One struggling single mom resorts to hiring an online Dom to know what it feels like for someone to take care of her for once—only to realize he’s the rugged lumbersnack leading her kid’s summer camp.

Lindsey Clark is a single mom doing her best to stay afloat. Between nursing shifts and legal bills, she barely has time to breathe—let alone date. One night, after too much wine and social media scrolling, she stumbles on the anonymous account of @DomInTheWoods. His voice? Commanding. His faceless profile? Hot. And Lindsey? Intrigued enough to email him.

Dane Woods is a professional Dom who keeps his identity private and his boundaries firm. He offers structure, discipline, and control—but nothing physical, nothing emotional. No exceptions…even for his tantalizing new sub, Lindsey, he can’t stop thinking about. But when Dane steps in to run a kids’ camp as a favor to a friend, the last person he expects to see is Lindsey. Now that their worlds have collided, the lines between professional and personal start to blur. Maybe some boundaries are meant to be axed.

  • "Kayla Grosse turns up the heat in this gloriously kinky and tender romance where sparks—and axes—fly. Equal parts sexy and heartwarming, this lumbersnack-meets-single-mom love story was exactly the read I've been craving."
    Allie Oleander, author of Willing Prey
  • "Nobody else is writing emotionally rich, self-empowering, and addictively spicy romance like Kayla Grosse. Axe Marks the Spot is contemporary romance at its finest. Kayla’s writing feels incredibly real and escapist all at once, and her ability to create deep, loving connections through intimacy, chemistry, and kink is unparalleled. The spice is unspeakably hot but also reveals who Lindsey and Dane are, their desires, the ways they can grow, and how kink and trust go hand in hand. Axe Marks the Spot is a cozy masterclass in self-discovery, and it left me (very much an indoor girl) wanting to move to Starlight Haven to find a Lumbersnack of my own. I absolutely adore this book."
    Rebecca Kinkade, author of The Art of Revenge
  • "Kayla knows exactly how to make readers swoon endlessly and blush profusely, with an extra helping of lumbersnack contained within these pages to devour."
    Elliott Rose, author of Chasing the Wild
  • “Kayla has a way of blending raw emotion with irresistible spice.”
    Bailey Hannah, author of Alive and Wells
