Bound by Lust: Romantic Stories of Submission and Sensuality

Imagine finding a partner who is just as ravenous and uninhibited as you are. Bound by Lust, curated by libidinous leximaven Shanna Germain, is a heady combination of sweet and sexy, dirty and romantic. In Alana Noël Voth's "Marcelle," a man finds more than his heart's desire in the acceptance of the woman he loves, while the characters in Sommer Marsden's "Reclaiming Spring" discover that dominance and submission help them reclaim their marriage. For the artist in Kristina Wright's "Brushstrokes," the safety of love gives voice to her deepest desires. The BDSM within these pages is naughty and nice — bondage, spanking, domination, pain and pleasure. Bring on the love and leather, along with the dungeons and dens.
