Release Day Blitz Shame Me Not by Fiona Cole w/ #Giveaway

Title: Shame Me Not

Author: Fiona Cole

Genre: Erotica BDSM 

Publisher: Self Published

Release Date: July 26, 2017

Cover Design: Najla Qambar Designs

Blurb/Synopsis

Shame. Panic. Desire. Dominance. Disgust.

All feelings that I was familiar with from the age of sixteen. That's when I met Ana. The girl next door who became so much more. Until her, I was alone in the dark desires that I didn't understand, that I couldn't reconcile.   

My best friend, she accepted me. Helped me see that there was no shame in the things that we both craved. Her submission was a drug, my dominance over her a high that I'd never experienced. When we were together, I was at peace for the first time in my life. 

 But it was too good to last. Our own guilt over our feelings, of our appetite for pain and pleasure, destroyed us. I was convinced that all I needed was a chance, just one more chance to overcome my shame, and Ana would be able to trust me again. 

 If only it were that easy.

Derick: I knew from the moment I saw Lisa that she was my girl, and I her man. I knew that she was my mate. I didn’t think she would ever need to know what I was. Although I would live forever and never change appearance or grow old, I thought I could find ways to cover that (dying my hair grey, plastic surgery) but when I found out that I would have cause to transform (we werewolves only transform when our mate is in danger) everything changed. It was time to tell her, and to fight for her.
Because of the choice Derick has made to tell his mate Lisa the truth, he inevitably puts her in danger which only he can save her from.
