With one look at the proud, ivory beauty, Torin Athun knows Orcha is a woman worthy of his equal. It is not until he is alone with her that he discovers her request to be punished in any manner he sees fit. For Torin, her willing submission and suffering is not his goal—and he wants more than her body. He craves her heart and soul.

Rating: Novella—21,492 words. Contains highly detailed sensual encounters, including rope play (kinbaku). Not for the faint of heart. Also, some violence in keeping with gladiator themes. Futuristic Romance with alpha/alien shapeshifters.
