Her: It’s research. Private. No emotions, no strings, and definitely no sex. Just between the two of them. It's a secret she shares with a man who is wholly the opposite of the man she wants. But he’s going to help. Teach her to understand her own needs. He accepts her. He sees her. And with his dominant ways, he offers her exactly what she craves. Even as he satisfies her every desire, he can’t ease her shame. Him: He was alive but not living. He was alone in his appetites until her. He found solace for the first time in his life. In her, he found he could be so much more. Her submission was intoxicating. It was a spark that flamed his darkest desires. What began as an exploration of pleasure, ended in a catharsis of lust. Exposing their hearts was never part of the bargain, but when has that ever mattered? So, what now? Will their appetite for pain destroy them? Will their connection break them? What happens when the masochist and the Dom both meet their match? *WARNING: This book is an erotic romance with consensual sexual situations between characters including submission and domination.
