Game Plan
The
Game Plan Series Book 1
by
Breanna Hayse


Genre:
Contemporary Romance 

The
book that began the Contemporary Age-Play Phenomenon is Back and it's
BIGGER AND BETTER than EVER!

#1
Multi-Genre Best Selling Author Breanna Hayse brings you The Game
Plan:
A
story of love, hope, healing and discipline under the power of an
age-play relationship.
***
After
being abandoned by her father, twenty-year old Cassandra Johnson
fought against being loved by anyone. Even after her mother married
ex-Dolphins Quarterback Big Bill Johnson, she resisted every attempt
to become part of her new family. Her resistance includes any
interaction with the older Johnson boys who seem to enjoy nothing
more than bossing her around. After the sudden passing of her mother,
Cassie grows tired of living under the thumb of her dominating family
and decides to press for independence. She starts by asserting her
obstinate and willful disposition and defying all rules laid out for
her. 
When
Bill goes to Japan for three months on business, he leaves Rob, the
oldest of his sons, in charge. After the deliberate breaking of
several house rules and multiple temper tantrums, Rob decides that a
change to the "Game Plan" is necessary to bring Cassie
under control to prevent her from hurting herself. The first thing on
his list is taking the brat for a well-deserved trip over his knee
for a bare bottom spanking! 
Over
the years, Rob had watched Cassie grow from an awkward little girl to
a beautiful young woman. He struggles with his feelings when his
interest in Cassie goes far beyond just curbing her naughty behavior.
Her dream of having a life free from control is soon shattered when
Bryon, the second oldest of the Johnson boys, adds some firm-handed
discipline of his own.
The
stubborn young woman soon finds herself facing more than just an
old-fashioned, over the knee, bare-bottom spanking. She quickly
learns that the Age-play lifestyle can lead to the healing of a
long-broken and hardened heart. Even though she immerses herself in
the joyful role of being Rob and Bryon’s Little girl, she wonders
if she is truly wired for the type of relationship that they offer
her. She also questions her ability to accept being Rob’s ‘big
girl’ and give him what he longs for by becoming a true submissive.

grow together in Age-play and BDSM relationships.


You’ll
meet Krissy, Bryon’s sweet little girl, as she is introduced to the
concept of age play and discovers herself in the process. Suzanne and
Glenn are back, and Suzanne explores her own femininity and puts
pride aside to face her fears and needs as a Domme. Of course, we
can’t forget Rob and Cassie as they grow and indulge in their own
D&S lifestyle. Worlds collide as Cassie and Krissy fight over
Daddy Bryon, Bryon and Glenn fight over Suzanne, and Rob seems to be
the only voice of reason that is heard. And that's just the
beginning...

consenting adults. If you enjoy this genre, please check out many

The
End Zone
The
Game Plan Series Book 3

The
#1 Best Selling Age-Play Author who launched the world-wide
contemporary Age-Play Phenomenon with The Game Plan and Time Out,
brings you

THE
END ZONE
***
Life
was like a Chocolate Mousse Parfait for Cassie Johnson—especially
since entering the BDSM lifestyle with the two alpha male brothers,
Rob and Bryan. Her Dom and her Daddy Dom give her everything her
Little heart desires—love, attention, pleasure, guidance and even
discipline. They both belong to her, in and out of the bedroom, and
her life finally feels stable, satisfying and secure. But then her
happiness takes a turn when Daddy Bryon announces the probability
that he will make his relationship with his girlfriend, Krissy, a
permanent one. Throwing salt on her wounds, Cassie learns that both
her Doms are interest in sharing her wonderful world with Krissy!
The
Little Green Monster is let loose as the young woman faces the pain
of being pushed aside and replaced. Devastated when her Little mode
is carelessly ordered to ‘grow up,’ she decides to end BDSM,
Age-Play and her engagement to Rob. Nothing, or no one, will change
her mind.
Except
for Dorian Graye, the Whip Master and the ‘king’ of the BDSM
community. 
Distraught
by Cassie’s withdrawal, Rob and Bryon decide to take her to meet
their mentor. Cassie can’t resist either Dorian’s charm or his
raw ability to read into her needs, and instantly sinks into her
Little place. The powerful Dom and his beautiful wife, Meredith, take
her under their wing to teach her how to release her fears and open
herself to play, passion, and freedom. 
Self-doubt
disappears in the presence of her new aunt and uncle. Cassie
discovers the love of a BDSM family, all of which are equally happy
to put her across the knee for a humiliating, bare bottom spanking as
they are to spoil her with stuffies and ice-cream sundaes. The more
she releases her Little to them, the greater the joy and freedom she
receives.
She
has only one concern, and that is if the magic spell of Graye Manor
will disappear after they return home. There she must face the
likelihood that both her Little space and her men will be shared with
the other Little girl. Is her Little ready for such a Big step?










