About this ebook

The first novel in the seductive and scandalous New York Times bestselling series that has enthralled millions.

Abby King has a secret fantasy...

New York knows Nathaniel West as the brilliant and handsome CEO of West Industries, but Abby knows he’s more: a sexy and skilled dominant who is looking for a new submissive. Yearning to experience a world of pleasure beyond her simple life as a librarian, Abby offers herself to Nathaniel to fulfill her most hidden desires.

After only one weekend with the Master, Abby knows she needs more, and fully submits to Nathaniel’s terms. But despite the pleasure he takes in Abby’s willing spirit, the Nathaniel hidden behind the rules remains cold and distant.

As Abby falls deeper into his tantalizing world of power and passion, she fears that Nathaniel’s heart may be beyond her reach—and that her own might be beyond saving...

Ratings and reviews

I have read fifty shades, the crossfire series and now this. Fifty shades does have quite a bit more anticipation I do feel like the book moves to fast but it is a bit different from fifty shades where as the main female role Abbey is always willing to submit, where the make role Nathaniel is a caring dom but it doesn't go into depth or any psychological issues like Christan. So it gives a new perspective unlike the crossfire series which is a good, softer key fifty shades not so rough. It's worth a read but I'm not jumping through the pages like fifty shades.

As soon as i read the back cover i knew this book was gonna be like 50 shades.. And the more i read the more i see it is Smh.. Her ideas r not original... I wish i could give this book zero stars.. Everyone who is giving this book excellent reviews clearly hasn't read 50 shades..not saying that book was just awesome cuz it wasn't..I'm just saying this author did not use her own work..and I'm only on ch.9.. copycat!

This book is so much better than E. L. James's book. The writing is far superior to hers and the relationship seems less abusive and more accurately portrays BDSM relationships. I only didn't give this a five star rating because I feel the need to consult with someone in that community.

About the author

The series has become a huge hit with readers around the world, and has been read and reread millions of times.
