The Oath, Book 1: Bound is now available! BDSM/fantasy/paranormal

I am pleased to announce that book 1 in The Oath series, Bound, has been released by Freya's Bower! If you enjoy tales of magick, paranormal erotica, sex, BDSM and secret societies, this may be the book for you!

You can read more and/or purchase the book here: http://www.freyasbower.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=173

Genre: BDSM/Fantasy

Rating: Sizzling

Book Length: Sips

Price: $1.25

Blurb:

But the trials of the initiation challenge even the strongest of wills. Can Lila's transformation through erotic servitude bring her closer to fulfilling her dreams?

Bound: Lila begins to learn the importance of the oath she has sworn and what it means to be bound.

Excerpt:

Lila studied him with care. All she saw, with the black painted mask upon his face, were his intense, dark eyes that bored into her skull.

Nervous, she swallowed hard. No turning back.

The gentleman with the white gem grabbed her hair and yanked her head back. Lila sucked in her breath, unable to control the thrill that ran through her body at the rough gesture. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the black-gemmed male take hold of a rather elaborate flogger. From it hung numerous, long strands of thin black leather. With a sharp crack, it struck her side, and she winced. The sound reverberated in the small room. Lightheadedness filled her, and she surveyed her situation. Three men surrounded her and had her tied to what appeared to be two wooden planks in the form of a huge X, and this for the purpose of attaining self-knowledge?

I must be crazy.
