So what do you do when you’re married for 25 years, your child is leaving home for college, and you suddenly find yourself with a very free after-work schedule?
If you’re the heroine of my new book, you might find yourself in the position of wanting to spice things up in your otherwise solid and loving marriage.
In A Roll of the Dice, I cover the very common situation of “where do we go from here?” many long-term couples find themselves in. Jenny discovers BDSM fiction via her book club. After learning from Shayla, one of the club’s other members, that BDSM is really a “thing” people do in real life, Jenny wants to learn more.
Now her husband, Mike, is forced to figure out a new path for himself in an attempt to find a way through this new “thing” that will both make Jenny happy and be something he can live with.
This is actually a very familiar scenario. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to munches, where people stood up and introduced themselves and talked about discovering BDSM later in life, having spent years thinking there was something “wrong” with them, or years in a relationship that was totally not fulfilling. Sometimes, their partner makes the journey with them, or attempts to. Sometimes, they end up having to make a clean break and a fresh start, alone, or the relationship dissolves in the process of self-discovery. People change and grow apart. Sometimes, they grow together.
This isn’t some impossible billionaire Dom haunting a ritzy private club looking for his next submissive, or some broken and lost woman looking for an anchor in her crazy life. This is the story of two regular, everyday, middle-class, average-Joe people, a husband and wife, who love each other very much and want to stay together and muddle their way through this new “thing” now that their son is off to college. They could be any middle-aged couple after twenty-five years of marriage.

Description
[Siren Sensations: Erotic Consensual BDSM Romance, voyeurism, public exhibition, sex toys, HEA]
After twenty-five years of marriage, Jenny wants to try something new with her husband, Mike. Her book club’s been reading BDSM fiction. It’s piqued her curiosity enough to make her want to brave a local munch and try things with her husband.
Mike loves Jenny and would do anything for her. But memories of the abuse his mom suffered haunt him, and he refuses to be “that” man. When Jenny tells Mike she wants them to try BDSM, he attempts to keep an open mind despite his personal issues about it.
While meeting people from the local community, Mike makes an effort to give Jenny what she needs despite his desires warring with his conscience. Once his shock and surprise wear off over who he discovers is involved in the alternative lifestyle, Jenny and Mike start forging a new path. But will that journey lead them apart, or bring them closer together?
