Having barely survived an intense, all-consuming relationship that totally broke her heart, she has recently found solace in the arms of another. This time though, Tempest has stayed far away from dangerous men, deliberately choosing a kind and unassuming person with whom to spend the rest of her life with instead. But marrying a man who has been willing to take the back-seat to her fears, means marrying a man who has allowed her to easily keep him at arm's length, all the while, and the end result is that she is about to marry someone with whom she has never even once had sex. In addition, he is so gentle, kind, and docile, Tempest’s life with him is utterly devoid of challenge or passion, with not much else positive to speak of beyond the tender ministrations her timid fiancé passively provides. In fact, the only one to ever truly fulfill the secret submissive hidden within her, and to excite her to the depths of her sexual being, was the rakisly handsome millionare who so callously broke her heart a year earlier, a man whom she has spent the past 12 months desperately trying to hide from. But quite unexpectedly, those dark demons from her not too-distant past are just waiting to claim her once again. Despite all of the miles she's put between them, and all of the many things she's done to hide her current whereabouts, Victor, her first love and only lover, has somehow managed to track her down. And now that he has, he is dead-set on dragging her, kicking and screaming, back into the life that she had thought she'd left far, far behind her. Because the one thing Tempest did not, and could not know, was that despite Victor's rash decision to break up with her, he was never able to get her out of his mind. Knowing Tempest would never agree to meet with him now, he instead decides to abduct her at the only place he knows for sure she'll be; her very own wedding chapel. Kidnapping her within moments of when the ceremony is set to begin, Victor is dead-set on taking her on a wild journey, and doing everything in his power to ensnare her once again; including forcing her into all of the sexual scenarios that she was way too frightened to try before, like bondage, submission, and highly erotic forms of seductive and powerful S & M. Will Tempest ever trust him again? Will she ever forgive him for so callously breaking her heart? Find out as their story begins in Book I of the series, "The Captive Bride". **This novella contains adult themes, and as such, it may include (but is not limited to); explicit sex, bondage, choking, some mild "rape" themes/fantasies, forced oral sex, submission/domination, and basic S & M.
