Description

From USA Today best-selling authors W Winters and Amelia Wilde comes a sinful romance with a touch of dark and angst that will keep you gripping the edge of your seat. 

I should have known when I couldn’t keep my eyes off her that this would be a mistake.

I was hired to protect her, this woman who’s lost everything yet there’s an obvious fire that blazes behind her beautiful gaze. She stares back, daring and tempting me. It calls to a side of me that’s darker and longs to tame her.

We both have secrets, we both have a past we’re not ready to face. More than that, we both want to get lost in each other, falling into a forbidden game of control and power. Of submission and dominance.

The moment she agrees to my terms, I know I’ve crossed a line. One of many rules I’m willing to break. No one can know, not a soul, but secrets in the life I lead never last for long.

"From beginning to end my eyes were glued to the pages, the words took ahold of me and wouldn't let go. These authors put together something that is suspenseful, emotionally charged, passionate, mildly dark... and so easy to get wrapped up in." - Misty, (Reds Romance Reviews)

Secrets & Submissions is the complete Love the Way You trilogy in one. One couple and one happily ever after.

    Kiss Me is one flaming hot story. When there is an instant connection but it is forbidden, what shall one do? Zander is an employee of The Firm, the private security company that has been hired to protect and look after Ella, the social media socialite. All her life, Ella has been under the social media microscope. She was born into wealth and has always gotten what she's wanted. She lived her life the way she wanted and not at all shy about allowing others to see her wants and desires. However, a fatal incident has placed Ella out of the spotlight and living in darkness. What happened to change Ella from the carefree, outspoken, and flamboyant woman? Zander notices this spark in Ella the moment he sees her in the courtroom. There is this magnetic pull he can't explain and she feels it too. One of many that have sworn to watch over and protect her, Zander is the only one who doesn't know why Ella is in the state that she is in. Curiosity soon takes over and Zander finds himself looking into Ella's past. What he discovers confirms why he feels this connection with her. He knows that he can give her what she wants and needs to get better. To return to that woman she once was. However at what price? Can Zander maintain his professional relationship and the oath he has taken as a member of The Firm, or will it all go down because his desire to give Ella what she wants and needs will ruin them both? Hold Me continues where we left off with Kiss Me. Zander and Ella are playing a dangerous game. Their connection has been found out and now they both are suffering the consequences. Zander has been kicked off The Firm and Ella is finding that the one person she trusted the most was responsible for others finding out. Anger, betrayal, and confusion surround Ella as she tries to pick up her life and start fresh. Now that they have been found out, Zander is not holding back. He knows what he wants and what he needs to do to help Ella be Ella again. Ella is unsure of where she stands with Zander. She wants him to want her, but not only physically. As she works through her emotions of who and what she has lost, new discoveries of her past are revealed. Zander is determined to find out answers that may just reveal why Ella behaved and enjoyed being an exhibitionist. More secrets and answers to those secrets will be revealed in Love Me (book 3). Love Me is the conclusion of Zander and Ella's story. What a great way to wrap up their forbidden romance than with an emotional roller coaster ride filled with chaos, sexiness, and darkness. Zander discovers how deep his feelings for Ella run and will stop at nothing to keep her safe. While Ella realizes how much she needs him. She grows so much as an individual. Together, they realize that their love and unity make them a team to be reckoned with and unstoppable. GREAT ENDING!!!!!

    5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m stuck on “WOW” moment. I was so not expecting anything. Relationship between Zander and Ella had many turns, many positive ones to get her go through things that happened in the past and conflicted with present. They just got this unexpected push from the very beginning that give them everything and more. Their dom/sub relationship for starters. They might not drop the one thing I was thinking will happen; maybe even waiting for it but….I like it when unexpected and unpredictable things happen. Their story had those twists that it was so hard to put the book down even at 3am. Also, Zander’s friendship/brotherhood with Damon got me some good laugh moments. Can I say that I am MAD that book ended way too fast? Looks like Damon has interesting story to tell…. And Kam. His role in Elle’s life was definitely more important than I thought at the very beginning. This guy was definitely not what I expected.
  • Wow!

    Ella and Zander’s story starts slow, but then it kicks into high gear. It’s full of mystery, passion and two people needing to heal and their journey to get there. Excellent book!

    This book was filled with complex characters, angst, and of course amazing chemistry between Zander and Ella. It had me sucked in from the start and I enjoyed every single page. Thank you Willow Winters and Amelia Wilde for such a compelling story and characters I couldn't get enough of.

    This was a great read! I highly enjoyed it, and read the entire thing in two sittings! I was absolutely glued to this series, and finished within two days. I love how this set brings the three shorter stories into one seamless book! I enjoyed being able to continue to read about Zander and Ella without having to pick up a second or third book. Zander and Ella have an almost instant attraction, and have both dealt with very similar trauma, allowing them both to truly connect to each other. They form a relationship that allows release, as well as trust. As the story progresses they reveal more and more deep and personal secrets to one another. This allows them to bond in ways they haven’t yet bonded with other people. These are short books that are easy to read, and I love the story! I would check the TW’s for this book, but it was an amazing read. I was given an advanced reader copy of this series, and am voluntarily leaving my review.

    This was a really good story by these two authors. You couldn’t even tell it was co-written. Their words flowed seamlessly throughout. This trilogy is beautiful yet heart wrenching. It will pull out the feels. Kiss me- I haven’t read a BDSM book in a while and I was not disappointed. Zander and Ella are thrown together by the place he works at. The Firm is a protection agency and that is what they are doing. Ella is mysterious and I wanted to know so much about her. Zander is just as much a mystery. When they first met, Zander felt something he hasn’t in a while. Some of the questions I had were answered, but now I have more. Willow and Amelia did pull out the passion and feelings with these two. This is a slow-burn romance with some suspense. There is a connection that you can’t deny that they have. Hold Me- In this one we see more of Zander and Ella’s past. Both have something very terrible happen to them and they both blame themselves with what happened to those they loved. Zander and Ella may be the only ones to help the other heal. My emotions are all over the place after reading this part. Let me tell you, this story is worth all the tears you will shed. Love Me- I loved Ella and Z’s finale. Willow and Amelia did a fabulous job tying it up. These two went through a lot to get to where they finished. It was frought with secrets, lies, truths, and shocking twists. My emotions were put through the ringer with their story. Their road was not a straight one. It was filled with twists and turns that went up and down. Both of these have darkness in their pasts and it was not due to something they did, it was just bad circumstances. I loved how Ella grew and how strong she is and Z helped bring that out. She also had to trust and bring down the walls around her heart no matter how much she wanted to keep them up. I recommend end reading this trilogy, you won’t be sorry. Just have tissues and something soft with you.
