Cecilia Tan

James has finally pushed Karina beyond her limit--not her limit for kinky sex play, but for his extreme secrecy. She has had enough and breaks things off. But James won't give up on Karina and will do whatever it takes to get her back. He's ready to share his deepest, darkest secrets, but is Karina ready to hear them? James offers Karina not only the truth but a place at his side...onstage. He wants Karina to star in his final musical production and enter his life and his world fully and completely. As the two work together, they rekindle the trust and love they'd lost. But James's world is full of deceit. When he is blackmailed by an unscrupulous music industry executive, James must give in to unreasonable demands or risk exposure of his and Karina's secret sex life. Will Karina and James's love be strong enough to withstand the many obstacles being thrown their way?

Almost two months have passed since Karina last saw James and he has disappeared without a trace. Karina is determined to find him, to break that stubborn shell around him and force him to acknowledge a passion so strong that he fled from it, and to prove to him that love is stronger than secrets. Offered a summer position as a tour guide at a famous museum in London, Karina jumps at the chance. She's heard rumors that James has returned to his old English stomping grounds, and once in London she starts the search for her elusive lover. She meets someone who offers to teach her to be the perfect BDSM submissive. Hoping to learn all she'll need to win James back, Karina takes the stranger up on his offer. Along the way, Karina learns more about herself and the world James has introduced her to. But when she finally finds James, will he be pleased with her training? Or will he shun her for allowing another man to touch what is his?

James is teaching Karina to be the perfect submissive, through a series of ever-escalating scenes. Karina exults in this treatment, the thrill of the game pushing aside any doubts she has about the lifestyle or the mysterious man she is with. She trusts him and slowly, finds herself needing him. As things get more intense, James lets down his guard and Karina learns his secret identity. Now that she knows who he is, will this change her feelings for him, or his for her?

Also included are a "bonus" article from the website (a feature magazine interview with the band), and two "scrapbook" pages of clippings never before seen by web readers and available only in the paperback.
