Once upon a time, two partners built a wildly successful private BDSM club called The Plume, a place where every erotic fantasy could safely come true. When The Plume was destroyed and its members scattered, the partners decided not just to begin again but to improve on the original. Welcome to The Phoenix, an international private BDSM club, risen from the ashes of The Plume. Once again, all erotic fantasies are possible and secret desires can be fulfilled. V - Sold Athena and Steele concoct a surefire plan to catch the Count: they'll host a slave auction at the Phoenix and use Steele as bait. Rex isn't convinced, but the pair proceed, only to discover that the Count is at least two steps ahead of them. How much will Athena risk to save Steele-Rex, herself, or even The Phoenix? Meanwhile, Rex decides Amy is due for a reward, using Paige's fantasy of being shared as an opportunity to teach Amy the subtleties of taking control-only to learn that his pupil and aspiring dominatrix has a few unexpected skills of her own. Sold is the fifth erotic romance in The Phoenix Series.
