In this erotic tale of sensuality and suspense, Sidney Bristol proves that desire can be the most dangerous drug of all.
DEA Special Agent Damien Moana works hard and plays even harder. But while indulging in forbidden temptations at a private BDSM retreat, the unexpected happens: He falls under a stranger’s spell. This woman drives Damien to distraction, pushing him to the sweet boundary between pain and pleasure. When duty interrupts their heated encounter, his focus turns to catching a criminal . . . but his head is still with the seductress who ignites his deepest desires. Now Damien must choose between closing the case of his career and losing the woman of his dreams.
Poppy Mercer can’t forget the night she spent with her mystery lover. When chance brings them back together, she seizes the opportunity to again feel his masterful hands on her body. Poppy is a switch who delights in dominating a powerful man . . . and submitting to the ecstasy of his control. Outside the bedroom, however, she questions her place in Damien’s world. His obsession with hunting a ruthless drug lord puts Poppy in the line of fire. And though Damien might be able to save her from danger, salvaging what’s left of her trust is another matter.
Committed is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

TSRBR's Review
Overall Rating: 4 Rockin’ ★★★★
From the moment Damien Moana spied the beautiful woman across the room he knew he needed to be up close and personal with her. They were at a private weekend retreat for the BDSM community where anyone could partner up with whomever they pleased. Damien was determined to get her attention and have some playtime with the woman. She reminded him of Rapunzel with her petite size and long golden blonde hair. This affair was very discreet and names would not be exchanged only play. In Damien’s line of word as a DEA Agent it was important to keep his personal and professional life separate.
Poppy is looking for an adventure and hopes that she will find it at the weekend event she is attending. When a beautiful man approaches her and indicates his interest in playing, she thinks she is in heaven. Especially when he calls her Rapunzel everything just melts inside and makes her want to claim him as her own. Even when she explains that she is a switch, he is still interested. Poppy can tell that he is a true dominate and can’t believe that he would be willing to let her top him. They discuss limits and plan how to meet each other’s needs. Everything is wonderful and Damien makes Poppy fly but when he called away on an important case without taking time to explain the situation, Poppy thinks he may not be the one for her after all. Even though she is broken by the way he left her, she still cannot stop thinking about the time they were together.
When Damien completes the assignment and returns to find out how his Rapunzel is, it’s to find her gone and no way to locate her. He doesn’t have her real name and is desperate to locate her. He has not been able to stop thinking about her since the first moment he say her. Damien is sent into a high school to do a drug program and check on some possible students that are pushing drugs. When one of the suspects tries to flee, Damien chases him into the school library and comes face to face with his Rapunzel. She wants nothing to do with him and he can see how hurt she is because of the way he left her. Damien still tries to explain and apologize to her so that can start over but she wants none of that. At least now he knows her name and where she works. Can Damien convince her to try again? Will they find a way to be together and overcome the evil that is shadowing Damien?

EXCERPT (from Chapter Three)
*Please note that this excerpt contains some explicit content.
The urge to stay there, kissing her until she screamed for more, held appeal, but she hadn’t come for simple kisses. Damien pulled back, gasping for air and holding on to the ladder. She panted for breath, her breasts heaving ever so nicely.
First, the blindfold had to go.
Damien reached through the ladder and undid the knot holding the silk in place. He let it fall to the ground, and stroked her smooth, shiny hair.
Her lashes fluttered against her cheeks before her eyes slowly opened. Her gaze was a little unfocused, but she wasn’t going to be an easy one to throw off-balance.
“Hi,” he said.
“Hello, yourself.”
“You okay? Anything hurt in a bad way?”
She took a moment, moving her arms and legs, straining against the ropes. “No.”
Damien clicked his tongue and walked around her, dragging his hand along her abdomen as he went.
“I’m going to have to remind you that you agreed to call me sir, aren’t I?” He selected a flogger with close to fifty suede tails, each an individual strip of leather, attached to the handle.
Rapunzel didn’t reply.
Damien didn’t think her disobedience was intentional, but he was amused by her desire to brazen it out. He swung the flogger, slapping his hand with the tails. The loud crack startled Rapunzel and she pulled against the ropes holding her perfectly in place.
He grabbed the length of silk from the floor and used it to bind her hair up off her back. Flogging tended to break hair, and she had very nice hair.
“Remember, it didn’t have to be this way, but you made me do this,” he said with as much seriousness as he could muster.
“Oh, I really am making a big man like you do something,” she shot back over her shoulder. “Sir.”
Damien laughed, though he shouldn’t encourage her. He cupped her ass and squeezed the firm globes. This was going to be fun.
He kissed her where her shoulder met her neck. She shivered, so he kissed the same spot again. She squirmed and tried to squeeze him out, but he grabbed the tail of hair and pulled her head to the side.
The muscles along her back tensed and she jerked against the ropes, but they held firm. His friend, Dom Yamamoto, had taught him to tie rope. There was no way she would be able to get away from him.
The urge to touch her all over, acquaint himself with her curves, was strong. But that wasn’t what they’d come here for. She wanted a new experience and he wanted to dominate. He wanted to give her everything she didn’t know she wanted.
