DOM-COM

An eager, curious new submissive shares a hot scene at a BDSM club with a jaded, experienced dom. Will they be able to keep their relationship professional when he turns out to be her new co-worker?

Rae Jensen is the human resources manager for Sugar, a dating app. Grant Bowman has mysteriously been hired as an executive consultant, but his role is secretly much deeper than that. Dorothy, who owns the company, is his neighbor, and she’s hired him to find the source of a data breach before an investors’ meeting. Grant and Rae are about as opposite as two people can be. He’s grumpy and focused, with commitment issues stemming from his mom’s serial marriages. She’s cheerful and chaotic, juggling work, family, and a confusing attraction to the sexy man she’s shocked to discover sharing her office the Monday morning after she met him at the kink club. But whoa, the attraction. The tension between these two is so hot that readers might not even notice how intentionally Anders drops lessons about consent and power exchange into the story. As the stakes grow higher between Rae and Grant, they decide to pursue a relationship that expires at the end of his contract with Sugar. Rounding out the tale is a cast of hilarious, lovable secondary characters who hopefully will merit their own books. In the end, this isn’t just a story about negotiating a sexual (or even romantic) relationship. It’s about Rae and Grant finding the agency to name and claim what they want. It’s about two people who have been deeply hurt learning to trust one another with their pleasure, and about the emotional intimacy and personal growth that comes from such vulnerability.

Come for the kink and spice, stay for the smart dialogue and relatable angst. This happy ending doesn’t disappoint.
