"An Exotic Tale of Submission"

In-control currency expert Persephone Landers came to the island of Surapay with her friends to relax. The night before they left changed her life. She went to a traditional dance and found herself chosen to dance with a mysterious dark island stranger. His movements set her on fire, and before she knew it he was leading her to a dark cave and calling her his.

She left the next morning, never expecting that her island lover would follow her — or that he would turn out to be Jairan Rivington, rich Prince of Surapay. A man who has decided that she is his Sacred Possession, treasured above all things. A man who will not be denied.

Now thoroughly modern Sefy has to deal with a man who can turn her inside out with a single look — and make her orgasm with a word. He controls her body, but he can't control her mind. Though his touch makes her melt she longs to escape the invisible bonds he has created.

Or does she?

Slavery and submission are the themes of this deeply erotic escapade. Gabriel's characterization is nicely done and the relationship between Sefy and Jay is believable, to my mind, though I cannot say that I'm completely knowledgeable in the BDSM arena. The entire story is about their relationship — there is no subplot to muddy the water or take the reader's attention from Sefy's predicament. This story is definitely one for the man-in-control fan, and Sefy's fall into Jay's hands is slow and agonizing. She doesn't want him, but she can't stop obeying him. When he does leave her alone, she finds herself following him, begging for his attention. The end of Sefy and Jay's story is heartwarming and emotionally appealing. Fans of BDSM erotic fiction should find this little gem both intriguing and emotionally fulfilling.

Sensuality Level: This novel has been rated "E-rotic" by the publisher.

Straight laced Persephone Landers surrenders her body to the bonds and the touch of the mysterious, tattooed Polynesian. What the reluctant blonde tourist does not realize, however, is that the man is no hired entertainer, but the prince of the island.

Imagine her surprise when he shows up half a world away to claim her as his possession...forever.
