The past two months I’ve been crazy busy, absolutely swamped. It led to me having to change my schedule, and shift things around. Unfortunately, it meant I could only do one Krampus book this year– and that one book was going to be much later than usual.
Luckily my editor was able to work with me and take the book in chunks as I finished it so that by the time I was done, I had the first edits back already, but the schedule was very tight. All the beta reviews and the arc reviews that have come in are positive and my editor felt the ending was absolutely perfect, so I feel confident everyone is going to love this book.
Plus, even though there’s only one Krampus this year… it is longer. I think it’s the longest in the series actually. Bear in mind that when I first planned two Krampus books per year they were supposed to be ‘short reads’ and I was planning on long novellas– not full-sized books.
Oops!
This book is a little darker in places, and the kinks are a little harsher sometimes. There’s lots of spanking of course, but also some choking, some degradation, orgasm denial, forced orgasms, all kinds of fun stuff and Aline (who he often calls zaychik/bunny) very obviously loves it all.
There are also some really sweet moments. Master is a bit clueless about what his human mate actually wants. He knows what she fantasizes about, but the rest of it is beyond him, so he makes mistakes.
Despite ‘saving her’ Aline is not a damsel and she’s quite ready to tell him off when he gets things wrong. He might call himself Master, but she’s no slave. Submissive with brat leanings I’d say.
Also, it’s really important that you appreciate the Yule Cat visit because writing that little scene made me giggle like an idiot. So, anyway… if you love paranormal romance with lots of kink and sex… you should check it out. And scroll down for a teaser. It’s not quite safe for work, but it won’t have you blushing in public either… probably.
Master Krampus
Book 6 of the Krampus Collective is now live and in #KU
https://books2read.com/u/mZpqq5
Each book stands alone and features a different type of dynamic.
*Paranormal Romance
*Grumpy/Sunshine
*White Knight with ulterior motives
*Graphic Kink and BD$M, especially spanking
*Monster Lover aspects (You know about the Krampus tongue… right?)
*A little choking, a little edging, a little humiliation… but a lot of sweet moments too.
He knows that she’s been a bad girl. He sees all those dirty little fantasies. And now he’s going to claim her as his mate.
When the failed delivery of an ominous package gets Aline in big trouble, she’s forced to run. But her escape leads her right into the arms of a mysterious Dominant stranger who’s willing to fix her problems. In exchange, she just has to agree to be his… forever.
But Aline really should have asked more questions before saying yes. She’s not just going home with a wealthy Dominant, she’s going home with the personification of punishment himself.
Krampus.
Each story is unique. Every book stands alone.
Once he was a solitary immortal. A creature out of nightmares. The embodiment of punishment. As humanity grew and spread across the globe, he split apart to keep the balance. Now there are twelve.
Each year some will step forward to begin the search for that one naughty sinner who fits their unique preferences. For the first time their discipline will be tempered with mercy and care.
They each have one year to find love with the human they choose. One year to convince that mate to stay. One year to punish, train, and cherish.

Not sure if you’re into it yet? Check out the Master Krampus teaser:
He sat back in his seat, folding his hands in his lap as he looked at her. “Your needs mirror mine. All those fantasies you have? For some women they would be just that—fantasies. For you… they are unfulfilled desires. You’ve been waiting for someone to open this world to you and your hunger called me.”
She shifted, trying to get comfortable on the hard floor, and avoided looking at him. “So, you want me because I might be kinky? I feel like you probably had other choices.”
“I did, but once I met you, I realized you were exactly what I needed.”
It didn’t make any sense to her. “So my secret fantasies and a five-minute conversation was it? That’s all it took for you to decide you wanted to be with me permanently?” She snorted. “You should have just tried online dating.”
He chuckled and the low liquid sound seemed to trickle through her body. She squirmed, squeezing her legs together as her clit pulsed. Everything he did was so damn sexy.
“It’s not quite that simple, Aline. I can see into people, into their souls. I know their character and the deepest parts of them that they never show people.”
Finally she looked up at him. “Really? So, what did you see in me?” She still wasn’t sure she believed he was some super-powered demon creature, but she was curious.
“Fear balanced with determination. Emotional pain, hunger. The need to be loved. You’re a bad girl who could be a very good girl if you were given the chance. Stubbornness. Loneliness. There’s a lot going on in there.” He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. “It’s a beautiful and very mortal mix, full of potential.”
She couldn’t really deny any of that and it was embarrassing because she did feel like he was looking deep inside of her. “I’m not afraid.”
It was a lie. She was afraid all the time, every day. Anyone would be with the world the way it was.
“It’s pointless to lie to me, zaychik. I always know and from now on lying will have consequences.”
“Consequences?” Her eyes narrowed. “Like what?”
“Things you won’t like. I think you have a punishment kink and the idea of it excites you. Your pussy is clenching right now, demanding to be filled, but I’ll warn you again… real punishment isn’t as fun as the fantasy.”
“I’m not excited.” The denial was automatic.
He moved so fast her eyes couldn’t even track the movement. Before she could react, his hand had fisted in the hair at the back of her neck. He pulled her up on her knees so abruptly that she had to brace herself on his thighs to keep from falling into his lap, and then was stuck in the awkward position.
“Don’t. Lie. To. Me.” He enunciated every word deliberately as he stared down into her face. His eyes glowed like hot coals.
Literally. They were impossibly red.
“S-sorry.” She swallowed hard.
“You will be. I like your fire and your stubbornness, but misbehavior will have consequences. I had planned a more pleasant welcome for you, but if you keep pushing, you’ll get a harsh introduction to punishment instead. I’ll enjoy it, but I don’t think you will.” He kept his grip on her for a moment longer, making sure she understood, and then released her with a shake.
She fell back, sprawling across the cushion. All she could think about was how her clit pulsed and the trickle of juices soaking her panties. How did he have so much power over her body? It was like he knew exactly what turned her on.
His threat, as much as it made her hot, also made her nervous. She believed him when he said she wouldn’t enjoy it. In the interest of easing away from that potentially unpleasant experience, she decided to try a different route: honesty.
“I didn’t mean to lie. I’m just… not used to talking about things like this. I’ve never told anyone my fantasies. It’s—embarrassing that you know so much about me, when I barely know you.”
“True, but that’s not going to save you. I’m not ‘anyone’; I’m Master, and you belong to me now, of your own free will. The sooner you learn that the happier you’ll be.” He paused and smiled tightly, showing no teeth.
“I will say I enjoy the taste of shame on you. It’s tangy with sour notes of citrus.” His tongue slid across his lips, as if savoring the flavor. He told her that Krampus fed off pain and fear, so maybe he was.
“You can actually taste that?”
He shifted in his seat, leaning forward. “I can taste everything you feel. Some, fear and pain, are necessary to sustain me. Others just provide flavoring.”
She shuddered a little as it occurred to her that he considered her food. “You’re… not going to eat me, are you?”
A laugh barked from him. “Only if you’re a good girl.”
There was a moment of panic before she realized it was innuendo and then she flushed. “I meant… I didn’t mean…”
There you go, consider yourself teased and go grab your copy!
