Awakenings series by Michelle Zurlo,(books 1-3, 5)

1. Letting Go: No man has ever satisfied Sabrina Breszewski in bed. She doesn’t want a husband, but thanks to her grandfather’s will, she needs one, and soon. Impulsively, she proposes to a stranger in the conference room at the advertising agency for which she works. Jonas Spencer has been married before. He’s a cynic, but the chance to be with the beautiful, powerful advertising executive is too good to let pass. He accepts Sabrina’s proposal in exchange for the promise of the passion boiling just below the surface, the passion into which she cannot tap. Layer by layer, he peels away her carefully-constructed façade, helping Sabrina find passion and showing her the power was always hers. As Sabrina falls in love with Jonas, she must confront the lingering shadows of his first marriage. Can she help him let go of the past, or will he use it to throw away the future? Note: This book contains BDSM, whipping, and exhibitionism.

2. Hanging On: Five years after being abused by her boyfriend, Sophia DiMarco has managed to put her life back together. She’s a dominatrix with her pick of willing submissives. For her, sex is about control, and she’s the one pulling the strings. Everything in her life is perfect until she meets Drew Snow, one of the country’s most popular TV chefs. Handsome and charming, Drew gets what he wants, and he wants Sophia.

The chemistry is undeniable, but Drew refuses to fall in line. He simply isn’t a submissive. Sophia tries to walk away, but Drew refuses to give up. Can he tear away the barriers to her heart and claim it for his own?

3. Two Masters for Samantha: Aspiring artist Samantha Spencer has been around the BDSM lifestyle for years, but she has never had a taste of it. When identical twins Alexei and Stefano Morozov propose a night of sensuous pleasure, free-spirited Sam jumps at the chance to experience something new, even though she knows it has to be just a passing fling. She’s very close to her family, and she knows there is no way they would accept this unconventional relationship.

But one night isn’t enough for the Morozov brothers. They’ve found the one woman who can complete them, and they’re not willing to give her up. For her, they’ll have to pretend to be one man.

Samantha isn’t comfortable with this arrangement. It feels too much like a betrayal. Can she find the courage to stand up for what she wants and honor the two men who love her?

5. Letting Go: Stepping Stones: Sabrina Spencer has it all—a loving husband, two wonderful children, and a successful career. So why does her husband think she's not as happy as she could be? Jonas knows that Sabrina should love her life, but as the stress of "having it all" wears on her, he knows he has to do something. Surprising her with a trip to Elysium, a kinkster's paradise, for their fifth anniversary seems like the perfect thing.

From the beginning, this trip seems doomed. First she rejects the gift. When he finally gets her there and she agrees to spend five days as his complete submissive, he thinks he can finally show her how she can truly have it all. At first Sabrina enjoys submitting to the man she loves, but when it becomes too much and she shuts down, Jonas must use everything in his arsenal to break through to the woman who holds the keys to his heart.
