Doms of the Cage

Series FAQ

Is the Doms of the Cage series complete?

Yes. The core series is complete at 10 books plus 2 prequels, with the Break Even trilogy (3 books) continuing the story in a more global, espionage-driven direction. That's 13 titles in total, all currently available.

  1. 1Take My Hand
  2. 2Our First Dance (prequel — read after Take My Hand)

Do I have to read them in order?

Each book stands alone and can be read independently, but reading in order is highly recommended — subplots and character connections build across the series, especially the espionage thread that pays off in the Break Even trilogy.

How steamy are the books?

Explicit — around an 8–9 on the heat scale. These are detailed, on-page BDSM/power-exchange scenes, but always in service of the story and characters, never in place of one. If you want plot with your heat, this series is written for you.

What tropes and themes should I expect?

Power exchange, training Dom/sub relationships, an authentic introduction to the BDSM lifestyle, boundaries and consent, earning trust, found-family and club community, and redemption/healing arcs. Readers who know the genre have specifically praised the authenticity here — it's grounded in how power exchange actually works, not just surface-level kink.

Do the books have happy endings?

Yes — every full-length, main-numbered novel ends in a genuine HEA (happily ever after). The two prequel novellas (Our First Dance, The Rehabilitation of Master Dillon) and the first two Break Even books end on a hopeful note (HFN) rather than full resolution, building toward a payoff later in the series — the prequels' story threads resolve as the main series continues, and the Break Even trilogy's ending arrives in Book III.

Is this series for everyone?

Honestly — no, and that's okay. This series explores BDSM and power-exchange dynamics in real detail. If that's not your thing, this probably isn't the series for you, no judgment at all. If it is, welcome to The Cage.

Where is the series set?

Vancouver, Canada, centered around The Cage, an exclusive BDSM club. The Break Even trilogy expands into a more global, international-espionage storyline while keeping its roots in the same world and characters.

If I like [comp author], will I like this series?

If you enjoy Cherise Sinclair or Tiffany Reisz, Doms of the Cage should be right up your alley — same commitment to authentic power-exchange dynamics, same blend of heat and heart.

Where can I start for free?

Take My Hand, Book 1, is free — the best way to step into The Cage and see if the series is for you.

Is any of the writing in this series AI-generated?

No. Every word in the Doms of the Cage series was written by P Nelson — the entire series was completed and published before AI writing tools like ChatGPT existed. The authenticity readers keep coming back to, the real understanding of power exchange and Dom/sub dynamics, the character voices — that's all her, built over years of writing this world. Nothing here was generated, assisted, or polished by AI.
