Bound by Contract

Black Lace - the leading erotic fiction imprint for women

Helena Ravenscroft is the author of Stand and Deliver, Bound by Contract and Sin.Net, available from Black Lace.

Samantha Bentley and her cousin Ross have been an illicit item for years. When Ross becomes involved with the submissive Dr. Louisa Richmond, Sam senses Ross's waning interest in her own volatile and domineering personality. She reads the classic novel Venus in Furs, which inspires her to experiment with being his slave for a month. 
 
Dr. Louisa is determined not to be left out, however, and when she shows up at Sam and Ross's country hideaway, there is a sudden shift in the rituals of power and punishment. Submitting to the sexual whims of others changes Samantha's idea of how far she's willing to go, and each cathartic act of humiliation pushes her further into the realms of liberation and pleasure.

Black Lace: the leading erotic imprint for women

An overbearing brother and a bullying husband have made Carrie unsure of her sexuality. All this changes when she discovers the steamy world of adult internet chat rooms. Assuming the name Dominique, she soon begins a number of X-rated, on-line liasons. 
Her attempts to juggle reality with her virtual life are complicated, however, by the advances of Max - a great bear of a man who won't take no for an answer - and by Sam, a young internet addict with a tempting line in lustful submission. And when she employs a sulky male house-slave with blond ringlets and a taut young bottom, Carrie is suddenly having more fun than ever before. Is it submission or strength that she truly desires in her partners, or can she blend all the admirable qualities of Dominique into her own personality?
