Book Description
A deliciously potent tale of one woman’s quest for self-discovery

Rowan Cassidy likes to be in charge—especially in her personal life. As a mistress at Club Privé, the most exclusive bondage/S & M club on the West Coast, Rowan can live out her dominant fantasies safely, and with complete control—until the night Christian Thorne walks in. Self-confident and sophisticated, he’s a natural dominant if Rowan’s ever seen one. Yet she can’t stop thinking about him and imagining his touch.

Christian has returned home, hoping to break free from his dissatisfaction and malaise—and discovers the cure in Rowan. He’s dying to get his skilled hands on her and watch her surrender, to unlock the mystery of her that captivates him. Determined to be her master, he makes Rowan a daring proposition: give herself over to him for thirty days.

Rowan finds Christian’s offer terrifying—and impossible to resist. But abandoning herself to Christian’s power might be more than she can handle…. Or it might be the realization of her true nature and the dark garden within her. There will be only one way to find out. And once the game has begun, there’s no turning back.

Unconditional Love

There is only one requirement
to be a mother
unconditional love for another.
Hold me in your arms
bless me with the charm only
a mother’s love can bring.
Remember the curve of her mouth
the tenderness of her heart
the sound of her voice which softly sings.

To all the beautiful women
that make the world lovelier everyday.

To Write...

An author, whether he or she has been writing their entire life or just one day, is a work in progress. Passion for writing is like an illness for which there is no cure. You feel it in your soul. Honing the craft keeps you up late at night and wakes you at the peak of dawn. The journey of discovery which ensues can trail into the deepest valley of despair, and then crest to the height of expectation. By soaking up knowledge, I hope to enlighten myself as a person, and enhance my writing. Keep living, loving and smiling.
