author: Dominguez, Ella
description: Previously titled: The Art of Submission: The Art of D/s, #1. Rewritten from first person narrative into third person. An erotic journey of self-discovery where obsession and a yearning for control collide. After a chance encounter brings a businessman face to face with an erotic set of paintings that were never intended to be sold, they rekindle a flame for the alternative lifestyle he was forced to give up. When he meets the shy artist, he hatches a wicked plan that will not only allow him access to more of her paintings, but to dominate and educate her in the ways of becoming his submissive. Faced with an offer that will permit her to explore her sexual desires—their passionate journey begins. In spite of Dylan’s trust issues and wanting only a physical relationship with distinct boundaries, their chemistry is powerful. Soon, he realizes that he can't resist Isabel’s spirited nature, her eagerness and lack of fear to learn from him, and most of all—her immense talent. But Isabel has a hidden dominant streak that only Dylan brings out, and despite being drawn to one another, their unexpected struggle for control and their dark pasts that are looming in the shadows, threatens to strip them of the fragile bond they so desperately cling to. Warning: Contains erotic elements, BDSM themes, and situations that may trigger past memories of abuse. Intended for mature readers, aged 18+.
