Snatch Me by Nara Malone
From the moment Jolie discovers the Quarterz, a virtual post-apocalyptic world for capture role-players, she can't resist the challenge. She's chosen a hard game, where sexual submission to a captor is expected, demanded, no quarter given. She uses the challenge to escape real life and feels a sense of kinship to a world like the Quarterz, a society too broken to fix. Mack created the Quarterz and took a gamble when he secretly lured Jolie there. He suspects he and Jolie share sexual interests that neither can admit in person. Now he has to hope that time in the Quarterz can help Jolie cope as she struggles to rebuild her life. He has to stand back and allow her to find her way in a game where he's not always the captor. But when the game is over, he's determined to be the one who wins Jolie for real.

For months she's been communicating with a mysterious man, known only to her as the Phantom. Her lover contacts her via texts, emails and instant messages. When he offers to fulfill her desires in real life, she can't refuse. The only condition to meeting for their sizzling assignations -- he wears a mask to hide his true identity. Despite his reluctance to reveal himself to Erika, he tears down her inhibitions and unleashes her suppressed passions, taking possession of her body and soul. Erika may have finally found the one man who can sate her every longing…if only he would show her the man behind the mask.

Want to go Private? by M.A. Ellis
Obsessed with exploring the kinkiness she buried years ago, Isabel starts to imagine that the sexy, biceps-to-drool-over bartender at her favorite pub is dropping hints about bondage. But fantasy suddenly becomes reality when she finds herself draped over the bar, wrists tied to the beer tap, begging for release. Chris has an uncanny knack for sensing when one of his customers might be down with a little discipline and a lot of submission, and he suspects Isabel is primed for both. When he overhears her plan to hit a new round of dating sites, he's forced to make his move and uses his talents as a BDSM blogger and chat-room Dom to his full advantage. From bar to blog to bedroom, Chris employs tricks and toys to help Isabel recognize the undeniable truth. He's the only Dom she'll ever need.
