shoulder and kicked the door shut with his heel. They’d just returned from dinner with Damon’s parents, who were still in town and understandably worried about their recently widowed son. Only Marco’s assurances the he would stay with Damon had convinced

them it was okay for them to leave L.A. They’d promised to be back soon.

“My poor mom is so upset,” Damon muttered.

“She’ll be okay. They’re tough people.”

“I know. And they barely knew Emma.”

“It’s not Emma they’re grieving for,” Marco reminded Damon quietly. “It’s you.”

“Stop.”

Marco and Damon both jumped. “Damn it, woman,” Damon growled. “Don’t

sneak up on me.”

Tasha tossed a duffle onto the pile of luggage that was waiting by the garage

door. “Our flight leaves in less than three hours.”

“Flight? Where?” Marco asked.

“First Belize, then to Caye Caulker.”

“Why?” Marco said.

“Where?” Damon asked.

“We need to get away. And we need to do something that will take our minds off

of the past few weeks.”

“So we’re going snorkeling in the Caribbean?”

Tasha rolled her eyes. “Hardly. We’re going to a BDSM compound.” She kissed

Damon’s cheek. “I know you’ve hated not having any control over what’s been

happening, so I’m going to give you some control—plus I know how much you like being my Master.” She leaned into him, running her hands over his back.

Damon’s blood left his brain and pooled in his cock. Though they’d played their

share of bondage games, nothing had ever come close to those first nights at the club in Chicago, when they’d still been worried about a blackmail scheme.

“I, uh, have to…” Surely there was a reason they couldn’t just run off to a tropical island to have kinky sex.

“Your fake wife just died. You don’t have to be anywhere.” Tasha tucked his

passport into his pocket. “Ready?”

Marco hugged him and kissed his cheek. “Come on, Damon. We’ll drink, fish and

do dirty things to our pretty little slave girl.”

Tasha laughed. “Oh, did I forget to say that Masters are only allowed if they bring a slave?”

Marco stiffened. “I’m not going?”

“Oh you’re going.” Tasha plucked a collar from the top of the pile and tossed it to him. “As Damon’s other slave.”

Damon roared with laughter as Marco cursed. Tasha hustled them out the door

into a rental car. “You know what,” Damon said as they parked at the airport. “I actually like this plan.”

“I thought you might.” Tasha pulled on a black wig so she wouldn’t be recognized

as Natasha or Emma, and forced Marco and Damon to put on hats and sunglasses.

She kissed Damon deeply, then did the same to Marco. “I love you both. You saved me, the two of you. I wanted to tell you that.”

“We saved each other,” Damon said.

“We did,” Marco agreed. “I know this is going to be hard, but we’ll find a way.” He got out of the car. “Now let’s go do kinky, dangerous stuff.”

Elemental Pleasure: The Trinity Masters, Book One

There's power and passion in three.

When Carly Kenan joined the secretive Trinity Masters in college, she knew that

one day she'd have to pay the piper. That day has come. Returning to Boston, Carly meets former Marine Lance Glassco, a mathematician for DARPA, and Preston Kim, a

celebrated chemist. Though on the surface they have nothing in common, it's clear the Grand Master thinks that together the three of them can do something amazing. And

that's why he's declared that Carly, Lance and Preston must unite. In a ménage.

Tempers flare as they struggle to understand each other, but their physical

attraction is explosive, and the sex leaves all of them begging for more. Pushed beyond her limits, Carly runs from Lance and Preston. What she doesn't understand is that she now belongs to them, body and soul...and they belong to her, too. When Lance

uncovers a dangerous crime in Preston's firm, Carly is caught in the crossfire and the struggling lovers are forced to move beyond desire...to trust.

The Trinity Masters have the power to make careers and change lives, but

there's a price. All members know that the day will come when the Grand Master will select them, and pair them with two others. For the Trinity Masters the strongest bond isn't a pair, but a threesome.

Primal Passion: The Trinity Masters, Book Two

There's power and passion in three.

Deni Parker thinks she’s got it all figured out. Working on the cutting edge of

science, she has little time for anything but work. Luckily she doesn't have to bother with dating because she's a member of the Trinity Masters—a secret society that has not only helped her career, but which will identify the two people with whom she'll spend the rest of her life in an arranged ménage marriage. When her invitation to the introduction ceremony is delivered—years ahead of when she expected—by the very intimidating,

and far too handsome, Price Bennett, Deni’s more than a little unprepared.

Price didn't join the Trinity Masters to play messenger. As CEO of a major

security firm and heir to one of the largest fortunes in the world, he’s annoyed when the Grand Master orders him to transport the disorganized, virgin scientist to the ceremony to meet her partners. It's only when they arrive that Price realizes he isn't a mere messenger—he’s been matched with Deni.

FBI Agent Gunner Wells has been in love with Deni for years, but he’s resisted

pursuing her. When he arrives at his introduction ceremony, he's delighted to discover Deni is not only a member of the secret society, but one of his partners…along with billionaire playboy, Price Bennett.

Their strong personalities clash—in the bedroom and out of it—but Price and

Gunner have to put aside their overprotectiveness, and Deni must put aside her pride, when someone tries to stop her research—with deadly methods.

Scorching Desire: The Trinity Masters, Book Three

There's power and passion in three.

A reformed spy. A respectable lawyer. A renowned playboy.

When Damon Corzo is blackmailed it's not just his career that's in jeopardy, but

the Trinity Masters--America's oldest and most powerful secret society. He and fellow member Marco Polin, a world famous playboy musician, enjoy sharing women, a secret that until now they've kept quiet.

Tasha Kasharin, the reformed spy sent to help them, knows this is more than

simple blackmail. Marco and Damon's lives are in jeopardy. She ignores her

increasingly vivid fantasies about being part of a trinity with them until their investigation is interrupted by the Grand Master, who calls them to the altar and binds them in a menage marriage.

The men must trust their futures to the unexpectedly innocent woman who's now

their wife, while dealing with the change in their own relationship, and the complicated feelings that come with it. Blackmail escalates to violence, and they'll have to trust and accept one another if they're going to survive.
