“You’ll kneel for me without me having to tell you to. And when you do, you’ll feel so much better. Trust me.”
– Detective Sam Roberts

Officer Ryan Bennett: Ambitious and smart, Ryan Bennett is a young officer on Houston’s police force. He’s pursuing his dream of being promoted to the city’s elite SWAT team with a single mindedness that won’t accept any outcome but success. But that isn’t his only dream. Ryan wants more than a coveted position on SWAT. He wants to be owned by a strong Dominant. To give himself up to a Dom who will make him shudder with pleasure beneath a firm yet loving hand. Unfortunately, Ryan has had nothing but failure in that part of his life. Now, he’s hidden that dream away from everyone, including himself. And he refuses to let anyone close enough to see what he truly desires, and who he truly is.

Detective Sam Roberts: Cool and calm, Detective Sam Roberts is good at reading people, during the day as a detective and at night as a Dom. He easily sees past the hard layer of arrogance surrounding Officer Ryan Bennett to the hurt submissive hiding beneath. He wants to help Ryan, even though the stubborn young man resists him. But Sam isn’t one to back down from a challenge. He’s determined to help Ryan embrace the soft, giving nature of his submissive side. Using both a gentle hand and the sting of the whip, he’ll work to coax Ryan’s submission free. But what will Sam do if he’s successful? Let Ryan go as promised? Or give the young officer the very thing he’s wanted for so long?

Ryan stopped picking at the wax and met Sam’s eyes in the mirror. He didn’t say anything. He just stood there, looking at Sam’s reflection.

“Do you need-.” Sam stopped. Ryan was on the brink of … something. Sam knew what he said would either finally get him to open up or cause that hard shell to close even tighter around him. Remembering Ryan’s seeming aversion to needing someone, he asked instead, “Would you like some help?”

Ryan moved his head, the movement so slight it could barely be called a nod. If they hadn’t been staring at each other in the mirror, he would have missed it. Sam touched his fingertips to Ryan’s shoulder, waiting to see if he would be rejected. Ryan didn’t react, so Sam moved in closer. When he laid the warmth of his palm across his back, Ryan closed his eyes and shuddered. He gripped the countertop with both hands, his head hanging low.

“I don’t know how to let go,” he said in a voice hoarse with restrained despair.

Sam stepped forward again, moving close enough behind Ryan that he could wrap an arm around him. Ryan stood there for a second before he turned and leaned into his embrace. Sam looked at their reflection in the mirror. Ryan’s blond head was nestled against him, streaks of wax down his back. For the first time he looked truly vulnerable, just as Sam had wanted to see him all along. He stroked Ryan’s hair, pressing a kiss to the soft strands.

“I’ll show you, Ryan. All you have to do is trust me. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Christa Tomlinson, author of The Detective’s Pleasure.

Thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself, your background, and your current book.

What’s the best line you ever wrote?

I don’t know if it’s the best line, but my favorite, the one that stuck in my head is something Detective Sam Roberts says to Clay in The Sergeant: “I don’t know why you and Logan are apart, but you can’t submit to anyone else when your soul has already found its master.”

Do you listen to music while writing? If so, what kind?

Definitely! I find it tough to write without music. I pick a song based on the mood I’m trying to convey and listen to it on repeat while I write the scene. The Sergeant had a lot of Marilyn Mason and Nine Inch Nails. Bad Boys Need Love Too was Peaches and Joan Jett. The Detective’s Pleasure was Kings of Leon, Puddle of Mudd and the Black Snake Moan soundtrack.

If your book were made into a movie, what actors would you like to see star?

Matthew McConaughey is a perfect lead for Sam Roberts. As a good looking and clean cut blond, Ryan Bennett would have to be either Chord Overstreet or Randy Harrison.

What genres do you write in?

Right now I’m only doing m/m contemporary. But I’ve got something planned for a historical fantasy series in the near future.

Where and when do you prefer to write?

I prefer to write closed up in my warm and cozy study. Mornings are best for me to write because by three my mind starts to wander and by six my brain is tired and the focus is completely gone.
