The Edge of Us
Coming soon
Colton & Sami's story, interconnected to the Vallyn Duet. Blurb coming soon.
In this story we follow the development of a romance and dynamic that turns out to be a Sadist/SAM dynamic. Colton is a true sadist, and Sami is a true SAM that partially uses the masochism to heal. Sometimes she just needs to feel something.
This is a now and then timeline from when they meet to eight years later and everything in between. This book has more praise than degradation, but is heavy on hardcore BDSM, including violent CNC and knife play that turns into blood play at times—it is also heavy on primal play. Where book one is more romantic and soft, book two is more feral and violent.
Because it is interconnected to Vallyn and Sami has a rough history of her own, there are some darker themes, there will be an author's note and heavier trigger warnings.

Author’s Note For The Entire Saga
The Sweet Surrender saga delves into the wide, nuanced spectrum of Dominant/submissive relationships—including varying levels of consensual power exchange, sadomasochism, and hierarchical polyamory. These stories span a diverse range of kinks, sexualities, and relational structures, reflecting the many beautiful ways people lead, surrender, connect, and love.
In both fiction and real life, no single story can capture the full breadth of BDSM or D/s experiences—nor can it fully encompass the emotional, physical, and psychological depth these dynamics can offer. My intent is not to define the lifestyle, but to honor it through emotionally grounded, character-driven storytelling.
While I strive for authenticity and realism, these books are not meant to represent the entirety of the kink, BDSM, or ENM communities. I work closely with authenticity and sensitivity readers during the alpha stage to ensure these portrayals remain respectful and informed.
At times, you’ll see characters express that certain kinks or practices aren’t for them. This is not kink-shaming—just a reflection of the real and necessary diversity of boundaries, comfort levels, and preferences within the lifestyle. Often, my characters evolve and clarify their views as their stories unfold.
I’m a passionate supporter of kink-affirming, sex-positive communities, and I hope that care and reverence is felt in every word of this series. If you’re curious about any of the dynamics featured, you can find additional resources and context on my website.
