Previously titled: The Art of Domination: The Art of D/s, #2. Rewritten from first person narrative into third person.An erotic journey of self-discovery, where obsession and a yearning for control collide.Five months into their relationship, Dylan is ready to make the ultimate commitment to Isabel. However, Isabel has reservations, and for good reason, as Dylan continues to remain secretive and closed off about his past. When he is threatened with exposure about his sexual proclivities, he is forced to confront his demons head-on, including how his parents' death rests on his shoulders. Forced into an awkward situation, Dylan must help his former lover and ex-submissive-the very one who threatens to expose him-all while trying to keep his secrets intact and Isabel protected. As Dylan and Isabel take vows to never let anything tear them apart, they embark on a new journey-one that tests Isabel's physical and mental limits when Dylan lets his Dominant and sadistic nature out. But the struggle is real, and Isabel's inner battle to keep her own Dominant tendencies at bay in order to allow him fulfill his darkest fantasies proves almost too much to handle.Just when things are heating up, the true depth of not only her father's cruelty is revealed, but a stalker hell bent on revenge, turning Isabel's and Dylan's world upside down in a whirlwind of violence and betrayal.Adding insult to injury, Isabel is forced to come face-to-face with Dylan's lies, giving the saying for better or worse, a whole new meaning.Warning: Contains erotic elements, BDSM themes, and situations that may trigger past memories of abuse. Intended for mature readers, aged 18+.
