"This is not the Wonderland you remember from childhood"

Alice O'Brien is not having a good day. First she gets fired for not performing a sexual act on her boss. On the way home, she falls in a puddle, loses her keys, then she is splattered by a pigeon poop. Things couldn't possibly get worse. She opens her apartment door and hears noises coming from her bedroom, there she finds her fiancé in bed with another women and man. She had always wanted to be a submissive and here Jon was being the submissive to another man. She knows she is not a size 5 like her twin sister is, but what's wrong with being full-figured. She is tired of being dumped on. Sitting on a park bench after running out of her apartment, Alice tries to figure out what to do next. She just knows that she doesn't want to go back anytime soon to her apartment. When she sees a strange white rabbit, she follows it, and is transported into a strange new land.

Jarron, High King of Tarok, and the King of Hearts, must save his kingdom. Tarok is a land divided into four kingdoms, each ruled by one of four brothers. Jarron is the oldest, and that makes him High King. The people of Tarok have the ability to shapeshift into white striped tigers. Because of a twenty-year curse, the women of the land have lost the ability to conceive. Jarron must find his Queen and teach her the things needed to be bonded as his mate. When Jarron first lays eyes on Alice, he is thrilled, he loves her figure. Can she be trained as a submissive? But the hardest lesson for her will be to learn to love herself and her body.

Alice is finally about to have all her fantasies fulfilled, but is real life as good as what she dreamed? Can she trust Jarron with her heart as well as her body? What about the sister she left behind? Will she ever see her again?

KING OF HEARTS is a variation of Alice in Wonderland with a few twists. This is the story of a dominant king and the training of his Queen to be submissive. McCray has the ability to create a world where BDSM is the norm and make it perfectly logical. I can hardly wait to read the stories for each brother.
