In the shadows of desire, three hearts are tested. Will one end up broken? ~Justine~ As a doctoral student studying authenticity, Club Shattered Embrace is a gold mine for my dissertation research and people-watching. But I never expected to find myself on my knees before Derek Ingram, the enigmatic and emotionally distant playboy, in a class about power dynamics. With each lesson, he pushes me to explore my desires and boundaries. But I’m beginning to question whether our connection is purely academic or something more. ~Jordan~ I’m an event planner with a love for uninhibited adventure and passion. Club Shattered Embrace is my playground, where I indulge in my favorite pastime: pleasure with multiple partners. Often with my favorite protector, Derek. But, when Derek and Justine are forced into hiding together, I'm forced to ask whether being Derek's sub is my destiny after all. ~Derek~ I thought I’d left danger behind when I returned home from my service as a Navy SEAL and joined Ingram Enterprises. But I was wrong. I’m still haunted by my past and Lucian, a dangerous head of a powerful family. When my brother, Zachary, and his sub become targets, I’ve no choice but to take Lucian down to keep everyone I love safe─including the two women whom my heart can't seem to decide on. Jordan's allure always has me burning for more, but I can’t resist the urge to protect and guide sweet Justine into finding who her soul longs to be. Discovering Desire, the third book in the Shattered Embrace series, is a scorching-hot exploration of acceptance, trust, vulnerability, and the complexities of human connection. Don't miss the adventures awaiting an ex-military protector turned corporate mogul, who finds himself unsure of which is more dangerous: infiltrating an enemy organization or choosing between two wildly different strong women.
