Whipping Girl — Aishling Morgan

The devotees at the convent of St. Quay are subject to a harsh regime of corporal punishment and humiliation. For Lalage Vergelesses, the torment is double, for she is a whipping girl, assigned to take the punishments otherwise due to a noble's errant daughter. But the demure Demoiselle is not who she seems, and behind the arcane SM rituals, the convent hides some sinister secrets too. Part of the Scarlet Gothic series. Other titles include Scarlet Vice and Sin's Apprentice.
