Tabitha I chose to dedicate my life to helping others navigate their trauma through Meridian’s program. I’ve always been good at keeping my demons locked away. But when my walls finally crack, I am forced to choose between losing my job and participating. For the first time, I find myself vulnerable, on the other side, wondering… Who is going to save me? Sebastian I came here to gain clarity and piece my mind back together after a devastating loss. I was just a patient until she was put into this position beside me. Tabitha Sawyer, the untouchable doctor… no, woman, that I can see slowly breaking, doesn’t realize she isn’t alone in the dark. While I failed before, I will not again. I will be the one to save her. This is Book 2 in The Meridian Institute. What is The Meridian Rehabilitation Institute? The Meridian Rehabilitation Institute is a BDSM-centered inpatient facility for mental health. Patients must be stable and not a threat to themselves or others before being accepted. Waivers are signed upon entrance to consent to BDSM focused practices, up to and including sex, kink play, training by any means necessary, punishment, one-on-one therapy, group therapy, and understand that participants are willingly and consensually handing control to their trainer/therapist for the sake of their mental health and long-term healing. The environment is heavily based on TPE (of varying degrees based on patient needs and trainer expectations)
