Today, I want to welcome Tara to my blog again with her new erotic romance, Submissive on The Run. She's also offering a giveaway!
The Story Behind the Book
Sometimes,
supporting characters take on a life of their own. After selflessly aiding in
the affairs of others, they sulk in the back of an author’s brain, broadcasting
their past, present, and future until surrender is nigh. Thus was the case with
Kim Tran, the intrepid dungeon monitor from Submissive on Display.
Unbeknownst to the heroine of the first book, Kim has some unfinished business
with the hero’s best friend (small world, I know). He insisted I give them a
chance to sort things out, and, being a Dom, he has a knack for getting his
way.
Submissive on the Run drags
me back to Las Vegas’s renowned Carnivore Club, a multi-author world first
penned by Kate Richards for Decadent Publishing’s 1Night Stand Series. This
interracial BDSM romance stars a feisty sub with a strong right hook, who must
contend with a spoilt rich boy determined to win her back. An ill-mannered cat
and Madam Eve’s matchmaking service unite them for a night of exhibitionistic
fun, which ends in a capture game and a scorching happily ever after.
To celebrate my
return to BDSM romance this year, I’m giving away a $15 gift card. To enter,

Submissive on the Run by Tara Quan
Obscene wealth
and a toxic family taught Joss Bradlee to care about no one. He moved through
life in a caustic shell, fending off gold-diggers with his sharp tongue and
abrasive personality. But a stubborn submissive saw past his nonchalant act,
and he fell hard and fast for a girl he didn’t deserve. When she accidentally
stumbled into the line of fire, he moved heaven and earth to protect her, even
if it meant letting her go. Ten months later, he ensures her safety and tracks
her down, finally ready to claim the one person that matters. The only
problem—she wants nothing to do with him.
On the run for
close to a year, Kim Tran receives a surprise call from the man who’d put her
life in danger. His family hired assassins to kill her, but he’s somehow
convinced they still had a chance. With their entire relationship built on a
lie, she resists the instinct to sprint straight into his arms. Faced with a
social divide no sane person would bridge, she cuts her losses and breaks her
own heart. But the Dominant she loves has other plans, and he’s spent his
entire life getting his way. Too late to run and with nowhere to hide, she
faces an adversary well versed in all her weaknesses.
At the
Carnivore Club, two exhibitionists meet for a battle of wills, lured by a
one-night stand service, misplaced cat, and several helping hands. With the aid
of handcuffs, disciplinary measures, and a capture game, a reluctant sub
rediscovers the pleasures of bondage, the thrill of display, and the ecstasy of
surrender.

Excerpt:
Thrilled and
terrified, she swallowed the lump in her throat. “We could get over each other
if we tried.”
Imprisoning her
with his arms, he trailed his nose down the line of her neck. “How’s that
working out for you? On my end, every hot chick I see has your face. One look
at your reflection, and bam—instant hard on. Our breather flopped.” He dipped
his head lower, scattering kisses along her collarbones. “I’m glad it’s done.”
“No.” Her
vision misted with pulses of crimson. She tried to summon an iota of
reluctance. Her libido refused to play ball. “We’re not doing this again.”
He bit the
sensitive spot between her shoulder and neck. “You don’t have a choice. I’m
calling the shots.”
His confidence
curled her toes. “What we had was less than a fling.” She poured what little
willpower she had into the false words.
He squeezed her
breast, the proprietary caress arching her back. “You’re going to pay for that
lie with a lot more than a hard spanking.”
Arousal flared,
potent and irresistible. “You have no right. I’m not your sub.” When he pinched
her nipples, flashes of heat threatened to melt away thought. “But there’s a
whole club full of women willing to play your games.”
“I’ve already chosen
mine.” She writhed when his grip tightened. In her moment of distraction, he
slid his hand under her skirt. With her underwear gone, he could shove his
fingers inside her without preamble.
“Joss….” It
hurt. In the best way.
He looped his
other arm around her. Caught in a vise, she had little recourse beyond a
whimpered protest. “I don’t want this.” But she did. Enough to erase the safe
word from her vocabulary.
“Dishonesty
seems to be a chronic problem.” He pressed down on her clit with his thumb and
screwed his digits deeper into her. Her clenching inner muscles supported his
observation. So did her uncontrollable spasms as his unyielding penetration
vaulted her toward a crest.
She dug her
nails into his forearms, a useless defense that only reinforced her
helplessness. “Stop it.”
He ignored her
resistance, playing her like an instrument until sweat once more coated her
skin. “Why? You’re more honest right after you come.”
