realize her nonconfrontational personality & shyness (especially around Marcus) indicate she’s a natural sub which ignites the Dominant in Marcus’ interest.
But their budding romance has a big problem, Marcus *must* have a D/s relationship & Taylor is as vanilla as they come. But Marcus carefully & gently introduces Taylor to the erotic delights of D/s in the bedroom & hopes to release her ‘inner sub’. But Taylor has a lot of confused & incorrect preconceptions to overcome & is wary of embracing the lifestyle. . . .
Combine this romantic conundrum with a serial arsonist on the loose & Ice Hockey there is a wonderfully satisfying & pleasing balanced mix of steam, romance, action, suspense & danger. Characters from the 1st book in the series ‘ECHOES’, Ryan, Lilly, Carter, Zach & others make a welcome appearance & strive in their own loving ways to help Marcus & Taylor try to find their HEA together.
An excellent erotic romance book I recommend without hesitation.
