Sherri Hayes and Slave 4th Birthday Celebration


Four years ago on July 26th, Slave, the first book in Sherri Hayes' Bestselling Finding Anna Series hit the market.

Genre: BDSM Romance Series
Buy Links: Amazon | B&N | iBooks

Stephan has lived the lifestyle of a Dominant for five years. After several rebellious teenage years, it gave him the stability and control he had been seeking after his parent’s death.

As president of a not-for-profit foundation, he knows what his future holds and what he wants out of life. All that changes when a simple lunch with his college friend and Mentor, Darren, leads him to buying a slave.

Thrust into a situation he never thought he’d be in, Stephan can’t walk away. He is compelled to help this girl in the only way he knows how.

Brianna knows only one thing, she is a slave. She has nothing. She is nothing.

Can Stephan help Brianna realize that she is much more than just a Slave?

Readers Have Fallen In Love

Slave now has over 100 4 and 5 star ratings son Amazon.

"Slave was a very intense read for me, beautifully written, and left me wanting more." 
~In The Book

"Describing this read is simple- AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found every aspect of it to be so good. I couldn't put it down."
~AndreaAH


Finding Anna

Slave is the first book in Sherri's Finding Anna Series. A 4 book serial series that follows Brianna and Stephan through their journey.


"I talk to a lot of readers and the one thing they consistently say is that this is unlike anything they've ever read before. Some see the cover of Slave and assume it's a traditional slave/capture story. That couldn't be further from the truth. Slave, and the rest of Finding Anna, is about a young woman who has to figure out who she is and what she wants to do with her life after suffering through immense trauma. Finding Anna starts where all the other slave/capture stories end...with the rescue." ~Sherri Hayes




As Brianna comes to terms with the realization that she is no longer a slave, she must figure out what she wants for her life. Forgetting her past isn’t an option. It is an integral part of who she is now, and it will forever shape her view of life. The one thing she knows is that she cannot imagine her life without the man who saved her, but can she be what he needs? 


Stephan never imagined falling in love with the woman he rescued, but the thought of her no longer being part of his life is physically painful. The scars from her past continue to haunt her, and he is helpless to stop them. All he can do is try to help her work through the traumas of her past. Can he be everything she needs and help her move on?

The two must figure out how to navigate not only their relationship with each other, but also the outside world. A friend from Brianna’s past shows up where she least expects them, and Uncle Richard continues to enforce his well-meaning agenda to get Brianna more traditional help. As forces, both friend and foe, threaten to tear them apart, Stephan and Brianna have to navigate the turbulent waters and find what they need in each other.



For the last two months, Brianna has discovered something she never thought she would again. Hope. After the horror of being Ian’s slave for ten months, a fate she never imagined she’d escape, it feels as if she is living a dream. She has freedom she hadn’t expected to have again, and she wakes up every morning not fearing what the day will bring. There is also Stephan. The man who saved her from the daily torture she had to endure at the hands of Ian and his friends. The same man who makes her heart race with just the thought of him. Life is good.


Outside forces are determined to conspire against them, however. When Brianna’s father shows up on her doorstep, it sends her world spiraling out of control. He brings with him new information about how Brianna ended up in Ian’s clutches, but will it make a difference? Will Stephan be able to find a way to make Ian pay for all he made Brianna suffer? As Brianna and Stephan try to find out the truth, their relationship is tested. She is forced to face her past head on, and deal with the ugly reality of what happened to her. Will Stephan’s love be enough to see her through her newest challenge, or will the fragile trust they’ve built come crumbling down around them as the truth makes itself known. 



Brianna is lost for the fourth time in her life. Each time was unexpected, and each changed the course of her future. The first life-altering event occurred when her mother died, and she moved to Minnesota to live with her father.


The second was when she was kidnapped at the age of seventeen and forced to be a slave. She would never forget those ten months. Brianna thought her life was over.

Everything changed again the day Stephan steamrolled into her life and brought her home to live with him. She had no idea what to expect—what life with her new Master would hold. That first month with Stephan was, in some ways, more confusing than the prior ten. As a slave, she’d known her place. With Stephan everything was new and different. He’d given her freedom and so much more.

Five months after Stephan rescued her, Brianna once again finds her life flipped upside down.

In this fourth, and final, installment of Finding Anna, Brianna must unearth strength she never knew she possessed. Stephan can no longer protect her from the outside world. She must learn to trust herself, embrace who she is, and discover who she wants to be. Only by facing her demons can Brianna find true happiness and peace.

Sherri Hayes - Sensual Romance with Heart





Sherri spent most of her childhood detesting English class. It was one of her least favorite subjects because she never seemed to fit into the standard mold. She wasn't good at spelling, or following grammar rules, and outlines made her head spin. For that reason, Sherri never imagined becoming an author.


