Synopsis

For fans of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY; the author of sensational bestseller THE BRIDE STRIPPED BARE returns with a powerful tale of marriage and desire. Smothered by marriage and family, a woman feels life slipping through her fingers. She becomes preoccupied with thoughts of her early education in love at the hands of Tol, a man like no other she has known. Memories of the affair – Tol’s appetite for her pleasure and her trusting desire – consume her. But the mysterious end to their intimacy left her confused and unwilling to love again with all her heart. Discovering the woman she once was is an erotic journey back into the past and an exploration of reawakened passion.
