"A Steamy Tale of Surrender!"

Cole Andrews is a man of "extreme" tastes and he apparently sees the same desires in Tess Delacourte.... she just hasn't admitted it to herself. At a brief encounter between Tess and Cole he called her bluff, letting her know that he was aware of her long repressed desires, even if she wasn't, and that he was just the man to help her explore them. That one moment has kept her on the defensive around Cole, and kept her head spinning for two years.

Away for a week at her father's home for the annual Valentine's / Anniversary Bash, she knows that she will encounter Cole. She is, however, unaware that Cole loves her to distraction and that with her father's help, he is about to achieve his objective...to help her explore the side of herself that she steadfastly denies, and to bind Tess to him forever.

The heat between Tess and Cole fairly scorches the pages and the reader is able to easily experience Tess' conflicting emotions as her sensual nature runs amok. Cole's need to possess Tess and his deep love for her are beautifully detailed. Never has the word "mine" sounded so good!

The book is rated NC-17/erotic by the publisher for bondage, use of sex toys, masturbation, and multiple partners. Those with a taste for D/S will be delighted, and those looking to explore a little something different will be very pleasantly surprised...this one most definitely goes to the top of my keeper list!
