The third date is a banned-books night in a crowded craft brewery.
By then, Tess and Greg have already spent eight hours talking over lunch, shared a kiss against a brick wall after a live band, and reached the point where the polite versions of themselves are beginning to fall away.
Then Tess tells him what she does after dark.
She writes filth. Greg reads every word she sends him and then asks, he asks the last thing Tess expects, “Would you like to meet your Master?”
ARC applications are now open for Dirty Goddess by Selina James-Kyle, a full-length standalone erotic romance told through two connected narratives.
Tess and Greg begin exploring their own negotiated power exchange, while the story Tess is writing follows Frankie, a young submissive entering a two-year contract with a married couple inside a speculative kink society.
What happens on the page begins changing what happens between Tess and Greg. Frankie’s arrangement also refuses to remain as simple as the contract that began it. Feelings deepen, rules shift, and another person is waiting at the edge of the story.
Release date: 22 August 2026
ARC sendout: 14 August 2026
Distribution: Kindle Unlimited
Format: Full-length standalone erotic romance
Some stories are best read with one hand free. Others demand you surrender control entirely.
Tess is leaving her law firm to start her own practice. Five years post-divorce, she wants a lover who wants exactly what she wants. Greg is looking for something genuine. By their third date at a local craft brewery, the chemistry is undeniable. By their fourth, Tess confesses exactly what she does after dark.
She writes filth. Precise, wildly inventive, unashamed filth.
Her stories explore a world of licensed power, following Frankie, a brilliant young submissive who signs away two years of her life to a married couple. Frankie is collared, locked in chastity, and fed from a bowl on the kitchen floor. It is a fantasy of absolute submission, and Greg reads every single word.
Instead of running, he looks at Tess and asks the one question she never expected.
“Would you like to meet your Master?”
What begins as a game on the page becomes an intoxicating real-world arrangement. As Tess and Greg explore their own negotiated surrender, Frankie’s story moves with them. Her characters are falling in love, the rules are changing, and a fourth player is waiting at the end of a poker table with plans of his own.
Dirty Goddess is a full-length, standalone erotic romance featuring a dual narrative, intense dominance and submission, master/pet play, and polyamory. No cliffhangers. Just real contracts, working safewords, and characters who never apologize for what they desire.

Dirty Goddess is open-door throughout, and the kink is central to the reading experience. It includes explicit f/f, m/f and group sexual content; consensual non-consent inside a signed-contract framework; human pet play; collaring, leashing, crawling, cages, muzzles, mittens and public display; watersports and bladder desperation; chastity, orgasm denial and prolonged edging; corporal punishment that leaves marks; crying; humiliation, objectification, verbal degradation and condescension; confinement in cages and locked, sound-proofed rooms; carceral themes, involuntary detention and tagging; emotional distress; remote monitoring; restrictions on speech; partner sharing; and sustained loss of bodily autonomy within the inner story.
One sequence involves a resisting character being chased, held down by four people, restrained, silenced and left in a cage overnight while others watch. The book also includes nipple clamps, spreader bars, armbinders, handcuffs, blindfolds and sensory restriction; cannabis and alcohol use; and a second-hand account of a male pet being feminised and mocked, which the story itself identifies as bullying. A cattle prod is mentioned as a trainer’s tool and appears in one character’s fantasy, but it is not used on the page.
Every participant is an adult. There is no underage content, incest or bestiality. The pet dynamic is roleplay between consenting adults from beginning to end, with contracts, advocates, safewords and exit provisions established inside the story’s speculative setting.
Please read these warnings carefully and make the decision that works for you. There is no expectation that every ARC opportunity will suit every reader.
Selina James-Kyle is the author of Dirty Goddess, an erotic romance written for adult readers who want the kink to remain central rather than being softened into the background. The book brings explicit power exchange, humour, consent, aftercare and polyamorous relationships into the same story, while allowing its characters to be clear about what they want.
As Selina puts it, this book is best suited to filthy kinksters with loving hearts and a sense of humour, particularly readers who understand the difference between fantasy and reality.
