ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 18, 2026

I wear his collar to catch my sister’s killer.
I never meant to become his.

For five years, I’ve hunted the man who murdered my sister at Elysium, a now-closed BDSM club.

Now I finally have a way into the world that protected him.

Dominion.

And the Dom called Obsidian may be my best chance to uncover its secrets.

Reclusive. Ruthlessly controlled. Notorious for seeing exactly what his submissives try hardest to hide.

He’s never collared anyone.

Until me.

I accept because his collar opens doors my investigation can’t reach.

I kneel because surrender is merely another weapon.

At least, that’s what I tell myself.

The closer I get to the truth about my sister, the harder it becomes to lie to the one man who sees through me.

And when I discover that Obsidian has secrets of his own, everything I’ve begun to trust is suddenly in question.

Seeking justice may cost me the one thing I never meant to surrender.

Him.

REVIEW:DOMINION’S COLLAR is the third instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult VELVET DOMINION erotic, BDSM, Dom/ sub romantic suspense series, set in the author’s CLUB OPUS NOIR and CLUB SOUTHSIDE worlds of Cerberus Security. This is Dom Sebastien ‘Obsidian’ Villere, and investigative reporter Natalie Chastain’s story line. DOMINION’S COLLAR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sebastien and Natalie) DOMINION’S COLLAR focuses on the hunt for the truth. Five years earlier, Natalie’s sister Claire Bergeron died while playing at the former Elysium sex club, a club once frequented by several current members and Doms of Dominion Club. With the help of her sister’s journals, Natalie goes undercover into the Dominion Club on the hunt for a killer, only to find herself falling in love with Sebastien Villere but Natalie’s questions begin to upset some of the members including our story line hero who, with the help of Natalie, will uncover the truth.

The world building is intense, intriguing and detailed as Natalie reveals the timeline of events, struggles and evidence amassed by herself and her sister Claire. Everyone has secrets and Natalie is determined to uncover them all.

The relationship between Natalie and Sebastien begins as Dom/sub but Sebastien suspects there is more to Natalie than she has revealed. Knowing she is an investigative journalist does nothing to appease the mistrust but Sebastien offers Natalie a thirty day Dom/sub relationship in which he is determined to discover the real Natalie Chastain. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense including many Dom/sub scenarios.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, leery and dynamic secondary and supporting characters many of whom reveal clues and information not previously exposed. We are reintroduced to Dominion Club owner Margot Pascal, security specialist Remy, Dominion member and head of Operations for Rapier Strategic Luc Pascal, NOLA police Detective Andre ‘Andy’ Broussard, and club bartender Renata St. Clair; member Vivienne Thibault.

DOMINION’S COLLAR is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and madness, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic, edgy and captivating; the characters are determined, strong willed and spirited; the romance is provocative and seductive.

If steamy alpha males, curvy heroines, and just the right amount of paranormal growl are your thing—meet your new favorite author: Delta James.

A USA Today bestselling queen of romantic suspense and paranormal heat, Delta writes fast-paced, heart-racing, panty-melting stories featuring strong women, dominant men, and more than a few fated mates. Whether it’s shifters howling in the wild or billionaires brooding in boardrooms, her books always bring the spice.

Delta didn’t grow up dreaming of writing romance. In fact, she launched her author career in 2018 after deciding her second act in life needed more passion… and possibly more bite. Since then? She’s published dozens of books across series like Wayward Mates, Otter Cove Shifters, Club Southside, Tangled Vines, and Mystic River Shifters—each one a decadent dive into danger, desire, and often, some well-placed discipline.

She lives in Florida with her pack of loyal basset hounds (aka editors with long ears and zero chill), and when she’s not writing steamy scenes or plotting revenge for her latest heroine, she’s probably riding horses, walking the beach, or white-water rafting—because why not?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 3, 2026

He watched her.
He chose her.
Now he’s done waiting.

Luca Santoro is the Outfit’s most feared enforcer; cold, precise, and lethal without remorse. When a quiet ER nurse saves his life and asks no questions about the bullet in his side, something inside him snaps into place.

Francesca “Frankie” Mancini becomes his.

For three months, Luca watches her. Learns her routines. Memorizes her smiles. Tells himself he’s protecting what’s his, long before she ever agrees.

When he finally steps into her life, it’s no accident. No coincidence. He’s already decided how this ends.

