author: Vitsky, Anastasia
description: Can lies build a foundation for love? Gemma Parquin has a secret. By day, she's the center of her church's social life. By night, she's Mistress Lorelei on Kinklife, online disciplinarian of babygirls and all who need spanking, whipping, and-her personal favorite-figging. No one suspects, until neighbor Celine Daniels comes across Gemma's Kinklife profile. Stunned and nursing a secret crush, she creates an account under the name starrygirl793 and "catfishes" the Mistress...and gets more than she bargained for. Before she knows it, Celine is also leading a double life. Meanwhile, Gemma's best friend sets her up with an online dating service. Enter Stella, who is everything Celine is not-sophisticated, successful, and straightforward. But she doesn't understand the kink Gemma holds dear. How can Gemma trust Celine, who has lied to her? Or give up Mistress Lorelei in order to be with Stella? Should Gemma give up on love altogether, or can she still find happiness?