Touchdown
The
Game Plan Series Book 4

Breanna
Hayse, the #1 Multi-Genre Best-Selling author and founder of the
contemporary Age-Play Phenomena, brings you BOOK 4 of the beloved
Game Plan Series! TOUCHDOWN

****
Following
the unannounced departure as the two older Johnson boys take their
shared sub on vacation during Spring Break (End Zone, Book 3),
Kristina Barker is left feeling abandoned, disposable and hurt. A
vague text message from her boyfriend/Dom, Bryon, makes her question
the reality of everything she had grown to love—including
him. 

Being
home alone while the other three explore the pleasures offered at
Graye Manor wasn’t what she signed up for when she agreed to become
part of the BDSM household. Heartbroken and discouraged, she turns to
Domme Suzanne Bichat and discovers that her age-play aunt is also
struggling with her relationship with Glenn, the youngest of the
Johnson boys.

Both
women decide that a change is in order, starting with a no limit/no
restriction evening of action and adventure at a local bar—and no
boyfriends or alpha males are around to stop them! However, too many
drinks and a bout with a stripper-pole results in Suzanne’s
ex-husband being summoned to drag the inebriated Domme from the club
with little Krissy in tow. Sir Douglas Bichat, a handsome Brit and an
honored dominant of The Gentlemen’s Club (TGC), employs his special
skills as a loving, but firm, Daddy Dom and brings a sense of
security and value to the two hurt girls.

Even
while trapped in an unspoken love triangle with his ex-wife, and
tormented by his own desire for her, Doug hold true to TGC’s Code
of Conduct and places Suzanne’s needs above his own. With Krissy’s
help, he finds a way to draw Glenn into the mix and ensure Suzanne’s
happiness.

Little
does he know that a void in his heart would soon be filled as the
four of them grow into a family based on old-fashioned values and
loving discipline. With Krissy as a niece, Glenn as his mentee, and,
surprisingly, Suzanne as a Middle, Doug’s hands are happily filled
with teddy bears, model ships, ice-cream cones, sand castles, and an
occasional paddle to be applied to a cheeky bottom.

The
week of Spring Break transforms each of them as the past is revealed,
the future is uncertain, and the present exposes lust, temptation,
unbridled sexual delights, and regrets. With the support of her new
‘parents’ and ‘brother,’ Krissy prepares for Bryon’s return
home where he will be confronted with the truth and a decision that
could permanently shatter the foundation of love and trust.

YES!
There is more!
Be
watching for Rob and Cassie’s wedding at Graye Manor, a shocking
surprise, and the reunion of two amazing Doms in Book 5- Unnecessary
Roughness!

In

BDSM/AP
lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and
reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange
lifestyle.

Who
am I?
I'm
a native Californian gone 'wild', and had the opportunity to travel
the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine
Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to
go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a
marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative
lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique
inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable
characters.

In
2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both
submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving.
Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and
mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.

My
first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door
to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time,
I've devoted my 'spare' time to writing, researching, community
involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant
behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.

I
was formally 'dungeon trained' as a Domme before discovering my
submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled
primarily from either personal experience or observation, including
spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My
multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and
give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of
fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of
the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on
'the real deal.'

I
live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and
two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S
relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear),
and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies
include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John
can't find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and
developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured
author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a
Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.
