I can tell you 'On Her Knees' isn't part of any larger universe. The narrative structure doesn't reference other works, and the world-building is tailored specifically for this story's setting. What's interesting is how the author manages to create such rich backstories for side characters without setting up spin-offs.
If you're craving more interconnected dark romances though, check out the 'Devil's Night' series by Penelope Douglas. Those books weave together multiple character perspectives across installments, giving that expansive universe feel 'On Her Knees' deliberately avoids. The standalone approach here actually works better—it lets the toxic relationship dynamics play out fully without dilution.
After analyzing the publishing details and author interviews, 'on her knees' was clearly designed as a one-off. The pacing is too tight for a series, cramming all the obsessive passion and redemption into a single volume. Unlike serialized romances that tease future couple pairings, every side character here serves the main relationship's development.
What makes this stand out is how it condenses what other books stretch into trilogies. The psychological depth rivals 'The Risk' by Elle Kennedy, another great standalone. If you liked the raw intensity here, 'Vicious' by L.J. Shen offers similar power-play romance without sequel bait.
I recently checked out 'On Her Knees' and can confirm it's a standalone novel. The story wraps up neatly without any cliffhangers or loose ends that suggest a sequel. The author focuses on a complete character arc for the protagonist, which makes it satisfying as a single read. If you're into dark romance with intense emotional depth, this one delivers without needing follow-ups. For similar vibes, try 'Corrupt' by Penelope Douglas—it has that same gritty, obsessive love story feel but is also self-contained.

PAIN AND PLEASURE: The BDSM SERIES
Book 1: Classroom Punishment
Will
No one knows that the professor who commands the entire class is the same woman I control completely. The same classroom where she teaches, becomes the place where I punish her after everyone’s gone.
Iva
I’ve always known about my dark desires, to be controlled, to be punished, but I never imagined one of my own students would be the one to fulfill them. As he tests my limits and takes control, we both find ourselves falling deeper… every single day.
***
“Professor, you know I don’t repeat myself. Open your legs now, or I’ll put you over my lap and spank you. Is that what you want, your students discovering that their strict professor is a submissive?”
Fuck! Why do his warnings always turn me on instead of pissing me off?
This time, I splay my legs, trying not to provoke him further. I quickly glance around. Thankfully, everyone is too busy working on their test to notice anything. My breath catches as his hand slips between my thighs, under the desk.
***
She was never supposed to want him.
He was never supposed to touch her.

If they are discovered, she will lose her career.
If they walk away, they will lose each other.
She spent three years faking moans for a boyfriend who never made her come. One night, one stranger in a mask, and she finally learns what it means to be wrecked against a wall.

He’s her professor.
And he’s not done teaching her.
Not every fantasy is gentle.

And these stories? They come with teeth.
Behind closed doors and under tight sheets, women surrender to the hunger they’re not supposed to have… and the men who know exactly how to feed it.
From a gynecologist who crosses the line with a patient who wants more than a check-up…

Open the book.
The pain was intense, a slow-building agony that seemed to consume her entire being. She felt her soul slipping away, her body broken and battered. Coughing, she looked up at the moonless sky, wishing for a second chance to rewrite her destiny and avenge her parents' deaths. If only there were a God up there, but she knew it was pointless. She could feel her life slipping through her fingers. And when death came, she didn't fight it. She closed her eyes as the footsteps got louder, giving up.
….
Zeph gave her all to Lysander, a man she had believed saved her life, only to realize too late, that she was mistaken. Abused and tortured by her supposed perfect husband, she died, only to get a second chance to seek revenge on those who hurt her.
However, things started going awry from the first night she met her ex-husband. The man who had always been a devil was now different, almost like an entirely new person. And the truth she thought she knew didn't seem like it anymore.
'Beneath Her Surface' caught my attention. From what I gathered, it seems to be a standalone story rather than part of a series. The plot wraps up neatly without obvious hooks for sequels, and the author hasn't mentioned any follow-ups. The characters' arcs feel complete, which is satisfying for readers who prefer one-and-done stories. That said, the world-building is rich enough that spin-offs could work if the author ever revisits this universe.
Some fans speculate about potential connections to other books by the same writer, but there's no official confirmation. The lack of recurring characters or overarching plotlines suggests it's meant to be enjoyed independently. Standalones are great for busy readers who want a full experience without commitment. If it were part of a series, you'd likely see more unresolved threads or cliffhangers.
I totally get why people wonder about sequels or prequels. The book is such a rich, sprawling family saga that it feels like there's more to explore. But nope, no official sequel or prequel exists. The story stands alone, which is part of its power—it leaves you haunted and wanting more, but also satisfied in its completeness. MacDonald hasn't written any follow-ups, but she's got other incredible works like 'The Way the Crow Flies' that dive into similarly dark, complex themes. If you loved 'Fall on Your Knees,' those might scratch the itch for more of her storytelling magic.
I got super curious about 'Under Her Control' after stumbling upon it in a recommendation thread, and yeah, it’s actually the first book in a series! The author, from what I gathered, planned it as a trilogy, with the second book already out and a third supposedly in the works. The first one ends on this massive cliffhanger that had me scrambling to pre-order the sequel—definitely one of those 'just one more chapter' books that somehow consumes your entire weekend.
What’s cool is how the series blends psychological tension with this slow-burn power dynamic. It’s not just about the plot twists; the character arcs stretch across all the books, so you get this really satisfying progression. If you’re into morally gray protagonists and stories where loyalty gets tested in wild ways, this series might be your next obsession. I’m already drafting fan theories for Book 3!
