He was her master—he always would be—and she, his slave. These were the roles that had brought them together and made their love bloom.
But tonight, she was the one in ascendant, she, the one about to take charge… and wield her happy, loving power over her fiancé.

About Portia
Portia Da Costa is a Sunday Times bestselling British author of romance, erotic romance, and erotica, whose short stories and novels have been published in the UK and elsewhere since 1991. She loves creating stories about sexy, likeable people in steamy, scandalous situations and has written for various publishers over the years, including Black Lace, HQN, Spice Briefs, Samhain Publishing, Carina Press, and a good many others. Though her best-known titles are mainly contemporary erotic romance, she also enjoys writing super-hot Victorian historical romance and erotic paranormals.

Recently, her Black Lace contemporary erotic romance In Too Deep, reached Number Five in the Sunday Times paperback fiction chart with only books by E L James and Sylvia Day outselling her!
When Portia isn’t writing she’s usually to be found loafing around, watching television or reading the works of Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, or Stephen King. Sometimes all three at once, which can be confusing. She lives in the heart of West Yorkshire in the UK with her long-suffering husband and their four beloved cats: brother and sister Mork and Mindy, curmudgeonly but lovable Felix, and Monsieur Le Prince, a rescue cat from France.

Forbidden Treasures—Excerpt
When Alice Porter finds a chest full of vintage curiosa at an antique market, she little realizes how her discovery of the forgotten treasures of an Edwardian disciplinarian will change her life. The sexy hoard includes a punishment ledger and a well-used rattan cane, and the bygone items intrigue her husband Julian too. Sharing and experimenting with the writings and the wicked implement, the lovers begin a voyage of forbidden sensuality that shocks and thrills them both, revealing dark secrets from Julian’s past and bringing the two of them closer together than they’ve ever been before.
Excerpt:
“Old-fashioned methods have a lot to recommend them,” her husband went on, still fondling the menacing length of rattan. “What do you think, sweetheart?” He twirled it now, deftly and cleverly, as if the damned thing had been designed specifically for his fingertips.
“I think they probably worked… would work very well.” Alice could hardly believe she was speaking the words. She was effectively sealing her own fate at the hands of this exotic stranger who’d taken the place of her familiar, beloved husband. This stern, breathtaking man, both forbidding and temporarily forbidden to her.
“In that case…” Julian nodded significantly, still twirling the cane.
Oh God, it’s so hard! So thin! It’ll really hurt!
Her eyes locked with Julian’s, and they both looked down at the awesome object he was holding. It was such a plain thing yet latent with power.
“Oh no,” he said, surprising her by setting the cane to one side, “I think we’ll leave this little beauty for another time.”
Julian shrugged, and Alice thought she saw a trace of trepidation. Was he unsure? Did he have just the same uncertainty and lack of experience that she did? For a moment, she wondered about her husband’s past and his secret urges that he’d not shared with her thus far. Had he done this before, played these games with a former lover? Or was it his first time too? If it was, he was clearly a natural, and she trusted him despite her fluttering fear.
“I think we’ll start off with something a little simpler, eh? Come over here,” he said, patting his denim-clad knee.
Alice crept across to him and then paused a foot away, unable to look him in the eye anymore. He dazzled her, and at the same time, she felt a whole new persona settling over her too. She hung her head and studied her toes, feeling more penitent than she ever had in her life, a miscreant facing retribution in the full knowledge that she had been sinful enough to deserve it. She shook and bit back a moan when she felt her husband’s hands on the waistband of her jeans, unfastening the button, then whizzing down the zipper.
“And I think we’ll have a bit less of this sort of thing from now on.” With a little shrug of disapproval, he tugged at her jeans, then peeled them down her thighs. They were a snug fit, and they brought her skimpy knickers down with them, making her blush like fire. “I want to see you in pretty, feminine things a bit more often from now on. Skirts, slips, suspenders, nice, soft, womanly knickers, lacy thongs… You should be able to afford plenty of new lingerie if you stop buying so much useless rubbish.”
Without thinking, Alice clasped her hands over her pubic patch, but in a swift move, Julian snared her wrists and pulled her toward him
. “Now, now, no need to be so modest,” he said briskly. “You know I’ve seen all this plenty of times before. Let’s have you across my knee, shall we?”
You have done this before, haven’t you?
