Saturday Seven! (The Dom's Dungeon)

It's Saturday Seven!

THE DOM'S DUNGEON by Cherise Sinclair is a hot erotic romance. Again Ms Sinclair brings us an unconventional heroine, one with a phobia of locked doors and the ability to open them.

In the scene below MacKensie is fighting her horrifying past and trying to trust Alex...

Exciting.
When he pulled back and licked over her lips, she took a deep breath. The air felt as if the temperature in the building had been raised too high. Then coolness wafted over her chest. She stiffened, looking down. Her bustier lay open, lacing undone, her breasts exposed.
Alex's arm felt like iron under her back, and that hand still held her hair. Held her trapped. Without taking his eyes from hers, he curved a big hand around her breasts, his fingers hot against her skin. She inhaled sharply at the unexpectedly erotic sensations shooting through her as he caressed her. The surge of...of something inside her frightened her, and she grasped his wrist and ripped her gaze away from his.
"Look at me, MacKensie," he said, voice deepening. When her eyes returned to his, he smiled slightly. "Good girl. Now let go of me, or I'll restrain you."
"You wouldn't."
But his eyes didn't waver.
He would. She forced her fingers to release his wrist. "You promised. I'm not aroused," she whispered. Fear curled inside her to join with the unsettling tension, and an off temptation to let him continue, to have his hands...everywhere.

THE DOM'S DUNGEON
Foster child. Teenage whore. Now a veterinarian, MacKensie’s turned her life around, but the scars remain. She saves her affection for the animals who never judge or scorn her, but it’s time to get out, move on from her past in Iowa. So, she arranges a vacation exchange to job hunt in Seattle.
Although the house is lovely, one room is locked. Her years in foster care have given her two ‘gifts’: a neurosis about locked doors and the ability to open them. After she gets into the room, she’s appalled…and intrigued. Chains and manacles, whips and paddles, odd benches with straps…
When Alex returns home days early and finds MacKensie draped over the spanking bench in his locked dungeon, he’s furious. But her wariness arouses his protective nature and curiosity, so he strikes a deal to keep her close—she’ll act as his submissive in exchange for a place to stay and help finding a job.
He’d planned to use the veterinarian to deter an ex-girlfriend, not replace her, but with MacKensie’s compelling mixture of strength and vulnerability, the little sub slides right into his well-defended heart.
