The Submissive Wives Estate by Mrs. Darcy at Inkitt

Summary

The Shelsey Estate hides twisted ancient traditions- where love can be ruthless and submission was never a choice. Levi Shelsey VII, the enigmatic heir to The Estate, has always known his role: uphold the secretive traditions of his elite. When his thoughts are consumed by Charlotte, a maid with a mysterious allure, the carefully controlled balance of his life unravels. Torn between duty and desire, Levi must decide: obey tradition or give in to temptation. For Daniel Cross, a notorious Shelsey resident, charisma and power come naturally-dominance is a given. He is set to claim his "perfect" submissive wife to ascend to his rightful place in the community. That is until Whitney Cherry crashes into his life with her refusal to bend to his charms. Daniel is her ticket out of a life of struggle. But the domineering Mr. Cross proves to be more than just arrogant-he's everything she despises. And maybe everything she craves. As their dangerous game unfolds, Daniel must confront a terrifying truth: sometimes the one thing you can't control is the one thing you desire most. Callista Shelsey needs a husband to claim her inheritance, but the one she wants has always been Daniel. Her brother's choice of suitor seems perfect, but he isn't Mr. Cross. Plunging into The Estate's darker rituals, Callie finds herself falling for the man she never planned to love.

Author's Note/Content Warning

Hello beautiful reader,

I am new to Inkitt after gaining experience on Wattpad. My debut novel: Charted Territory and its sequel: Knee Deep were highly successful/beloved by my readers. Since then, I have begun a new series: The Submissive Wives Estate. I am excited to cross-post to Inkitt this time around. Updates on Wattpad will be faster due to my dedicated reader base there.

This is a mature story. My books would be considered Contemporary BDSM, Dark Romance + Modern Domestic Discipline Romance.

Content warnings include: adult/erotic themes, spankings, smut, discipline, imperfect Alpha MMCs, and submissive yet strong heroines. While my male leads are often enigmatic, dirty-talking, overprotective, controlling, and domineering, I still prefer elegance, swoon, softness, and female empowerment amidst the angst. None of my work would be considered pure dark romance nor will it be innocent and clean or without questionable twists.

There will be plot points that readers may find objectionable (including myself as a feminist to my core). However, I would love it if you cozied up and suspended your disbelief with my characters for now. If kink/centering on power exchanges is not your cup of tea, drink from other cups.

Fiction gives us an open door to live in places we may or may not want to visit again. Or we can at least say we are glad we only lived it through a book.
