The vulnerable heroine, and the perverse and powerful king who you suspect still has a golden heart… A hot, well-imagined fantasy world and sexy, touching emotional interaction. This is Happily Ever After for the kinky set!” – Annabel Joseph, author of Odalisque.“Another amazing read from Kitty Thomas. One thing I can count on from this author is to create a read unlike anything else on the market. From fantasy to sci-fi to contemporary, her books always defy categorization. Whatever the setting, when I want the real deal when it comes to exploring master/slave relationships, I turn to Kitty’s stories. With work that’s powerful, sexy and intense, she never fails to deliver.” ~ Cari Quinn, author of Provoke MeOther Works by Kitty Thomas:Full Length Novels:Comfort FoodGuilty PleasuresTender MerciesThe Last Girl Submissive Fairy Tales (latest release--anthology of The Auction, Awakening, and The King's Pleasure.)Novellas:The AuctionAwakening
