Pain, Dreams & Desire: Some pasts can't be outrun, some temptations can't be refused

By Ann Han

Nessa's life is shattered the night her father is murdered and she is brutally violated. Seeking to escape the shadows of her past, she moves from England to Boston, hoping to reclaim her life-and perhaps herself.

Her new boss, Nathaniel, thrives on control-both at work and beyond-and relationships are never part of his game. Yet when a high-stakes trip takes them to New York, the tension between them becomes undeniable. Desperate to reclaim her desires, Nessa asks Nathaniel to teach her something she's never known: how to feel pleasure without fear. But as their attraction ignites, both must confront the boundaries they've built around themselves...
