Katya Waters is a small-town girl, mentally unprepared to deal with her deep, dark past. While walking in her sanctuary, her innocence was torn from her in the most brutal fashion- run to the ground as if she were an animal by a pack of vicious Hunters. After they wounded her spirit, they left her for dead. How does one overcome a debilitating, tragic event? By strength, perseverance, and an unrelenting will to survive. Out of desire, Katya no longer wanted to be the hunted. She hungered to be the hunter. Finally taking her life into her own hands, Katya reached for what she’d earned, for the respect every human being so rightfully deserves. By moving to a new city for the job of her dreams, Katya unwittingly brought her past nightmares to life, slowly drawing the repressed, dark memories into the light. With a deep desire to explore her true nature, Katya entered the BDSM Club, Restraint; never realizing there would be no escape from her secrets within the club’s walls. Katya’s entire existence turned into a living, breathing, never-ending therapy session from Hell. The Boss pulled Katya into a thrilling game of Kat & Mouse as a way to force Katya to accept the truth of her past. Follow Katya’s heartbreaking journey as she connected the mystery of her past with her thrilling present. … As long as I have a tomorrow, I can endure today. less

The orphan always walked alongside the man he was destined to shadow, enjoying the wealth, the indulgences, the influence, and the opportunities of the elite. Ezra Holden Zeitler was coddled, protected because he was the last of his family’s line. The heir would act out, and fearing Ezra’s tantrums and his mental illness, Cortez took the blame… the consequences… the punishments. From the outside looking in, Cortez is selfish, lazy, and untrustworthy. Cortez tries to scream the truth, but no one ever takes him seriously- never listens. “Ezra did it!” In actuality, Cort is brutally honest while his lips twist into a charming smirk and his eyes glisten with amusement. This life, this game, Ezra, has taken a toll on Cortez. The whipping boy only had one thing to call his own. It was inborn, a passion for words. The latest punishment rendered Cortez blocked, left to walk an endless abyss of an empty imagination. Without Cort’s ability to delve into his imaginary worlds, he was forced to live in reality. Lost… confused… Cortez Abernathy struggles to survive. One simple acknowledgement frees Cortez’s words. “Daddy.” The muse awakens from her long slumber and demands that Cortez go back to the beginning. Cortez Abernathy begins writing a memoir, The Hunter. As he pours his soul onto the pages, he begins to heal. No longer lost or confused, Cortez realizes he doesn’t have to walk in Ezra’s shadow. Whether beside Ezra or without Ezra, Cortez will survive. less

If reading this statement, then the Final Editions are not available as of yet* I embark on a journey of self-realization, redemption, and forgiving oneself… I’ve struggled since I was thirteen years old to keep myself even. I lost my innocence when I fractured. The childlike part of me was tainted while the dominant part of me overpowered my mind. I’ve lived in a constant state of tug-of-war. Some call me Master Ez, Dr. Lunatic, Son, Elder Holden, Dad, or husband. Until I integrated I couldn’t simply be called Ezra. Everyone struggles throughout life. I would know since I counsel a large majority. Imagine a life filled with financial, familial, and romantic problems, but compound that by fighting one’s own mind. Imagine having two halves dueling for control of your mind as you try to merge them into one, to give yourself peace. Mental illness makes the mundane seem trivial, doesn’t it? With great wealth comes an ease of freedom of choice but an even larger responsibility. I am responsible for all those around me: their happiness, their safety… their torment and punishment and ruination. Integrated, I finally recognize all the evil deeds I’ve committed in the name of my alters. I must come to terms with my actions, and for the first time ever, I need to accept the responsibility and the consequences. I’ve set my path of redemption. I’ve asked for forgiveness, and I cannot demand that my victims pardon me. Out of my control, their thoughts on my character are their own… now, a much more difficult task lies ahead… forgiving oneself. As if a newborn, raw and exposed, wounded and fragile, I must learn who this integrated person is that I don’t truly recognize. The last time I was whole was twenty years ago. I was a child, and now I am a man. You must learn to walk before you run… I must ask for forgiveness before I can forgive myself… and hopefully, I can learn who I was meant to be along the way. less

The sole reason eleven novels were taken off-sale, only to endure a four-year journey to rewrite the entire series from scratch, creating a solid foundation to support the 1000-page tome. In a city filled with hedonists, they need a Hero– Dominion, New York needs two. Katya Waters and Caleb Green learn two facts: Not all heroes wear capes, and evil lurks within your nearest and dearest. Caleb Green returns to Dominion after seventeen years in the military, only to realize he was safer in a warzone than in his hometown. All he’s ever wanted was to settle down with the fiery redhead from his vision, only to discover she’s not only already married to his childhood friend, but in serious danger from all directions. Taking on the role of protector, Caleb tries to keep the nexus safe from the storm itself. Katya Waters wasn’t raised in Dominion, but soon she discovers her ties run deeper than those who saw her as an interloper. Enemies are hidden beneath the guise of friend and family, while frenemies turn into the strongest allies. Discarded and broken, Katya tries to reform herself into the person she was always destined to become. The editor finds it hilariously ironic how she ends up starring in a real-life version of The Bodyguard, when everyone in Dominion felt she wasn’t important enough to treat with dignity or respect. After waiting five years, readers demand answers, and Erica Chilson delivers more than they could possibly imagine. less