Frankie senses the danger beneath Luca’s charm, but attraction blurs every warning sign. Until the truth shatters her sense of safety; photos she never posed for, doors unlocked by hands that shouldn’t have keys, a man who knows her better than anyone ever has.

Now she’s trapped in his world, caught between terror and temptation. Luca is ruthless to his enemies, merciless to anyone who threatens her and disturbingly gentle when it comes to Frankie.

As rival families close in, Luca becomes the monster he was born to be.

And Frankie must choose:
Run from the man who stalked her…
or stay with the devil who would burn the city down to keep her.

REVIEW: THE ENFORCER’S CLAIM is the first instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult RUTHLESS RULE dark, erotic Mafia romance series. This is Mafia enforcer Luca Santoro, and ER nurse Francesca Mancini’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Francesca and Luca) THE ENFORCER’S CLAIM follows Mafia enforcer Luca Santoro’s obsession of our story line heroine. Three months earlier, Luca Santoro landed in Francesca Mancini’s ER, and in the wake, our hero became obsessive about the woman he would call his own. Francesca felt she was being stalked, and an attempted robbery brought Francesca face to face with the man who would control her life. Luca Santoro is determined to claim Francesca, with or without our heroine’s permission but when his latest assignment goes wrong, Luca finds himself a target, and the trickle down targets the woman he claims to love.

The world building focuses on obsession and stalking, and one man’s determination to take control. Francesca finds herself at a crossroads, either direction ends with our story line hero, and in this, Francesca relinquishes control of her life to a man she barely knows.

The relationship between Luca and Francesca is a stalker romance: a somewhat ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ romance in which Francesca is caught between the proverbial roach and a hard place, knowing whichever way she chooses, Luca is not far behind. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense.

Then secondary and supporting characters are limited. We are introduced to Luca’s boss, Don Marco, a man frustrated with Luca’s obsession with Francesca Mancini.

THE ENFORCER’S CLAIM is a story of obsession and stalking; secrets and lies, power and control, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and edgy; the characters are desperate and determined; the romance is subtle as the primary focus is on the obsessive nature of one man’s need to claim a woman he is desperate to know.

Velvet Dominion 1
by Delta James
Genre: adult, contemporary, dark, romantic , suspense

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 27, 2026

At Dominion, control is everything… until someone takes it from you.

Luc Pascal doesn’t lose control. Not in the field. Not in the club. Not with a woman.

Until Simone LaCroix becomes his assignment.

When explicit photos of the powerful oil heiress surface—taken from security blind spots that shouldn’t exist—Luc is ordered to protect her. Twenty-four hours a day. No distance. No exceptions.

Simone is used to being in charge. Even her submission is controlled, performed, safe.
Luc doesn’t allow safe. He demands real surrender.

What begins as protection becomes a dangerous power exchange neither of them can escape.

But someone is watching. Learning their every weakness.

And the closer they get… the easier it will be to destroy them both.

••••••

REVIEW: DOMINION’S COMMAND is the first instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult VELVET DOMINION erotic, romantic suspense series, set in the author’s CLUB OPUS NOIR and CLUB SOUTHSIDE worlds of Cerberus Security. This is Dominion member and head of Operations for Rapier Strategic Luc Pascal, and Lacroix Petroleum CEO Simone LaCroix’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, including Dom/sub scenarios, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luc and Simone) DOMINION’S COMMAND follows in the wake of disturbing images of our story line heroine. For weeks, Simone has been receiving questionable messages, threats from an unknown person but when the threats become personal, with pictures from Dominion’s private lifestyle rooms, Luc Pascal and the team at Rapier Strategic begin a deep dive into the people in Simone’s life. From disgruntled employees, Dominion members and Doms, to jealous family members, everyone becomes suspect as the threats against Simone become more dangerous and dark.

The relationship between Luc and Simone begins as a security detail. Simone has a stalker who has infiltrated the Dominion Club, and Luc is about to take is personally, declaring himself guardian and protector of our story line heroine. Always in Dom mode, Luc forces Simone to submit, a woman who is often TSTL in the face of the threats and danger to her life. The $ex scenes are intimate, provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of energetic and colorful Armand Deveraux, Dom Julien LaSalle, club owner Margot, security specialist Remy, several board members including Patrice Moreau, Walter Brandt, Henry Castellanos and contractor Marcel Fontaine. The requisite evil has many faces.

DOMINION’S COMMAND is a fast paced, character driven story of betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and greed, secrets and lies, dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating and dramatic but there is some repetition and redundancy; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic
