**Master for Life by Amanda Holly**

Good Morning, Everyone! So thrilled to see you all today! A week or so ago I featured a cover reveal for this book and now it is available! Yay! Please allow me to feature on the blog, once again, Amanda McKinney and her latest release, PHOENIX …. And HAPPY RELEASE DAY!

**AMANDA HOLLY**

**BIO**

I can usually be found in my home office – either writing, reading or burrowing down several rabbit holes on the internet under the guise of doing research!

The idea of writing a book took seed during my twenties, but between getting married, emigrating and raising children, the closest I got to writing was joining book clubs and attending writing courses. Finally, in my forties, I co-founded the Romance writers of South Africa (ROSA) with Romy Sommer and that’s where the dream to write has finally become a reality.

I write sizzling romantic suspense novels, and love delving into worlds I know nothing about … hence the research!

When not glued to my Kindle, reading the latest steamy novel, I spend my time catching up with dear friends, going to the movies and planning the next building project at home. My poor husband!

Born and bred in Holland to a Dutch father and an English mother, I have lived in three different continents. I’m currently living in sunny South Africa with my ever-patient husband and two grown children who I hope will stick around the house just a little bit longer!

**TEASER**

**EXCERPT**

“It’s important that you follow my lead, and by that, I mean it’s important that you obey my every command.”

Could she do that? Obey him? Follow his every command? Sure, she’d written about it countless times, but that wasn’t the same as being able to do it in real life. Would it be as sexy as she imagined? Would she react the same way her characters did in her books? And what if he wanted to spank her, whip her? She stepped back instinctively. A whipping was not something she’d considered before.

He caught her elbows before she moved further away. “I don’t know what’s going through your mind right now, Anna, but you’d better let me know. I can see something’s spooked you.”

His thumbs stroked the inside of her elbow, across the brush cotton of her trench coat. The rub of the silk lining against her skin made her lean in, wanting more of the heat he was providing. “I don’t want to be whipped,” she croaked.

The movement of his thumbs stilled as his eyebrows lifted, “Whipped? What the hell makes you think I want to whip you, baby?”

She swallowed. “I don’t know. But whips scare me. You tell me I need to obey, but I have no idea what you’ll be asking of me.”

His hands slid down from her elbows, engulfing her hands in a strong grip. “Don’t be scared. I won’t do anything to hurt you. Unless you ask me to.” He winked as he uttered the words. “Or,” he continued, “if you do something in there that will require me to discipline you.” His lips grazed her knuckles while his eyes dared her to misbehave, as if relishing the thought of being able to dish out some discipline. “We will not be taking part in any scenes in there unless we both agree to it. We’re here to find out more about Desiree. That’s all. We’re going in undercover so we can blend in without being noticed. You will stay by my side where no harm will come to you. Understood?”

“Yes.” His nearness quieted the panic rising within. The gentle way he spoke had a better calming effect than any coping mechanisms she’d taught herself over the last five years.

He frowned. “One more thing. In there, you’re going to have to address me as Sir. Mistress Blaze, and all the people who know me inside the club, also know I would never tolerate anything less. I have always disciplined subs for not addressing me in the correct manner. I trust this will not make you feel uncomfortable?”

“No, Sir.” The honorific rolled off her tongue with ease. The sentiment behind it once again stirring the hot lava streaming through her veins as he continued to hold her hands within his heated grasp.

“Good. One last thing. In there, I am Master Declan. I am well known for disciplining subs for minor infractions. I am known for being a hard Master, and I like it. Make no mistake, I am not putting my reputation on the line, and I will discipline you if I need to. Do I have your consent to do so?”

Her shoes pinched as she tottered on the heels. She couldn’t just consent to anything, even if her body was overheating in excited anticipation against the silk lining of her coat. “Uhm, you need to be more specific. When you say discipline, what exactly does that mean?” She hesitated before quickly adding, “Sir.”
