#1 Mastering Her Senses by Laura Kaye
This expansive love story centers on two equally intense characters, Cassia Locke and Quinton Ross.
Cassia has unwillingly developed a phobia of the dark or anything related to it after a devastating accident. Hoping to help herself, she visited Blasphemy, a BDSM club. At Blasphemy she believed she would try to work through her fear and overcome it.
And while it’s not the most conventional way to cure a phobia, it’s certainly a lot more fun than spending hours lining the pockets of a therapist, right?
However, she ends up somewhat reconnecting with Blasphemy co-owner Quinton Ross. Cassia and Quinton have an interesting and colored past.
Quinton is a dominant man while Cassia would never admit, even on pain of death, to seeking him out: she’s desperate to cure what ails her.
And if Quinton is the only one who can help, she’ll swallow her pride, this one time. It’s obvious to anyone who sees them together that their attraction hasn’t faded a bit despite their complicated beginnings.
Even though one could argue that the storyline requires more depth and dimension, given its shortened length, this powerful and seductive BDSM Erotic Story is enjoyable, entertaining and brain-twisting. Mastering her Senses is a good read no matter the time or place.

No?

"Cyrian Harcroft."
That's the name of the male love interest in this erotica short story.
If you've ever read Charlotte Stein, you know she's the queen of making fascinating characters, and thereby fascinatingly erotic situations.

You'll have to see.
A hint: Cyrian's got a lacquered cane.
