Learning to love is the easy part…
As a young woman, Kate Landry trusted the
wrong man, and she paid dearly for her naiveté. Alone, pregnant and destitute,
she survived by the sheer force of her will. Now forty-two, Kate has made a
good living for herself and her daughter as the owner of the Bluebird Saloon.
But she’s forgotten how to live. That is until he comes into her bar…
Liam St. James loved a girl once. And
only once. After an accident paralyzed her, she didn’t trust he would continue
to love her. Brokenhearted, Liam left and soon discovered a world where women
did trust him—to be their sexual Dominant. He plays out the scenes masterfully,
but the unexpected request from the stoic bar owner will pose his greatest challenge
yet…
Kate and Liam embark on a journey to
uncover repressed urges and, in the process, they discover new desires. They
also fall in love with one another. But when you’ve been shattered as badly as
they have by mistrust, deceit and abuse, loving is easy. Trusting is harder, if
not impossible, especially when the heart is involved…
Shattered Trust is a BDSM romance. It
contains explicit language and graphic love scenes, including bondage,
domination, spanking, whipping and multiple partners. It is intended for mature
readers only.
For
years—years—she’d fought her internal
opinion that she was a slut. A whore. She wasn’t. She was a good person. A
person worthy of love and respect.
But
was she? Stripping for Liam, a man she barely knew, didn’t classify her as
admirable. Tears filled her eyes. She wrapped her arms across her breasts, her
head bowed.
“Why
did you stop?” Liam’s question echoed in the quiet room.
“I…I
can’t do this.”
“Why
not?”
She
sniffled. “I just can’t.”
“That’s
the answer a child would give.” Censure hardened his voice. “Look at me.”
Shuffling
her feet, she turned.
He
sat forward in the chair, his elbows braced on his knees. Tension crackled the
air as his reproachful gaze bore into hers. She shook so hard, it was a wonder
she stayed standing.
“Part
of your problem is that you’re thinking too much.” His words stung like ice
chips. “It’s not your job to think, but to do. To do as I say. I’m here because
of you. If you want this to stop, if you don’t trust me, you know what to
say. I’ll leave and we’ll be done. Otherwise, uncross your arms and continue.”
Fear
clutched her heart. Fear of continuing? No. Fear that all…this would end. She’d
only just begun…could she so easily abandon her pursuit for some semblance of
normalcy in her life? Or was she prepared to spend the rest of her days alone?
Like
dead weight, her arms fell to her sides.
