Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m Ella Jade. I create tales of sexy, dominating men and the women who know how to challenge them in and out of the bedroom. I tend to blend BDSM themes into steamy romances.
What genre do you write?
I write contemporary, erotic romances.

Please tell us about your latest release Surrender to Me and how you came up with the idea.
Surrender to Me is the story about a Dominant who has lost his way. He no longer feels fulfilled in his lifestyle and he wonders what life has to offer him. When he meets his sassy, no-so-submissive attorney things really start to heat up. Surrender to Me is the sequel to Make Me Stay but both books stand alone. Martin was featured in one chapter of Make Me Stay but I knew he had a story that had to be told.
Is it part of a series?
Yes, this is book 2 of 4 in what I like to call the Master M Collection. All books can be read in any order.

A must have snack while you write.
Starbucks Iced Tea Lemonade.
If you had to choose a favorite book that you’ve written, which would it be?
I know I shouldn’t have favorites, but Something More holds a special place in my heart. I think it’s the character of Brody that does it for me. Every woman should have a Brody. ;)
Advice to writers who have yet to be published.
Don’t give up. This is not an easy profession. There’s lots of rejection but if you really know in your heart you are meant to be a storyteller keep trying.
Is there a genre you haven’t written yet that you want to?
I’ve recently ventured into the paranormal genre. I’m hoping to have something out soon. I have several ideas and can’t wait to get them written.
What type of hero do you enjoy writing about?
Strong, sexy, hot, dominant and totally alpha. I like a man who knows what he wants in and out of the bedroom. He should also be just the right amount of dirty too.
Thanks so much for having me. I’ve included the trailer link for Surrender to Me, too.

Martin Abrams, owner of Master M’s BDSM club, has become unfulfilled with his lifestyle. Ever since his sub, Gracie, left to marry her true love, Martin has lost his way. Living the life of the head Dominant in his circle isn’t as appealing as it once was. Something seems to be missing.
Sassy lawyer Arianna Covington relocates to New York City after a humiliating divorce. She’s looking for a fresh start when she agrees to become Martin’s exclusive attorney. She’s intrigued by his domineering personality and wants to know why women kneel at his feet.
Their attraction is undeniable despite Ari’s initial beliefs that she will never submit to Martin’s desires. But Martin is up for the challenge. Arianna is more than he ever imagined in a woman. He vows to claim her heart, with or without the games. Who will surrender first?
Featuring Cade and Gracie from Make Me Stay.

"Do all the subs act that way around you?" Arianna asked.
"It's the only way they know. It's what's expected of them."
"I don't understand how any woman would bow down like that. It's not normal."
"Maybe not for you." Martin understood Arianna's position. Most who didn't participate in a Dominant and submissive relationship didn't get it.
"It's degrading. She can't use the phone. She's a grown woman."
"Arianna, this is a lifestyle you can't possibly comprehend because you know nothing about it. A submissive gets just as much as he or she gives. The arrangement they enter into with a Dom is consensual. Roxy is not forced into being here. Her Dom respects and cares for her. She has a very good life."
"He punishes her."
"When she disobeys. It's in her contract."
"A contract that can't possibly be enforced in court."
"Spoken like a true lawyer." He finished his scotch. "The contract is to protect them both. It lists what is expected of a sub and what the Dominant's responsibilities are. They outline hard and soft limits. We create a safe, sane, and consensual environment, and that contract maintains trust between the two parties. As long as it is upheld between the parties involved that's all that matters."
"To each his own, I suppose." She shrugged. "I'm your real estate attorney. What you do here is none of my business."
Then why are you here, kitten?
"I'm very open, Arianna. If you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them. People should be educated in my lifestyle. It isn't as uncommon or bizarre as you may think." He reached for her hand. "I hope you won't judge me without getting to know me."
"Um, no." She looked down at their joined hands. He liked the way her cheeks turned colors when he flustered her. "Of course not. This whole environment is different. It's going to take some getting used to."
"I understand." He ran his thumb over the soft skin of her hand. "If you'd prefer not to meet here anymore—"
"It's not a problem."
"Very well." He smiled because as he suspected she wanted to be there. "Will you join me for dinner?"
Martin couldn't remember the last time he'd asked a woman to have dinner with him. He usually just summoned a sub when he was in the mood for company. Gracie was the last woman he'd spent any time with at all. Perhaps it was time to explore his options. Obviously, Arianna would be different than the women he dealt with, but he liked the change. When Gracie left him for Cade everything changed. He hadn't been interested in another sub. As a matter of fact, he hadn't been interested in another woman until now.
"I'd love to join you for dinner, Mr. Abrams."
"I'd like you to call me Martin." Allowing people to use his name wasn't a privilege he granted often, but everything was different with her. He stood from the bar and picked up her briefcase. "I hope you like Italian. I ordered enough for six people. I wasn't sure what you would want."
"Italian is fine." She took his extended hand and walked to the back of the club with him. "Why didn't you just wait and ask what I would want?"
"I'm not used to asking." He motioned for her to take a seat in the huge u-shaped booth that overlooked the Manhattan skyline.
"Oh, Martin." She giggled. He liked the way his name tumbled off her lips. "You have a lot to learn about non-submissive women."

Can the sub teach the Dom to play?
Natural submissive Gracie Miller thought she had found her other half in Cade Jameson. Not only did he help her through a difficult time in her life, in the bedroom he brought her more pleasure than she could have ever imagined. They seemed perfect for each other.
Cade knew what he wanted in the bedroom. Gracie brought out his domineering side and ignited his passion. But he feared he was too dominant for this beautiful, naïve girl, who was so young and impressionable, so he ended their relationship.
Two and a half years later, Gracie returns to town a new woman. She had moved to the city and found a "Master" who showed her what she was truly capable of. Now she's back and wants to show Cade exactly what kind of submissive she could be for him.
But after hearing all that she's experienced, Cade now wonders if he's dominant enough to satisfy her. Can he be the man Gracie needs him to be?
