At the heart of Victim Rights is Dooley's girlfriend Beth, whose loving presence is a constant reminder to keep on the straight and narrow, away from the unsavoury life and shady characters that peopled Dooley's past. But when rumours start to swirl about Beth's possible unfaithfulness, Dooley's world is pushed to the brink – and it's up to him to unravel the increasingly complex truth, or be overwhelmed by the poisonous rumours swirling around him. Norah McClintock's Dooley series is tautly and richly told. The stories explore the often dangerous urban world of today's teenagers. Far from being a role model, Ryan Dooley is much more – a character with layers of understanding of what's going on around him, a character who struggles to fight off the temptations that encroach so easily on him, a young man who above all is learning about loyalty and trying to do the right thing.

For an ordinary
twenty-two-year-old college student like Lana, the idea of being kidnapped from
Earth by aliens would have sounded absurd… until the day it happened. As Lana
quickly discovers, however, her abduction is not even the most alarming part of
her situation. To her shock, she soon learns that she is to be stripped naked
and sold as a slave to the highest bidder.
When she resists
the intimate, deeply humiliating procedures necessary to prepare her for the
auction, Lana merely earns herself a long, hard, bare-bottom spanking, but her
passionate defiance catches the attention of her captor and results in a change
in his plans. Instead of being sold, Lana will be given as a gift to Dante, the
region’s powerful king.
Dante makes it
abundantly clear that he will expect absolute obedience and that any
misbehavior will be dealt with sternly, yet in spite of everything Lana cannot
help feeling safe and cared for in the handsome ruler’s arms. Even when Dante’s
punishments leave her with flaming cheeks and a bottom sore from more than just
a spanking, it only sets her desire for him burning hotter.
But though
Dante’s dominant lovemaking brings her pleasure beyond anything she ever
imagined, Lana fears she may never be more than a plaything to him, and her
fears soon lead to rebellion. When an escape attempt goes awry and she is
captured by Dante’s most dangerous enemy, she is left to wonder if her master
cares for her enough to come to her rescue. Will the king risk everything to
reclaim what is his, and if he does bring his human girl home safe and sound,
can he find a way to teach Lana once and for all that she belongs to him
completely?
