junction of my neck and shoulder and bites there, driving me wild so that I can’t help arching my back, pressing myself against his hard body. I run my hands through his hair, as one of his reaches for the bottom of my sweater and finds the soft flesh of my belly beneath. The feel of his fingers on my skin is electric, taking my excitement to yet another level. I want him to touch my breasts, squeeze them, suck the nipples, kiss me again, press his fingers into my depths…
I groan with the intensity of my desire.
He lifts his head to me and says, ‘No turning back, Freya…’
‘No turning back,’ I reply, my eyes burning into his. ‘Please… no turning back.’

FIRE AFTER DARK
It started with a spark...
Everything changed when I met Dominic. My heart had just been broken, split into jagged fragments that can jigsaw together to make me look enough like a normal, happy person.
Dominic has shown me a kind of abandonment I've never known before. He takes me down a path of pure pleasure, but of pain, too – his love offers me both lightness and dark. And where he leads me, I have no choice but to follow.

SECRETS AFTER DARK
Ours was a love bound by power...
Falling in love with Dominic changed me. I relinquished myself completely and placed my heart and my trust in Dominic's hands, but in one exquisite, excruciating moment he abandoned his control. Anguished by his actions, he has locked those darkest desires inside, unable to share my conviction that it would never happen again.
Now it's not only Dominic who craves that delicate, seductive game of give and take, of walking the line between pain and pleasure, abandon and release. Persuading Dominic to let those secret parts of himself unravel will be the biggest risk I've ever taken, but I can't resist. Even if it means we fall apart...

PROMISES AFTER DARK
Can a fractured love be salvaged?
Parting with Dominic has left me broken in a way I could never have imagined. We held elation in the palm of our hands, but one misunderstanding brought it crashing down around us. Now the hurt and sadness follows me like a shadow and makes choosing the right path to take impossible.
But one moment with him and the pulsing heat is singing in my blood again; his touch lights a fire that my body refuses to ever forget. I'm hopelessly lost in him. Finding our way back to one another will take trust and a leap of faith - only then we will know whether we have a chance at forever.
Provocative and sophisticated, exhilarating and
seductive, the After Dark series is a compelling pleasure
we should all indulge in . . .
