[[Reprint]] Her job is to make his life miserable. His job is to make her submit. Whose heart will surrender first?
Across the country, rebellious BDSM submissives are being systematically kidnapped, one from each club. When her friend falls prey to the slavers, FBI victim specialist Gabrielle volunteers to be bait in a club not yet hit: the Shadowlands.
She finds that being a bratty sub comes … a bratty sub comes naturally, especially when she gets to twit the appallingly conservative Master of the trainees. But she soon discovers he’s not as stuffy as she’d thought. Or as mean. She’d expected punishment, even humiliation, but she sure never expected to fall in love with a damned lawyer.
Courtesy of a prima donna ex-wife, Marcus loathes disobedient submissives. When the club owner insists he admit an incredibly bratty trainee, he’s furious. But as he comes to know Gabrielle and sees the alluring sweetness beneath the sass, he starts to fall for her.
Unfortunately, Marcus isn’t the only one who believes the feisty redhead is a prize worth capturing. And in the world of the slaver, such treasure is worth a hefty fee.

Gabby hasn’t been honest with Marcus. Not about her job, her name or her reasons for joining the Shadowlands trainee program.
These books can be enjoyed as a standalone, but I do recommend reading/listening to in order because there are reoccurring characters.
Noah Michael Levine is one of the most skilled narrators in the field and a perfect choice for this series
Reading this has left me wanting to spend a small fortune buying all the other books Cherise Sinclair has written and then spend the next month reading them all.
Sadly real life won’t let me do that but I AM determined to work my way through them as and when time and money allow.
Gabi and Marcus are really well written characters, very easy to like and with hidden depths. We also saw them both grow and learn new things about themselves. The story drew me in from the very start and I struggled to put it back down. Boring things like work and sleep got in the way of me reading this in one sitting otherwise I would have done exactly that.
Cherise’s writing is excellent, as usual, I did think I’d spotted a few typo’s but then realised it was Marcus’ colloquial way of speaking! She has an amazing ability to write in a way that puts you into the scene, even inside the character’s head at times. Her BDSM scenes work and even when the Doms push boundaries it’s done in a careful, caring and consensual way. Her Doms may spank and ‘beat’ the ass of their subs, but they also always respect them and that ethos is evident throughout the story.
We don’t just get Gabi and Marcus’ view points, which seemed a little bit strange at first, but was VERY necessary to the plot. It didn’t take me long to get into it and I loved how it allowed us to see more of Jessica and Z’s relationship without it being in the form of a twee short story or ‘extended epilogue’ type of offering.
If you enjoy BDSM romance then Cherise’s books are a must read. Each can be read stand alone, though once you’ve read one you WILL have to read them all, so you might as well start with book #1! I hugely recommend this, hugely.
Like visiting family, I love her books, till then end and I await the next book. Haven’t missed one yet.
One of my favorite authors. Have read all of her books. Look forward to future ones too.
This book is the beginning of a erotic thriller that will carry you to the following books easily.
Gabrielle Renard is getting paid to be a brat….fun stuff! She’s volunteered to be a decoy in an undercover FBI operation that’s trying to break up a human trafficking ring. Master Marcus Atherton is trainee coordinator at Shadowlands. Master Z has asked Marcus to personally oversee Gabi’s training. The little brat gives him a run for his money. While he thought he only wanted well behaved, complaint submissives, Gabi is definitely changing his mind. Marcus is frustrated by trying to get inside her head to find out what makes her tick so he carries out a plan that ends up with shocking results. While in subspace Gabi reveals her real job and her undercover assignment. Now most of the Shadowlands Masters are onboard with the mission. Unfortunately things don’t go according to plan and not only is Gabi taken but so is Jessica. Now it’s a race against the click to rescue them. Once all is said and done Gabi is determined to walk away but Marcus is jyst as determined to keep her by his side. Guess who wins?