At the age of thirty, all of that changed. After getting frustrated with the direction a television show was taking two of its characters, Sherri decided to try her hand at writing an alternate ending, and give the characters their happily ever after. By the time the story finished, it was one of the top ten read stories on the site, and her readers were encouraging her to write more.


Eight years later, Sherri is the author of nine full-length novels, and two short stories. Writing has become a creative outlet that allows her to explore a wide range of emotions, while having fun taking her characters through all the twists and turns she can create. You can find a current list of all of Sherri’s books and sign up for her monthly newsletter at www.sherrihayesauthor.com

Burning For Her Kiss (Serpent's Kiss #1)


Beth Davenport has no interest in getting involved with another man for the foreseeable future. To say her last relationship ended in disaster would be a colossal understatement. The only reason she agrees to put in an appearance at Serpent’s Kiss, a private kink club in downtown St. Louis, is because her best friend, Nicole, won’t quit nagging her. When she walks in the door that night, the last thing she expects to do is meet a man who will have her reconsidering her ban on men.

As a captain with the St. Louis Fire Department, Drew Parker is used to being in charge. His crew relies on him to make sure they know what they’re doing and return home to their families after every shift. It isn’t, however, what he wants in a relationship. Drew decides to join Serpent’s Kiss to see if what appeals to him in fantasy is something he wants to explore in the real world. He’s also hoping that he’ll be lucky enough to meet a woman with whom he can explore his desires. The night Beth walks into the club, he is intrigued. Drew has to get to know her better.

After what happened to her, Beth is reluctant to get involved with Drew. It doesn’t matter that he is sweet and charming. She’s been burned before and Beth doesn’t think she can survive having her heart crushed again. Drew, however, won’t take no for an answer. He wants a relationship and is determined to chip away at her defenses until she relents. Will she give him a chance, or did her ex leave her with scars too deep to heal?

Red Zone (Daniels Brothers #2)


After a case ended badly for Rebecca Carson, she’s losing her mind sitting around her apartment waiting on her superiors to allow her to return to work. Since she was a teenager, the only thing she’d ever wanted was to join the FBI. Now that dream was in danger. 

Gage Daniels has made a pretty good life for himself. A nice house. A career he loves. As a professional football player, he’s used to getting almost everything he’d ever want with just the snap of his fingers. This includes women. A well-timed smile is usually all it takes to attract the opposite sex, especially in Nashville. 

When a stalker threatens Gage, the team owner calls an old friend, Rebecca’s ex-partner Travis Hansen, to help protect his star quarterback and find the person responsible. Hansen offers Rebecca the job, and she jumps at the chance. It’s work, and it will get her out of her apartment. How bad can it be?

Posing as Gage’s girlfriend, however, isn’t as easy as it seems. The man is relentless. Rebecca must work to protect Gage while staving off his advances. She’s there to do a job, nothing more. The last thing she wants is to be another notch on a hotshot athlete’s belt.

Tabitha McGowan and The Tied Man

Author Tabitha McGowan

The Tied Man



Summary:


Lilith Bresson, an independent, successful young artist, is forced to travel from her home in Spain to the wild borderlands of northern England, to repay her feckless father’s latest debt by painting a portrait of the enigmatic Lady Blaine Albermarle.

On her first night at Albermarle Hall she meets Finn Strachan, Blaine’s ‘companion’, a cultured and hauntingly beautiful young man who seems to have it all. But Lilith has an artist’s eye, and a gift for seeing what lies beneath the skin. She soon discovers that Blaine is more gaoler (jailer) than lover, and if the price is right, depravity has no limits.

As the weeks pass, Lilith finds that she too is drawn into the malign web that her patron has spun, yet against the odds she forges a strong friendship with the damaged, dysfunctional Finn. In a dark, modern twist to an age-old story, Lilith Bresson proves that sometimes it’s the princess who needs to become the rescuer.

Please note that this storyline contains depictions of drug abuse, violence and non-consensual sexual activity.



Excerpt from "The Tied Man"
(Note: A longer, more traditional excerpt may be found from the preview pages through Amazon.)

Lilith's Perspective...

Blaine: "You must be thinking I've gone mad—"

I didn't disagree.

"—I just feel that you should gain a deeper insight into the real philosophy of Albermarle."

I felt the adrenaline begin to tighten the muscles across my chest: I should have guessed that anything that involved my father's endorsement would possess some dark element.

"I operate an exclusive club here on the island, Lilith—one that you're fortunate to experience, and one that could bring you great benefit if you'll allow yourself the freedom."

