The racy fan fiction trilogy The Submissive as well as author Tara Sue Me’s first book of her Fire series have been acquired by New American Library (NAL). Author Me posted the good news on her website, saying: “I met with the Penguin team a few weeks ago and trust me when I say the books could not be in better hands.”
The trilogy (think Fifty Shades of Grey) consists of The Submissive, The Dominant, and The Training. The first print edition of The Submissive is planned for the US and UK on June 4, 2013 followed by The Dominant on August 6th. The Training will be released on October 1, 2013.
“Tara Sue Me writes the kind of erotic romance people want today, and she does it better than most anyone else we’ve seen. She’s been a sensation online for years, and it’s time for the mainstream audience to discover and enjoy her works,” stated Claire Zion, Vice President and Editorial Director of NAL.
The Submissive was originally published as fan fiction in 2009. After being posted on the fanfiction.net site, the story generated 3+ million views.
The Submissive Plot:
Abby King has a secret fantasy.
New York City knows Nathaniel West as the brilliant and handsome CEO of West Industries, but Abby knows he’s more. He’s also a dominant, and when she hears he’s looking for a new submissive, she applies for consideration. She’s a complete novice, but Abby yearns to experience a world of pleasure beyond her simple life as a librarian.
After one weekend with the skilled Master, Abby knows she needs more, and she fully submits to Nathaniel’s terms. He’s pleased by her willing spirit, yet her attempts to reach the man behind the rules are met with coolness.
As Abby falls in deeper, she fears Nathaniel’s heart is non-negotiable. But can she salvage her own before it’s too late?
