“This is who I am. This is what I want. Now I need a man dangerous enough to give it to me.”

Graduate student Vivienne Charles is afraid of her own desires—ashamed to admit

that she fantasizes about being taken by force, by a man who will claim

her completely and without mercy. When the magnetic, mysterious Jonah

Marks learns her secret, he makes an offer that stuns her: they will

remain near-strangers to each other, and meet in secret so that he can

fulfill her fantasy.

Their arrangement is twisted. The sex is

incredible. And—despite their attempts to stay apart—soon their emotions

are bound together as tightly as the rope around Vivienne’s wrists. But

the secrets in their pasts threaten to turn their affair even darker...
