Elijah
had watched Kayla for years, serving as a hidden protector for this beautiful
young woman—until the night an abusive boyfriend sought to do her harm. Afterwards, he knew that there could be no
hiding what had happened, and she would have to come with him whether she liked
it or not.
Try
as she might to convince herself that her eyes had deceived her, Kayla knew
that she had seen a giant wolf toss men about like ragdolls and then shift into
the human form of her neighbor Elijah.
Then, before she can even begin to process what she has seen, she finds
herself thrown over his shoulder and carried from her apartment against her
will.
In
spite of Elijah’s insistence that their flight from the city to a cabin deep in
the woods is for her own safety, Kayla attempts escape at every opportunity,
but she finds that he is more than prepared to compel her obedience and he will
not hesitate to spank her soundly when she makes it necessary. Worse, she soon learns that repeated defiance
will earn her a punishment far more shameful than just a bare bottom spanking.
As
the days pass, however, she begins to see in Elijah a kind of loving care and
concern that no man has ever shown her before.
Stranger still, as she stands before him naked and blushing, waiting to
be thoroughly chastised for disobeying him yet again, she begins to want him in
a way that is so fierce it terrifies her.
Elijah
swears to himself that he has taken Kayla only to keep her safe, but in his
heart he knows that is not true. His instinctual
need for her—the overpowering urge to claim her as his own—grows stronger with
every passing hour, and it is only a matter of time before he loses control and
takes her. But can he keep her safe from
those who would use her to get to him, and even if he can, can the primal lust
between them ever grow into an equally powerful love?

The stories turned out to be a lot like the rest of the world: the truths are both specific and universal.This is an opportunity to pioneer a new publishing platform that combines the best aspects of the traditional ones. Firstly, the anthology is in e-book format, which makes the collection available to anybody with a device and a hunger for good words, and also obviates the bricks-and-mortar costs of warehousing, subbing and delivery. Win-win.Secondly - and more importantly for making better writers out of the ones we have - it allows really decent, in-depth and expert editing by the omniscient Louis Greenberg - which is of paramount importance as well as a rare chance for younger writers, whose meaty but messy first drafts are often thrown to the public lions, but is often skimped on because it is expensive and because it takes time and because publishing is a business, not a...
