Second SKin: Reckoning: Book 2
"A mother's past. A daughter's desire. A reckoning that binds them both."
The past never stays buried.
After walking away from the illusion of perfection and a marriage built on lies, Hannah Baxter is learning how to live again-as herself. No longer Belle, no longer a secret. Rebuilding her relationship with Ben, the man who once shattered her trust and now wants to earn it back, Hannah finds herself caught between who she was and who she hopes to become.
But reckoning comes in layers.
When Hannah is approached to play Belle once more-this time in front of the camera-it reawakens a power, a seduction, and a danger she thought she'd left behind. As intimacy deepens between her and Ben, Belle becomes more than a memory-she's a part of them. Their exploration of BDSM, pleasure, and submission stretches them both to their emotional limits, testing whether love can exist without shame.
Meanwhile, Hannah's teenage daughter Freya begins her own journey of self-discovery. A crush turns into something more, and Freya finds herself exploring love, boundaries, and the secrets her family never meant to pass down. When private moments between Freya and her boyfriend Tom go public, she's thrust into the same cruel spotlight that once burned her mother-labeled, judged, and sexualized.
As the lines between past and present, mother and daughter, public and private blur, Hannah must decide what it means to protect her family without losing herself.
Because Belle is still part of her-and the world is watching.
In "Second Reckoning", love is a battlefield, identity is fluid, and the only way forward is to embrace every layer.
