Dominance and submission. The delicate balance between hurts so good and too hot to handle. They’re not just kinky trends for the members of The Enclave, a tight-knit group gathering in a Gilded Age mansion secluded in the North Carolina mountains.

Come Closer...

For Erin Proctor, life has always been about working hard, creating stability, and succeeding. She plays it safe, watching from a distance. Then she encounters an unpredictable, sensual world she’s always known was there, but didn’t believe she could belong to.

Walt Easton is straightforward and unpretentious, a big, earthy man in possession of himself—and a fierce set of solid leather floggers. Once he and Erin meet, their attraction is undeniable. Walt wants a full relationship, not just fun in the playroom. Their kinky adventures can be negotiated later.

They've finally found a relationship that can let them explore who they fully are. But can Walt accept that while he's in charge in their private lives, when it comes to her job, Erin is the one in charge? Will Erin take the risk of letting down her walls and allowing Walt in all the way?

The biggest risk, after all, isn’t mixing pain and pleasure. It’s finding yourself—in love.

The first book of The Enclave series will bring you Closer to your desire.

Erin Proctor has always had a tight grip on control.  Everything in her life has gone as planned – her education and her dedication to her career.  So when she recognizes that her dental hygienist is wearing a “collar” with her pristine uniform - she cannot help but be fascinated.

Claire introduces her to a small but intricately woven society where she can explore her deepest desires.  And on her first night, she encounters a man who is equal parts strength and gentleness – raw sensuality and grace.
“You smell good,” he said in a husky voice so soft it could only be just for me, and his lips skated over the contours of my ear.

“I noticed it last night. Before Claire told me your name, I knew what your skin smelled like.”

 I nodded, and my temple nudged at his. “I watched you with her.”

“I know.”

“I wanted to be her,” I said, and flinched as soon as I’d confessed it. In the weeks prior
to going to Area 51 with Claire, I’d never given her a true and complete account of what my interests were. I’d never said them out loud. Walt’s eyes came in line with mine as his head turned. He slid my glasses off and set them on the small table beside us.


“I know.”
Walt Easton is a walking contradiction.  He’s physically intimidating but with an underlying current of tenderness.  He can expertly wield a flogger to bring a submissive to their knees and then gently hold a butterfly.  His past has made him distrustful of subs that are only in for a quick thrill.  But when he meets Erin, they embark on a sensual journey that will challenge everything they thought they knew and redefine what it means to fall in love.
“You are—”

“—so beautiful,” he said, his voice mingling with mine. We smiled at each other, a little self-conscious, and he tipped his head toward mine.

“You are.”

“You are, Sir.”

“You…” He inhaled, deep, from behind my ear. “God. You, you, you.”
Closer and Closer is not at all what I expected.  It’s BDSM – with soul.  Jenna digs deep into each and every one of her characters and creates a connection between them that is as seductive as it is unique.  It’s not just a bunch of rich kinksters getting together on a Saturday night.  There is a tangible connection and I found myself wanting to be a part of their inner circle. 

Erin’s desire for submission is far more mental than physical and although the love scenes are absolutely searing – it the heart of the story that is pure perfection…

Wow!!!!! I'm beyond words. As Erin says in Closer: "Can't think. Just wow." :)
