Fifty Shades of Domination
Author: Mistress Miranda
Publisher: Kings Road Publishing
ISBN: 1782197486
Category : Sadomasochists
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
"For Miranda, it all started as an eight-year old girl, struggling to come to terms with the trauma of discovering that her beloved 'mummy and daddy' were in fact her grandparents and her real mother was the woman she had always known as her elder sister. Miranda would go on to develop into a teenage 'wild-child', experimenting with sexual tastes that, from the start, involved her domination over her boyfriend. The bright but wilful teenager ended up leaving her grandparents home at just 16. Miranda was homeless, penniless and alone. A stint as a receptionist in a 'working-girls' flat yielded enough cash to begin scraping together her education, but Miranda soon realised that her own sexual tastes were well-suited to satisfy the vast demand of submissive men seeking out a dominant woman. In Fifty shades of domination, Miranda candidly and humorously relates tales from twenty years worth of men, women and couples who have visited her dungeon chambers for fetish fun. At turns erotic, funny and searingly honest, this is not a book about sex for money; this is the story of a life in fetish fashion, deep psychological role-playing and the repressed passions that lie just beneath the surface of us all." --Publisher description.

The Con Code
Author: Shana Silver
Publisher: Swoon Reads
ISBN: 1250266807
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
A teen forger and thief forms a criminal crew from her high school friends (and crush) to perform a series of heists leading to the location of her missing mother in this action-packed contemporary YA novel, The Con Code. By day, seventeen-year-old Fiona Spangler runs small cons for her ritzy prep-school classmates: getting them out of tests and forging fake hall passes. But by night, Fiona joins her dad on riskier heists: stealing back the clue-filled forgeries her mom scattered across the country before she disappeared. Fiona desperately hopes that her mother will be waiting at the end of the scavenger hunt she left behind. And they are SO close. Just three more heists remain, but then disaster strikes when Fiona’s dad is captured by the FBI. Desperate to finish the job and save what’s left of her family, Fiona assembles of crew of teen criminals: a master of disguise who can transform into anyone, a talented hacker who only communicates in glares, and a rival con artist with a vendetta against—and possible crush on—Fiona. All they have to do is perform three nearly impossible heists, solve her mother’s incredibly complex clues, and evade the FBI. Easy, right? Praise for Shana Silver's Mind Games: “An edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep readers guessing. The complex plot, the occasional twists, and the quick pacing make this a difficult read to put down.” —School Library Journal "It's a YA Michael Crichton novel, minus the 100-page master class intro on quantum mechanics, biotech, and string theory...Mind Games is an absolute blast. If you are a fan of Memento or Strange Days, this one's definitely for you!" —NPR

THE CHEAT CODE
Author: Misba
Publisher: Nomad's Forge
ISBN: 9843542827
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
After the terrible encounters with the war heroes, the Intuitionist is on the verge of breaking all promises she gave to her friends and her family. Worse: both the war heroes might become aware of her power—her intuition, for she is their shortcut, their cheat code. As the Monk looks into the Oldest Dance, he nearly discovers the first language of mankind, or perhaps, the first language on earth. It could take him to the Source, he believes. But he can't do that without the Devil's Book--the book that now belongs to the Mesmerizer. Soon enough, they realize that none may find what they seek unless they have the power to guess things right. Soon enough, they know who might be their Cheat Code to achieve it all. And thus, the Intuitionist fights the whispers of the ones with voice. Her purpose calls her, but she has her life to deal with--a life that is too trivial compared to the ones who want her home. And it's not easy when she must handle all promises she has made, not when the oldest dance of the universe whispers in her dreams and when the Devil's Book calls her still. In a world of voice where High Grades are too proud to lie, a promise made verbally is stronger than a red seal. So she must leave her mother's nest while keeping her promises, and in her journey, she must be aware of the whispers of the war heroes. What the Critiques and Reviewers are saying about it: "... A SLAP. NOT A WHIP. THE WHIP BELONGS TO TYRANTS AND MASTERS ..." "... DANGEROUSLY TRUE ..." " ... SCARILY PROPHETIC ..."
