After the death of her Master, Caitlin Bennett discovers years of sadistic cruelty at his hands have made her a slave to pain. To orgasm, Cait needs the type of extreme agony few responsible Doms are willing to inflict, especially Doms like Paul Nelson. Offering nearly everything she craves, Paul's perfect—except for his aversion to the whip. Paul refuses to hurt Cait, instead attempting to retrain her with patience and trust. But the longer Cait suffers from a lack of release, the more she's convinced her mind and body are irrevocably conditioned. And Paul has precious little time to convince her otherwise. Waiting in the wings is a newbie Dom determined to have Cait for his own...who's learning the whip just for her. She'll soon have to choose—the man who can give her what she wants? Or the man who can give her what she needs? Inside Scoop: Caitlyn recalls scenes of abuse that could disturb the more tenderhearted. A Romantica® BDSM erotic romance from Ellora's Cave.
