The Academy

by Elizabeth Stewart

How far would you go to have everything you ever wanted, including wealth, power and the man you’ve loved for five long years? That’s the question facing Daria Evans who’s come all the way from Earth to the small, distant planet of Utan to negotiate a rich mineral contract for her employer, the mega-conglomerate Unitech. Success will mean a vice presidency (the first female to attain that rank in the company’s history), prestige, money and most importantly, a wedding date. But to get the contract, Daria must enter The Academy and learn its sexual secrets. What waits behind the barred door? Passion. Pleasure. Pain. Inside, she must face her deepest fears and greatest ecstasy at the hands of her masked, mysterious and incredibly sensual guard.
