She signed away her freedom Starved for affection, young Piper Delaney surrenders her life to a Master. But there is no love--only abuse. She's told she can't leave; she signed the slave contract. Years later, beaten and starving, she hears an English Dom say the contract's illegal. Unenforceable. And she runs. She reclaims her life and rises above the nightmare that was her past. But her enslavement left scars. She longs for love, but the only men who truly attract her also terrify her--Dominants. Hoping to conquer her fears, she visits Dark Haven, but the sounds of the club are too much. When a submissive panics, Sir Ethan steps in. The powerful English Dom recognizes the shivering submissive in his lap. Years before, he'd corrected her Master's deceit about a contract. She's come a long way since then. Cynical at being pursued for his wealth, he finds Piper's honesty compelling. She's intelligent, brave...and she needs him. What Dom could resist? He's the Dom she'd dreamed about--perceptive, firm, and utterly self-confident. His voice pulls her from panic attacks. His arms enclose her in safety. He treats her like a person, not something to mistreat. As he helps Piper overcome her fears, she starts to fall in love. Then her past finds her and destroys...everything. It's the depth of the characters, the engrossing nature of the plot, the realism of the conflict and the beautifully described settings that make a Cherise Sinclair novel...well, a Cherise Sinclair novel!
