being seen in a BDSM club, but when she's introduced to the most sought-after Dom in Paris, his
powerful presence makes her feel like she's treading
on safe ground. Even better, he has no interest in
falling in love, which fits right in with her three-month
break between contracts. Bored with the club scene,
Olivier favors private arrangements with one sub at
a time. This keeps anyone from getting too close to
emotional scars that run so deep he's lost the will to
paint-or to love. A temporary liaison, staying well
within his boundaries while pushing hers, suits him
perfectly. Lisa's first visit to Olivier's apartment is
deliciously shocking. Yet as they begin to strip away
the layers guarding their souls, the pain and the
pleasure could be too much to keep things strictly
business...
