Dear old dad has me cornered. Come back to work or die. That’s the deal. Normally, after he’s beaten the crap out of me, that works. It won’t this time, even with the threat of him hurting Mel. She’d rather die than see a soul hurt on her behalf, and on this one, I’m with her.

I thought Lois was exaggerating with her tales of the Dumortier’s. She wasn’t. Geraud is every bit as terrifying as she’s described, and then some. We have bigger problems, though. Apparently, the man doesn’t want me around. He’s going to ship me off and sell me.

Christina Mandara is a USA TODAY bestselling author and tends to write dark romance with lashings of kinky naughtiness. Her favourite pastime is travelling, and if it involves sun, sea and… sand then it’s all good.
In her spare time she’s usually cuddled up with a good book, exploring the countryside or baking in the kitchen. In fact, she loves her kitchen so much she’s one of few woman who wouldn’t mind being tied to it! Her first and foremost love is writing, however, and more often than not you’ll find her on a laptop spinning tales of romance, erotica or dark, paranormal fantasies.
She's a big fan of BDSM in all of its glorious forms, and her favourite item in the toy closet (a box simply isn’t big enough) is her riding crop.
