About

Power was never something I stumbled into; I forged it.
As CEO Calla Black by day and the masked dominatrix known only as The Black Dahlia by night, I built a life that kept everyone at a distance. Control kept me safe. Rules kept me steady. And then James Carter Jr walked into my world with his slow Southern charm and a hunger that matched the darkness I thought I had buried. I could handle him. I convinced myself I could.
What I never expected was her.
Amiyah Patterson is soft in all the ways I never learned to be. She is sunshine and sweetness wrapped around sharp intuition. She sees me in ways that terrify me. She sees James, too, coaxing out the parts of him he tries to hide. Together they shift the ground beneath my feet, testing every rule I swore I would never break.
Desire becomes a living thing when the three of us collide. James offers submission wrapped in strength. Amiyah blooms under my touch and his. I find myself wanting both of them in ways that defy logic, craving the way they unravel me with hands, mouths, and loyalty.
But intimacy this deep comes with shadows. My past is a bruise that never fully healed. Their hearts carry wounds of their own. Loving one person is risky; loving two feels impossible. Still, I cannot walk away from the way they worship me, push me, challenge me, and anchor me when my walls start to crack.
Ascension is a sensual FMF why-choose romance set in the world of Winston Hills. It is steeped in BDSM energy with a sadistic dominatrix who refuses to bow, a Southern gentleman who aches to kneel, and a woman rediscovering her desire while learning she deserves to be chosen in every way.
Three hearts. One bond. No apologies. This is what it feels like to rise. Narrated in duet style.
