I promised Finn was going to make a comeback, didn’t I? Well she does in this new book, Finn the Devourer: Dominance. Now available exclusively on Spanking Romance for a (fairly long-ish) time! If you’re wondering whether Spanking Romance is worth it, let’s put it this way, for thirteen bucks a month, you’ll automatically get access to this newest Finn book, as well as Cry Assassin, Wicked Sisters, Master of Thieves, Orphan Ivy, Orphan Ivy II, Ace of Brats, and Captive Bride.

That’s EIGHT spanking romance novellas by me, not to mention novellas by other authors like Carolyn Faulkner, Mona Whitlock, Sullivan Clarke, Fiona Wilde and more. It’s a pretty damn good deal, and on top of it all, there’s a new novella from me available monthly! (Of course, if you wait long enough, all these titles will become available for individual purchase, but it is usually a year or more before a book is released from Spanking Romance onto the wider market, though there are occasional exceptions.) I’m hoping some of my earlier novellas from 2010 start trickling out soon, should be in the coming months.

But back to Finn for a moment:

In this, the fourth Finn the Devourer book, Finn has had some time to settle into her position as Domnia of the devourer coven, but all is not going smoothly for the powerful brat who does what she wants when she wants. After Finn almost exposes the secret of the existence of devourers to the human world, Leonard Chevalier issues a leadership challenge and Finn is forced to fight for her title against the lord who loves and spanks her.

Excerpt:

“No.” Leo intoned the word heavily. At first I thought he was disagreeing with me, then I realized he was marking the end of his patience with that solemn and final word.

He moved towards me slowly. Leo was capable of moving so fast that even to me, he was a blur. But he rarely used that speed. He slid towards me slowly, his eyes dark. It was far more intimidating than it would have been if he had merely grabbed me up as I knew he was capable of doing.

“Don’t touch me!” I hated the way my voice broke with a crackle of fear. Leo would never harm me, but he’d damn sure hurt me if I got too far out of line.

“Turn over and present yourself,” he said softly.

“Leo, no.”

“Turn over.” He swirled a finger at me.

With a sense of deep hopelessness and dread, I did as he bade me, switching over to my hands and knees. I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for the inevitable strike. It came swiftly, one brutally hard swat that sent me skidding forward towards the wall, my bottom flaring with pain.

I shrieked and burst into tears of shame, crumbling into the bed. I’d known once what it was to be weak, but it had been a long time since I’d truly been subject to harsh discipline and the sharp reminder shocked me.

Bundled into Leo’s arms, I curled up, hiding myself away from him. I didn’t want his comfort, even though his warmth surrounded me and was already leeching away the pain. “Don’t fight me, Finn,” Leo murmured against my hair. “Please don’t fight me.”

One of the more popular books I’ve written, Finn the Devourer is the tale of a bratty little vampire who turns out to be more than anyone imagined she could be. In the upcoming novella, working title ‘The Devourer Returns’ (which will probably change,) Finn is at the height of her powers as Domina of the Devourers. However as the old adage goes, power corrupts, and Finn is not immune. In an effort to save the Devourers, Finn, and the general populace Leo steps in. He forces Finn to step down as Domina, but she’s not going without a fight.

A little excerpt from the work in progress:

He looked at me, his handsome features weighted with sadness. “Finn, you need to step down for a time and rediscover what it was that made you Domina in the first place. You’re not serving the Devourers and you’re not serving yourself.”

It would have been less painful if he’d taken a knife and stabbed me with it. Leo was my mainstay, my port in the storm – but now he was the storm and I had no port. I scrambled backwards away from him, crossing my arms over my body in a motion of self protection. Trying to hide the emotions surging through me, I nodded blankly at him.

“I know you’re not going to like this, but it is necessary.”

He was patronizing me even more than usual and it incensed me. “Don’t fucking tell me what is and what is not necessary, you damn traitor,” I spat.

“No.” Leo intoned the word heavily. At first I thought he was disagreeing with me, then I realized he was marking the end of his patience with that solemn and final word.

He moved towards me slowly. Leo was capable of moving so fast that even to me, he was a blur. But he rarely used that speed. He slid towards me slowly, his eyes dark. It was far more intimidating than it would have been if he had merely grabbed me up as I knew he was capable of doing.

“Don’t touch me!” I hated the way my voice broke with a crackle of fear. Leo would never harm me, but he’d sure hurt me if I got too far out of line.

“Turn over and present yourself,” he said softly.

“Leo, no.” Pleading.

“Turn over.” He swirled a finger at me.

With a sense of deep hopelessness and dread, I did as he bade me, switching over to my hands and knees. I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for the inevitable strike. It came swift and hard, one brutally hard swat that sent me skidding forward towards the wall, my bottom flaring with pain.