The light in Blaine's eyes was positively evangelical now and she leaned towards me, one hand resting on my knee to suggest sorority. "I think you're about to find this extremely interesting."

I placed my untouched champagne on the table. "Blaine, I'm tired, confused and more than a little irritated. As I think I made perfectly clear, I don't consider myself to be a guest here. I'm a temporary employee, and perfectly happy to keep it that way." I went to stand. "And I don't play games."

"Then perhaps you should start. You see? There's that anger again. It never quite leaves you, does it? It just stays beneath the surface, driving you ever onward. Though with your past I'm hardly surprised. I'm sure I'd retain a certain fury with the world."

"This isn't a conversation I'm prepared to have right now."

"Lilith darling, I'm on your side here. I think the way you've been treated is appalling, and you have every right to defend yourself." She gave a knowing smile...

"What I want to say is that Albermarle can offer you a greater opportunity for release than most could ever dream. Why don't you come with me? It's for easier to experience than to explain." Blaine stood and reached out her hand to lead me back to the doorway.

No amount of honeyed words could have prepared me for what I saw. My earlier comment about dungeons was no longer funny, because that was exactly what Blaine Albermarle had constructed in the cellars of her warped fairytale home, complete with bare stone walls, a rack holding a selection whips and implements I didn't want to take a guess at, and a colossal bed that dominated the far end of the chamber

A massive black wooden Saint Andrew's cross was bolted to the opposite wall, and from its beautifully polished leather cuffs, forehead pressed to harsh stone and entirely naked, hung Finn."

Before I could run, Blaine stepped between me and the door. In her hand she held a heavy, hand-stitched crop. "Imagine, Lilith. Imagine what it's like to live out any fantasy you've ever had without fear or censure of discovery. He can be whoever you want him to be, and you can do whatever you like to him."

I could say nothing at all, and Blaine took this as permission to continue. "Try it." She pressed the crop into my hand. "You've been a very bad boy, haven't you, Finn? I'm sure Lilith is capable of teaching you an important lesson."

He slowly turned to face me, so his head was forced to one side of the smooth wood. The huge eyes that had sparked with a life beyond this place were dull and dilated. "I'm sorry, I really can't do this," I managed to whisper.

Blaine eased the whip from my clenched fingers. "First time nerves. Don't worry, you'll soon get the technique with those talented hands of yours. Let me show you." She raised the crop and brought it down with all her strength across Finn's exposed shoulders and I knew that this was no consensual role-play...

Lilith: "He doesn't want to be here, Blaine. I could see that the moment I met him. And as for last night…"

Blaine: "Ah, that. If it's any consolation, Finn gave his full consent to be here, and I have the contract to prove it. He may not enjoy everything that's asked of him, but that's the major draw. My clients are those who've grown tired of actors who merely posture their discomfort; I can offer them someone to play with who genuinely doesn't want to play along. Once you've had this experience, there's no going back to 'let's pretend.'"



Review by TinkNCognito


I truly wish there were more stars to give than 5. As the blurb indicates, this is a very dark, very disturbing book and it most definitely is! Read it when you are in a good place emotionally (always remembering it is fiction).

Lilith is a terrific, compassionate character. A bit of a wild child but once she gets to Albermarle Hall, she is rather quickly initiated into a dark, depraved world - one she never fathom existed. But she never loses who she is. She is amazingly strong, and completely non-judgmental when it comes to Finn, our other main character. She bucks the system and Blaine at every turn, which is fun to read. I truly adored her character and was rooting always for her to win.

Finn is a super complicated character. He largely grew up abused and uses drugs and alcohol to dull himself out so he isn't aware of what is always happening to him. But he is taken with Lili from the very beginning. He is a slave to Blaine and she uses him as currency, selling him to the highest bidder for whatever depravity they want to subject him to. But he has a heart of gold. Despite his despair throughout a lot of the book, he doesn't lose hope.

Blaine is the sadistic, mastermind behind the entire thing and the lady over Albermarle hall. She uses people's darkest desires to gain control over them. I truly hated her, which is what makes her such a well written character. Not often you despise a book character so much that you swear at them out loud but I did it more than once.

There are many other wonderfully complex characters. Henry and Gabriel and Nate as well as those in the depraved group but they are each well written, designed to be loved or hated in turn.

I started the book on a business trip and stayed up until all hours and rose early several days because I just couldn't put it down. I cried more than one time and cursed quite often too. As hard as the brutality is a large part of the time, the tender moments are so well done that they often broke my heart.

This is the first book and from what I understand, there will be another. I read a few reviews the complained about the ending but they may not have known there would be another book.

Be warned that this book truly is dark and twisted but well worth the read. It isn't for the faint at heart.



