Excerpt from A Valentine's Bind: N I C K Y I woke up slowly. Opening first one eye then the other tentatively. My head banging and my mouth felt like the bottom of a parrot cage. The need for food immediate and overpowering. The mantra in my head repeating over and over. I am never drinking red wine again. I am never drinking red wine again. Then, I spotted the open packets and containers of food spread across the coffee table in the living room. No wonder my neck hurt so much. Falling asleep on the sofa with my head at an unnatural angle will do that to a person. With a selection of leftovers heated up I began munching aimlessly. Trying to remember how I got home the previous evening. And, the twenty-dollar question was "Who with?" I could hear someone coming through my front door with a key. But, I lived alone, and no one else had keys to my flat. Not even my family. I turned to look as the handle started to twist, panicking as the door pushed open, and in stepped a stunning man with dark brown hair. He was wearing, what looked to me like a Saville Row suit. His steely blue gaze connecting with my own slightly bloodshot pale blue eyes. "Oh. Finally, awake, are we?" he remarked in a clipped accent as he walked in shutting the door carefully behind him. I attempted to swallow the mouthful of curry I was in the middle of chewing, and began to cough violently. It had gone down the wrong hole and I was turning an unattractive blue hue.

A realistic tale of BDSM and the Lifestyle. Lot of HOT steamy scenes too. The pace of the book made it such an easy read and I read it in one sitting. A dark, yet compelling read..." A great read for fans of 50 shades, but a much darker shade of grey.
