Xander Lenox thought being a powerful heir meant always being in charge. He was very wrong. In a truly dazzling twist, the princess he meets isn't looking for a diamond ring...she's looking for a diamond leash.😘




Xander Lenox, heir to the Lenox family dynasty, is burdened by the weight of expectations. Desperate for a break from control, he seizes the chance to attend an exclusive dungeon party.


With only six months to find a suitable spouse, before she’s forced to return to her island home, Princess Promise Candler is on a mission—but she’s not searching for a conventional prince. She wants a man strong enough to submit to her.


One night, twenty mattresses, and one grain of rice are the tests that Xander must endure. But can Xander survive the princess’s eccentric challenge and prove that he’s more than just an heir? That he’s the submissive she’s been searching for?


In this provocative, steamy romance, expectations are shattered, and submission is seductive. Will Xander pass the test—and surrender to a love he never saw coming?


Can be read as a standalone ...*






My Thoughts...


Xander Lenox thought being a powerful heir meant always being in charge. He was very wrong. In a truly dazzling twist, the princess he meets isn't looking for a diamond ring...she's looking for a diamond leash 🤭


Xander Lenox has always believed that being a powerful heir meant staying in control. But what if the real twist is that true power can actually be found in letting go? Princess Promise Candler, a royal with a penchant for flipping the script on traditional romance. Forget the diamond ring...Promise is in search of a diamond leash!


In Xander's Tale, there is a mix of wit and steam, cleverly overturning conventional romance tropes. Burdened by his family's high expectations, Xander seeks an escape and stumbles into Promise's world, where submission is seen as strength and love becomes an exhilarating game. The "twenty mattresses, one grain of rice" challenge is intriguing, infusing humor and high tension into a narrative that is as erotic as it is thought-provoking.


This one is unique, exploring power dynamics and the seductive allure of surrender. It begs the question: Can an heir truly embrace the role of a submissive, and is the unexpected, explosive love worth every single test? The answer is a resounding, captivating..."Yes".


Get ready for your expectations to be turned upside down and your senses to be awakened. Xander's Tale isn’t just a book...it’s an invitation to a thrilling adventure where letting go might just be the ultimate power move. Are you ready to jump in?


*I would recommend trying all of them...it will enhance your experience.





The Drink Pairing: Xander’s "Bottom of the Glass" Manhattan


The Wit Behind the Sip:

We’re using Bourbon because it’s the gold standard of "serious" men, but the Sweet Vermouth is what actually makes the drink work, just like Promise is the only one who can actually make Xander work.


For the man who has everything but control, this drink is a liquid lesson in surrender. It’s sophisticated enough for a boardroom, but has enough kick to keep you on your knees.😋😘
