Afterlight February 2026: Chains & Whips

Our Afterlight February theme is . . . CHAINS & WHIPS!⁠

Men I may not know, but chains and whips I know.

Our Afterlight February book is a standalone contemporary adult romance, and you’ll not want to miss it if you’re a fan of:

  • Workplace romances
  • Exploration of sub/Dom dynamics
  • Grumpy x Sunshine

Baby sub meets deliciously experienced Dom, the very stuff her dreams are made of. He shouldn’t even be entertaining the idea of spending one night with her, it’s so unlike him but she’s so ridiculously distracting. And honestly, what could possibly go wrong if they indulge in one single night? It’s not like they’ll soon discover they’re colleagues or something. Right? Right.
