“Intrigue me is a romantic BDSM sadism story with heart. I never thought that was possible. The author did a wonderful job of portraying sadism and showing the emotional side of the characters as well.” -- Judy & Marianne from Long and Short Reviews

“Wow … be prepared for steamy hot and deliciously dark.” -- LF

The acclaimed Dark Erotic Second Chance Romance by Lacee Hightower is now available on audiobook.

“Eyes that held secrets … Eyes full of betrayal. My sweet Ava, what a little liar you are.”

Utter loathing is all I thought I had left for this woman. She betrayed me. Turned my love into hate. The day she sauntered out of my life, robbing me of a precious future, was the day my heart turned to stone, my soul became embittered, and my deep-seated resentment morphed into a cruel, heartless man with a raw passion for sexual sadism.

Without pain, there can be no pleasure.

I torment. I humiliate. I offer nothing more than psychological pain.

Eight years later, she’s back in my life, harboring ugly secrets. She has something I want, something that belongs to me, which leaves me no choice. I’ll take. I’ll punish. I’ll make her pay for all her unforgettable and unforgiveable vices.

I’ll introduce her to exquisite pain.

I’ll make her cry out.

I’ll watch her suffer to my wicked delight.

Problem is … I long to feel my hands on her. I ache to inhale the delicate scent of her flesh. She pushes all my buttons, yanks all my chains. No matter how much I want to hate her, I can’t.

Can the submissive trust that Ava Montgomery offers me tear down the walls I’ve built around my heart? Allow me to make peace with myself? Will I migrate toward a lifestyle I’ve only watched others live?

Or will this ingrained need to inflict pain, humiliation, and fear follow me to the grave?
