Tender Control Series

When all a sub craves is pleasure, submission, and wonderful pain, Bound & Controlled is the place to find everything they’ve ever dreamed of and more.

The main Tender Control series is under Shaw Montgomery but two additional books are published under MA Innes. On this page you’ll find the suggested reading order.

Each book can be read as a standalone, but they are best read in order.

Bound With You

Keeping a roof over his family’s heads has been Landon’s only goal for years. Hard work and multiple jobs kept them afloat, but it didn’t leave much time for self-reflection or a social life. Now that their finances are secure and he can finally have a life of his own, he’s left wondering one thing…now what?

The solemn young man with the tattoos and temptingly placed jewelry might not know what he wants, or even if he’s a sub, but something about him pulls at Porter.

With his world in limbo after the sale of his business, Porter isn’t sure what to do next. For years, building his company was the only thing on his mind, but now, when all he has left is an empty life and too much time on his hands, Porter is left wondering one thing…now what?

When two men come to a crossroads, they’ll have to come together to finally discover what they were really meant to find in life…love.

Bound To You

Sometimes you just have to go after what you want…even if that’s to submit.

Asa has always known he wanted a Master to serve and love…but finding someone he can trust has turned out to be his biggest stumbling block. Why no one has patience any longer is his biggest question…right up until he sees a man across the room at the Bound & Controlled club. Suddenly, all he needs to know in life is the identity of the familiar man with the compelling stare.

When a blast from the past shows up in the most unexpected place, Stuart knows he has some decisions to make. Asa has always seen things just a little bit differently, and Stuart can’t imagine letting him navigate the club or the lifestyle alone. But is he really the right man for the sweet boy with the troubled past?

Sometimes it takes two slightly broken souls to form one perfect love.

A Leap of Faith

Something’s coming between them, but Harper can’t even begin to guess what’s wrong with his relationship with Bailey.

Well, their almost relationship. When their only interactions are during scenes at the Bound & Controlled club, Harper can’t help but wonder if he even has the right to ask why Bailey is pulling away.

Bailey’s got a secret, and it’s eating away at him and his relationship with his Dom-with-benefits Harper. It doesn’t matter how he feels about Harper or what he envisions for their future, because Harper’s made one thing clear: he doesn’t like littles.

When assumptions and crossed wires erode a relationship, it’ll take a leap of faith to fix what’s broken.

Author's Note:

While the Tender Control world is under the Shaw side of my world, this sweet age play book is definitely an M.A. Innes story.

My books as Shaw Montgomery are the more traditional side of BDSM, and my books as M.A. Innes are filled with sweet age play and fun things like puppy play. Since A Leap of Faith straddled both sides, I decided to put it under both names.

A Leap of Faith was originally included in the Dirty Daddies Pride Anthology in 2021, and no material changes have been made to the story. While it can be read as a standalone, it is book 2.5 in the timeline and takes place at the same time as Bound to You.

Bound For You

Life takes unexpected turns; Ridley knows that better than anyone. But no matter what life sends his way and how hard he has to work to keep his new family together, nothing is going to throw a wrench in his plans…not even the handsome, commanding older man who sends his heart racing and makes him want things he can’t have.

Life takes unexpected turns, but that doesn’t mean Warner likes leaving things up to fate. Just when he thinks that the man of his dreams has slipped through his fingers, Mr. Right turns up on his doorstep with pizza, a smile, and an interesting no-strings-attached proposition, leaving Warner with one simple question: what if he needs the strings?

Daddy Loves Confidence

When friends fix you up, it’s either going to be a spectacular failure or a fascinating first date. Unfortunately for Arthur, it’s the owners of the Bound & Controlled club who fix him up and his first date is an email. So it’s going to be a fascinating failure?

Joseph knows his terrible schedule and long work trips make meeting people difficult…and they make meeting Daddies even harder. But after months of exchanging emails with the sweet Dom with a dry sense of humor, he’s starting to wonder if he’s finally found the Daddy of his dreams…one who’s funny and completely supports his passion for cereal and comfort food.

Any man who mails you cereal is a keeper, right?

Bound Between You

Keegan hasn’t had the best luck with Doms or dating, but he’s not letting that stop him from finding Mr. Right…or maybe that should be Mr. Flirty and Mr. Stern but Sexy. When a promise leads him to the Bound & Controlled club, his artistic nature can’t help being pulled to two very different Doms, but who says he has to pick just one?

Julian and Niall know they’re no good for each other. They’ve been down that path, and all they found was frustration and baggage. But when a too-sweet-for-his-own-good artist bounces into the club, they have to decide if they’re willing to let the past get in the way of what could be a perfect future.

Sometimes love is easy…sometimes love is hard…but it’s always worth fighting for.
