1001 Dark Nights
Master of
Freedon
By Cherise
Sinclair
Detective Atticus Ware gave up his beloved Idaho to start
again in the mountains of California, close to his imprisoned brother. He has a rewarding job and
friends, but the experienced Dominant wants more than the Do-Me submissives who
flock around him. He needs a woman who will give her heart as well as her
body.
Virginia, “Gin,” is damn good at her challenging career as a prison psychologist. However, one problem inmate is mired in misery and unable to overcome his guilt at causing a friend’s death.
To clear her mind, she joins a friend’s kinky backpacking excursion, planning to hide in her tent during the evening BDSM pursuits. But Atticus lures her into the activities. She’s read about BDSM, but submission under the hands of a powerful Dom is beyond anything she’d imagined. She doesn’t trust men, doesn’t want a relationship, and yet…wants more from him.
Finally, Atticus has found the woman he wants in his life. In his bed. In his cuffs. But she’s not only his brother’s therapist, but also works in a prison. How can he tolerate his woman walking into danger every single blasted day?
Gin knows she has no future with Atticus Ware, but still, hope is rising in her heart.

His eyes
narrowed as he assessed her face, her shoulders, her hands. “It does take a
high degree of trust to let someone bind you and suspend you. Maybe that’s why
I enjoy doing it so much.”
The mere
thought brought on the shivers. She felt her head shaking a no even as she
tried for a light tone. “I suppose the sex part is a side bennie?”
He didn’t
answer but a smile lightened his face.
This Dom
could get females anywhere he went. The knowledge made her feel even more
unsure of herself. She shoved aside the dismal attitude. She was pretty and
smart and nice, with a good figure. Educated. Held a job. She wouldn’t let
herself feel unworthy because her “date” for the night was past scorching on the
hotness scale.
Relationships
got corrupted when one party didn’t feel worthy. He—or she—would denigrate the
other to feel better, to assure himself that no one else would want his
significant other. She’d seen it often enough. One poor person—usually the
wife—ended up feeling like dog meat because her beloved cut her down all the
time.
Or, in
Gin’s case, she’d work her ass off to prove she was worthy.
“Interesting
thoughts going through your head.” Atticus drew her attention back with a touch
on her cheek.
“Uh, no.
Not really.” Under his level gaze, she blurted out, “I was reassuring myself I
wasn’t dog meat.”
His stare
of surprise made her laugh.
She might
as well say it. “You’re very hot, Detective Ware. I feel outclassed.”
“Thank
you.” His grin could stop traffic—especially if the drivers were female. “But,
you’re off base. There isn’t an unattached person in this place who doesn’t
envy me.” He stroked her hair for a second. “You’re beautiful, magnolia, but a
Dom wants more than merely physical attractions. You have kindness,
intelligence, and an unexpected sense of humor.” He bent and his lips against
her ear whispered, “And your willing surrender has a beauty I can’t explain.”
His words
left her breathless. “But…”
“Or did you
want to know that any Dom here would enjoy bending you over a hay bale.”
“Don’t be crude.” She considered thumping him
and decided against it.
Having to wear glasses in elementary school can scar a
person for life. Dubbed a nerd at an early age, Cherise Sinclair has been
trying to live up to the stereotype ever since. And what better way than being
an author?
