Heathcliff meets Christian Grey in these four powerful, gritty stories featuring the darker side of love.Set against the rugged, atmospheric backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, Black Combe is an imposing, atmospheric dwelling with its own passionate tale to tell. In this collection of linked, intensely sensual stories, we meet four enigmatic Doms – brothers, friends, acquaintances – and the feisty, fascinating women with the strength to submit to them.
Nathan Darke is a successful architect with distinctly sadistic tendencies who likes to be in control. He could never have anticipated the instant and compelling attraction between himself and Eva Byrne. The brilliant academic, musician and deliciously quirky submissive shows up at his home, plays him a few bars from Bolero, and his well-ordered life is turned on its head. He can’t keep his hands off her, but as he peels away her protective layers one by one, he discovers there is much, much more to Eva than meets the eye.
And Tom Shore, a farmer with a twitchy palm, whose first explosive encounter with Ashley McAllister comes close to wrecking their fragile chance at finding happiness together. Ashley has good reasons for seeking a new life in the wilds of the Yorkshire countryside, and finds it hard to trust anyone, least of all the man who has hurt her, terrified her and who she had hoped never to meet again. She is determijn4d to reinvent herself, but will past tragedies and the secrets she tries to bury destroy everything she is trying to build?
Freya Stone has over forty million reasons to be cheerful, but the one thing she wants seems to be the only thing that money cannot buy? A frustrated submissive with particularly unique needs, she offers renowned Dom, Nick Hardisty, twenty five thousand pounds to train her in the fine art of submission. A deal is struck, but not on Freya’s terms. Will a month with the Dom of her dreams turn out to be a lot more than she bargained for?
The first time she encounters Daniel Lahy, Summer doesn’t know how to react to his offer to spank her. So, she does the only thing she can think of. She runs. A chance meeting in a BDSM club confuses her even more, so she hits the road again. Then a random act of kindness sets in motion a bizarre series of events to bring Summer and Dan together at Black Combe, his brother’s house. Can they at last work out this burning attraction between them and find a future together, or will the secrets haunting Summer wreck her fragile happiness yet again?
The twists and tuns in these complex love stories combine to weave a vivid tapestry. Chance encounters, friendships, family ties … the futures of these four couples are intricately bound together. New relationships are forged, old ones tested, long buried secrets dragged out into the open. As they explore new sensual heights they learn that no one really knows where pain ends and pleasure begins.