*Favorite Quotes*

"The momentary discomfort was nothing at all compared to the realization that she was finding refuge of my flawed embrace." ~Finn

"I don't expect you to be like them. Don't want you to be. It's that damn I want, it's you. From the moment we met, it's only been you." ~Lilith to Finn

Lilith: "What did you call me?" Finn: "Ah. A chuisle. Gaelic. 'My Darling.' I prefer the proper translation, mind you." Lilith: "Which is?" Finn: He gave the bashful smile. "My pulse."

Lilith: "It was the first time I had ever felt guilt and finding a man attractive."

Lilith: "Even at this ridiculous hour, and clad in a faded blue t-shirt and ancient pyjama pants, he look like something Michelangelo might reject for being too beautiful."

Finn: "In a fortnight Lilith had figured out more about me than anyone had ever cared to know, and I could only hope that she would hold it gently."

The follow up to this wonderful novel is due out later this year – The Tied Man Unbound

From Tabitha McGowan:

"Towards the end of the writing process I realized I couldn't write a simple epilogue to TTM, and I really felt there was a second story with the same protagonists, but a whole new plot. There will be two major locations - Spain, and Dublin - and an introduction to Finn's wider family, and also the horror that is the O'Halloran clan!

I really wanted to let Finn and Lilith grow and heal and discover, and learn to deal with the demons that they both still have.

Ultimately I love writing for both Finn and Lilith, and I wasn't quite ready to let the pair of them go *just* yet!"

About Tabitha McGowan:

"I was born in the north of England, and apart from a brief adventure in west Wales, I’ve lived here all my life; my hobbies therefore include bear-taming, wolf-whispering and wearing sleeveless tops in temperatures of -10 degrees.

I’ve been writing professionally for nearly 20 years, predominantly as a playwright. This gives me my love of strong dialogue; even now, I tend to develop my characters by talking to them. On a good day, they answer back.

The Tied Man is my first full-length novel. I needed to create a world where the female protagonist wasn’t some passive foil just waiting to be ‘completed’ by a good (or bad) man, and I wanted to explore the darkness; after all, some of the very best stories tend to hide there… Find me on Facebook for more whittering and ferret-updates." :D

July Spotlight Author and BoTM: Sherri Hayes' Finding Anna series

Every few months, on the discussion forum, we spotlight an author and do a book club reading of the his/her book(s).  We are excited to announce we will be placing Sherri Hayes in the Spotlight in July to look at her series Finding Anna, published at The Writers Coffee Shop. www.InnerGoddess.freeforums.org

I first met Sherri at the Texas Book Festival in October 2012.  A sixteen-year-old book festival, it was hosting an erotica symposium for the first time.  Under a big white tent, the cover of SLAVE caught my eye.  I enjoyed talking to Sherri very much and took my signed copy home to read.  I absolutely loved it!  I raved to all my friends. TinkNCognito also fell in love. Then book 2 came out, NEED, which was even better than the first one.  I had an instant new book boyfriend in Stephan.  And I can't wait for book 3 TRUTH to be released in July.

The premise:  

Brianna has been kidnapped (possibly sold) into sexual slavery.  Stephan, a rich philanthropist, rescues her.  However she is unable to function the simplest of tasks without orders from her Master.  Being a Dominant, Stephan steps into the role to provide her consistency and routine, a safe existence to relearn her own sense of self.   As the series continues, Brianna finds herself as Stephan finds out how she came to be in such a horrid existence. While he keeps sex off his agenda to gain her trust, the series is full of intimate scenes and sexual tension.

The author: 

 Sherri Hayes is the author of two series, erotic/romance Finding Anna and mystery/romance A Daniels Brothers (Behind Closed Doors and Red Zone), and the romance novel Hidden Threat.  Her
heroines start damaged, but find an inner strength to overcome and stand on their own feet.  Her heroes are strong alpha males driven to protect others, especially their women. Learn more about Sherri from the interview to be posted in the Spotlight in July.



Book Club:  

Join us on the forum as we read and talk about the Finding Anna series.  While you can join the discussions at any stage, we will be following this schedule.  Sherri will be stopping by from time to time to join us.
July 1-13: Book 1, Slave
July 14-23: Book 2, Need
July 24-31: Book 3, Truth

Note:  Truth releases on July 25, but we will have a fun day of predictions first.  We will also have a contest to win Truth.

Where to buy: 

 Sherri Hayes' books are found in all major formats.

The books are available at The Writer's Coffee Shop, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble

Praise for Slave:
"Slave is one of the most emotionally charged, mentally stimulating and body shattering romance novels I have ever read. It is so much more than a story about human trafficking, sexual slavery or BDSM; it is a tale full of redemption, kindness and hope." www.thesubclubbooks.com
