Tag: Unbreakable Bonds

****

The Generals’ house is full as Sam and Michael’s birthday (and other romantic surprises) approaches. Teagan’s visiting family is introduced to a world that’s quite different than their Kentucky horse ranch–one that contains miles of beautiful beaches, perfect weather, and a killer whale who has a mind of his own. The visit isn’t without its difficulties as Teagan’s over-critical father brings the young woman’s insecurities and pain to the surface. Seeing the love of his life in distress isn’t acceptable and Michael steps up to prove that he’s also her Knight in a shining Jag!

Little does anyone know that, as everyone enjoys the waves and warm sun, something terrible is happening deep in the trenches–and no one, except Sam, can fix it. Toxic waste and pollution settled in the canyons is threatening the survival of the endangered sharks, and the delicate balance of life. She’s called upon by the most unlikely source and dives headfirst into danger to answer a cry for help. Her compulsiveness not only lands her in a heap of trouble with her parents, but also with Ton. The orca’s fear for her safety results in his banning her from her ocean home and cutting her off from the pod. Feeling rejected and useless, Sam spirals into a dark, emotional place inside her mind–a place where the love of her family and Richard just isn’t enough to heal her brokeness. She needs acceptance, but can she trust them to embrace the truth of the changes happening inside of her?

As if the chaos of Teagan’s family isn’t enough, other factors enter Sam’s life that threaten to upset the precarious balance between her two worlds. With the talk of babies, Scott’s attraction to a certain colonel, an unwelcome invasion of distant relatives, and feeling responsible to protect the marine population, Sam finds herself cornered and trapped. Tired of being disciplined for acting true to her nature, she no longer knows where she belongs. Only one thing is clear- she can’t allow anyone, or anything, to suffer because of her, and makes a decision that demands a price that she knows will break her heart.

But nothing can break the bonds she shares with her family–both on land and in the sea. They teach her that, no matter how difficult life seems to be, they will be drawn together to unite under a common goal.

I’m a native Californian gone ‘wild’, and had the opportunity to travel the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable characters.

In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving. Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.

My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time, I’ve devoted my ‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.

I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled primarily from either personal experience or observation, including spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on ‘the real deal.’

I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear), and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John can’t find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.
