Maon: Marshal of Tallav
by Cailin Briste
Maon
Keefe has always been told he’s doomed to fail as a husband. He decides never
to marry instead focusing on living life as a player and becoming a capable
marshal of Tallav. When he is shot and the most-wanted criminal he’s escorting
escapes, he fears that his career, his one success in life, is doomed. Assigned
to ferret out the cause of missing shipments for a VIP aristocrat, he meets Selina
Shirley CEO of the House of Shirley. He finds himself inexplicably attracted to
her despite her frumpy appearance. When he meets a hooded and masked, scorching
hot Domme, Lasair, at his friend’s BDSM club, he’s torn between the two women.
Both fire his imagination and call to his submissive nature. Either might be
the woman to change him into successful husband material.
Selina Shirley organizes her life like she organizes her business, taking control of all aspects of each. She’s concluded that she must marry to get an heir and that her future husband must be totally submissive. Mentored by the sector’s most famous sadist, she learns what it takes to be a proper Domme. Then, hidden behind a hood and mask, as Lasair, she meets Maon and her instant attraction to his full submission at the BDSM club leads her to break her own rules and become involved with him. But he’s also the marshal assigned to investigate thefts at her company. When his broad streak of protective alpha male comes into play, it obvious he’s not a 24/7 submissive. To stick to her plan to marry the perfect husband, she must ignore her heart and dump Maon.

Now for an Excerpt:
Despite his ordinary, nondescript looks, Randolph, owner of
the Whip Hand, had a charisma that mesmerized even the most difficult people
into doing exactly what he willed. Not that Maon needed mesmerizing to take up
Randolph’s gauntlet. They were friends, and when Randolph had needed someone to
help in a predicament bondage scene, Maon had been hesitant to assist him.
After all, what was in it for Maon? He wasn’t into Randolph, and he didn’t like
pain. When Randolph turned it into a challenge with a hot female sub as a
prize, Maon’s reluctance had evaporated. Now it was a given that Randolph would
offer Maon a new sadistic challenge whenever Maon made it to Beta Tau. The
public play space was already crowded with tourists of every stripe, from
lifestyle kinksters to the merely curious. The Whip Hand was a place to indulge
your fantasies or explore new possibilities. Only the serious-minded would
complete the security registration that allowed them to enter the private play
space and individual rooms beyond the public areas. Maon spotted Randolph
heading toward him. A woman who looked familiar to Maon was following him, but
she darted into the locker room before he could get a good look at her. He
turned back to the scene he’d been watching.
“You ready?” Randolph asked when he strode up to where Maon
was observing a younger man using a single tail to make a submissive shriek in
fear. With each crack, she screamed even though the whip had yet to touch her.
“He’s good,” Maon said.
Randolph crossed his arms over his chest. “Trained him
myself.”
“What? Mind fucks or the whip?”
“Both actually.” Randolph’s face lit with a smirk.

creating a universe in which each planet is a study in different what ifs. What
would happen to alpha men on a matriarchal planet where the women are not
Dommes in the strictest sense but certainly have the attitude down pat? How
would society handle it if girls born on their new planet developed empathic
senses? Cailin throws her characters into these settings, heroes and heroines
whose kink is a major defining attribute of their personality.
