Meet Damien Winter, Dominant and hero of Surrender to Fire (coming Feb 18 from Samhain Publishing). Like all good Doms, he’s got a wickedly creative mind. He was kind enough to stop by the blog today and give me his 5 favorite pervertibles.
“What’s that?” you ask?
Damien, evil Dom grin on his face, explains: “A pervertible is something incredibly innocent that can be used in naughty ways in the bedroom–or wherever you decide to play.”
Damien Winter’s 5 Favorite Pervertibles
1. Ice: As I taught Camille [Skylar: she’s the submissive who gives Damien a run for his money in Surrender to Fire], ice is for more than cooling your drinks. It can soothe bruised muscles, tease skin, and “torture” a sub when you’ve commanded her to stay still.
2. Novena candles: go for the white wax and you ARE going to research and practice on yourself first. But once you know what you’re doing, wax play is a cheap (messy though!) and fun part of your toy bag.
3. Tangerines: indulge all her senses. A blindfolded and bound sub is expecting impact play, not a juicy, tangy slice of citrus.
4. Putty knife: Cool the blade. Warm the blade. Drag the edge along her skin (be careful of the sharpness of the blade!). Smack her skin. This is a versatile tool for a creative Top.
5. Chains: anything metallic that can absorb hot/cold can be used in devious ways. For example, chill links in cold or hot water (test the chain’s temperature on your own skin first), then drape across a sub’s back.
I do feel obligated to include a caveat with all of this. Aside from the usual “Safe, sane, consensual” mandate that accompanies ALL kink play, you must research and practice (on yourself) and/or be trained by a more experienced player before trying something new. The least sexy thing in a scene is injury.
One scorching-hot lesson could leave her begging for more.
The Maison Chronicles, Book 3
Reeling from the double whammy of her Dom’s abandonment, and accusations of colluding with a plagiarizing author, all literary agent Camille Winter wants is some low-profile, drama-free quality time.
Just as she’s settling into a Maison Domine cabin with her to-be-read pile and a full slate of spa appointments, she finds herself sweet talked into playing topless assistant so some Dominant can run a BDSM educational demo.
Architect Damien Winter is on a relationship hiatus, so he focuses his dominant energies on teaching BDSM classes. A chance encounter in Maison’s parking lot with a woman who angrily insists she’s no sub—though every line of her body screams otherwise—turns shocking when she winds up as temporary replacement for his demonstration partner.
Damien is unprepared for the way her beautiful submission gets under his skin. And Camille never thought she’d fall, hard, for just the kind of man she’s sworn off. But when her ex’s vague threats turn serious, Damien fears he’s already lost the chance to claim her for his own.

This book contains a fiery woman burned one too many times and the Dom who entices her to submit to the heat between them.
