Dungeon Building — Melinda Barron

Newspaper editor Evelyn Barkley has isolated herself in the tiny Colorado town of Clearwater for three years, trying to get over a bad relationship. But one night at a collaring near Denver, she discovers Lieutenant Logan Hendricks, a Clearwater cop who has always pushed the wrong buttons for her, is a Dom without a sub.

Despite her misgivings, Evelyn agrees to submit to Logan, who finds her “dungeon” singularly lacking. But he has a solution: gifts of ropes, clips, clamps, and other assorted toys that will make their holiday very happy indeed.

Evelyn quickly discovers that she and Logan are a perfect fit, especially when she's tied up for their mutual pleasure. Now if they can just keep their toys a secret from nosy townspeople, and oh, find a murderer before he gets away, it'll be the best Christmas ever.
