DEA agent Domino Petracelli is chasing a career-making promotion and nothing will keep her from getting her man. Okay, so she'd rather infiltrate a Columbian drug cartel than go undercover as a dominatrix at D.C.'s Xecutive Branch sex club. But she's up to the task. As the leather-clad Mistress Bella, Domino investigates the club's drug ring while juggling a surreal roster of kinky submissives-and resisting one sexy client who's not what he seems.

     Police detective Dalton Cutter is a man with a mission-avenging his partner, who was murdered investigating the Xecutive Branch. Retracing his partner's steps, he goes undercover as a club client. Dalton's handled killers, junkies, and pimps, but can the Alpha-male cop act submissive long enough to fool Mistress Bella? And will their sexual chemistry, crackling louder than Bella's whip, derail Dalton's investigation?

    At Her Command, a comic romantic suspense, pokes fun at the alphabet soup of D.C. law enforcement agencies. When the DEA, the FBI and the DC police unknowingly put operatives undercover at the same club, sexy sparks fly.

Note: Rated R for Risqué

“At Her Command is a well-written romantic suspense and Ms. James does a fine job of threading heavy elements of humor throughout her story. At the same time, several nicely placed and well-developed emotional scenes help to strengthen the reader’s interests. Domino and Dalton are a well-matched duo and a full cast of characters – not the least of which is “Smokey”, the DEA’s Chinese Crested, drug-sniffing dog – help to make this a sincerely delightful read. With a suggestive setting and love scenes that are satisfyingly sensual, At Her Command is sure to appeal to a large readership.”

“This is a romantic suspense that is written with a wry comedic slant. Frankly, the submissive clients are a hoot--they're a fascinating batch of oddballs. We have two different agencies that haven't a clue they're in each other's stakeouts. It makes for very interesting dynamics, especially when the volatile chemistry between Dominique and Dalton is flipped a hundred and eighty degrees from their actual tendencies. At Her Command is a very entertaining read.”

“It’s Ms. James’ characters that make for a strangely seductive…and quirky love story. The Chinese Crested dog (think bald Chihuahua with a really bad fizzy wig) named Smokey…is a unique character. There’s something original about AT HER COMMAND. An entirely new blend of romance and police genres. I’ve been reminded of an Ann Rice novel.”

SOUTHERN EXPOSURE
By Marcia James

The naked truth…
      Who’s playing nasty practical jokes on the rich and famous at Eden Bay, the notorious “clothing optional” Caribbean resort? Wanting out of her dead-end job, tabloid reporter Piper Loring goes undercover to investigate. The chance to write for a respected newspaper is worth risking sunburn on previously unexposed body parts. But can she stay focused on the job when faced with a seductive mystery man?

The bare facts…
     Miami private investigator Jack Kendall is hired to catch the Eden Bay Vandal. The pay’s great, but would Sam Spade wear a thong bathing suit? First on Jack’s list of suspects is the shy, sexy redhead who uses props like tropical drinks to mask her toplessness. Jack sticks to Piper like a sweaty thigh to a beach chair and soon discovers his inability to carry a concealed weapon is the least of his worries.
