Series Note: Bad Love is the latest in the BDSM historical “Tainted Love” series that began with the full-length novel Tainted Love. All titles in this series can be read as stand alone.
Siam: The half-caste love child of a concubine. A virgin widow desperate to know a man’s touch. An innocent lady schooled in the Oriental art of seduction. A sophisticated socialite with secret naughty yearnings.
Siam carved a path to economic independence by forfeiting her desires in order to raise six stepdaughters. Her self-sacrifice ends with the death of her wealthy husband. She can now do as she pleases, think only of herself, and she vows never again to be bound by the chains of love. Passion, yes. Lust, of course. Physical fulfillment -- oh, God, please! But not devotion. After embarking on a series of meaningless and unemotional affairs, she plans to marry into her moneyed New York circle.
Then she meets a lowly dishwasher in a backwoods Maine hotel.
Theo: The youngest and most inhibited of the three Donovan brothers. A romantic bear of a man on the rebound from a broken heart. A bedroom conservative with repressed sexual needs. A latent alpha male who uncovers his dominance…
With Siam.
Despite her reluctance to surrender, he demands she accept all of him, even if that all includes love. |
