Rude Awakening

Black Lace: the leading erotic imprint for women

They're written especially for women so will hit the right buttons.

Pamela Kyle is the author of Rude Awakening, available in both print and digital formats from Black Lace.

Alison is a control freak. There's nothing she enjoys more than swanning around her palatial home giving orders to her wealthy but masochistic husband and delighting in his humiliation. Her daily routine consists of shopping, dressing up and pursuing dark pleasures, along with her best friend, Belinda; that is until they are kidnapped and held to ransom. 
 
In the ensuing weeks both women are required to come to terms with their most secret selves. Stripped of their privileges and deprived of the luxury they are used to, they deal with their captivity in surprising and creative ways. For Alison, it is the catalyst to a whole new way of life.

At 28, Suzie Carlton is at the height of her journalistic career, working as a publishing editor. Discovering that her sexual self is essentially submissive, even a little masochistic, she embarks on a relationship which takes her to previously unknown heights of erotic pleasure.
