Dark Water Is Coming Soon
Ricochet
When the right one is all wrong!
Matt is a sub who longs to submit but can’t give up control. Rick is a dom who longs for love but won’t bed the same sub twice. There’s no way these two belong together – is there?
Matt and Rick are big stars on the hit TV show Collar Crime. As two of the most successful young actors in LA, they seem to have everything. Except love.
Their fiery love-hate relationship sends sparks flying on set, but neither of them is prepared to budge an inch in matters of the heart.
To uptight perfectionist Matt, chaotic bad boy Rick is the opposite of what a good dom should be. Drop-dead gorgeous Rick knows he can have any sub in town–why would he choose an obsessive control freak like Matt?
Haunted by past mistakes, Rick has sworn never to collar a sub of his own. But everything changes when Matt falls under the spell of a manipulative billionaire.
With time running out and a collaring ceremony looming, Rick faces an impossible choice: let Matt fall into the hands of a cruel master or finally confront the feelings he’s been running from all along.
In this steamy BDSM romance set in a world where everyone identifies as dom or sub, two stubborn hearts grapple with an unavoidable truth – that the right person might be one who is all wrong!
