FROM EXCITING ROMANCE AUTHOR LIIA ANN WHITE Book two in the Masters of Haven series Some encounters are fleeting but others change everything. Trust doesn’t come easy to Belle. Between her cold and withdrawn parents and a slew of bad relationships, she hasn’t had much luck in that department. Two years ago, her trust was shattered, when she experienced violence at the hands of her Dom and boyfriend.

The fact that her abusive ex is now free in the world doesn’t make things any easier for her. Does Ambrose have the patience to work through Belle’s issues and trauma to work his way into her small yet trusted circle of loved ones? He certainly hopes so, but they’re certainly being tested. All Belle wants is to submit wholeheartedly to this Dom – this Master – but can she release every fear holding her back?
