and my own contribution to Love is …

A Capella

Love is… navigating the complications together.

After receiving upsetting news, rape survivor, Mac Wallis, hides her distress from her Dom because she is worried she is just one new piece of emotional baggage away from being dumped.

When Finn Taylor returns home unexpectedly for a surprise play session and discovers his submissive has been keeping secrets, he spends the day showing her how much she means to him.

The Doms of wind quintet, Dominant Cord, play hard together, both on stage, and in the dungeon. Mac and Finn’s story begins with One Gold Heart, but A Capella can be read on its own or at any point within the Dominant Cord series

Here’s a sneaky peek of the opening bar of A Capella:

“Freeze!”

Mac jumped up, determined not to panic as she dropped the large piece of cherry pie she was about to bite into back on the plate. She glanced over her shoulder and scooted as far away from the table as she dared, then dropped her robe to the floor, and spread her arms and legs wide. Damn that man and his dastardly, one-sided perversion of freeze tag. How did he always seem to catch her at the worst possible moments? Last time, she’d been just about to step into a nice hot bubble bath when he struck. He was supposed to be at Sully’s, and she’d been looking forward to pie-therapy since she’d opened that letter yesterday.
