Constance Monroe knows the importance of balancing the good and bad in life. As a psychologist and a Mistress, she helps other people achieve what she can't seem to—find happiness. With a full patient schedule, a hectic home life taking care of a depressed paraplegic, and the fallout from neglecting her own needs, Connie is in trouble she can't talk her way out of.
The Masters of Avalon take matters into their own hands, determined not to let their friend slip into a place she can't come back from, but the Mistress is just as determined to handle things by herself, her own way, to keep her secrets safe.
When Thane Isaacson first lays eyes on the curvy Domme, she stirs something inside him. Given the opportunity to help the Masters on their quest to keep her safe from herself, there's no way he can say no. Wounded from an old accident, battle-scarred and wise beyond his years, Thane's familiar with the undercurrents of turmoil running under Connie's skin.
As their bond forms, and trust grows between them, can the Domme submit?

Alabama-born Anarchy might be able to hide her Southern accent, but she can't hide her feelings for Avalon's resident sadist.
Everyone, it seems, knows how much she loves Jasper, including the man himself, but that doesn't stop the pain of the axe falling on her dreams with a sharpened blade. It's only compounded when—apparently consumed by guilt for not encouraging her to stay away from him—Jasper asks a favor from the biggest Master in Avalon….
Jasper Fairfax is a complex man. Bred to be a killer, raised and trained by a monster, he's done a lot of bad things in his life. Things he doesn't like remembering, but can't let go. Sadism is ingrained within him, nurtured by his father, until it became part of him. Over the years, he's tried to be a better man, a good man.
Anarchy, his pretty kitten, is the bright light against his darkness. A beacon of hope for a man who believes himself destined to be alone like the monster he’s tried not to become. But what hope does a man deserve when extinguishing that light is his nature?
Letting her go is hard; letting her in is worse.
Especially when his past is no longer content to stay in the past.
