title: Chapter 8
author: Dominguez, Ella
description: Contains both books in the Chapter 8 Series - Grace Street & Return to Grace Street, as well as bonus material including deleted scenes, the alternate ending, and epilogue.
  Warning: This is neither a conventional romance nor a traditional love story. There are no hearts and flowers on the pages of this book. The heroine doesn't always make wise choices and though I've tried to make her strong, she's often times weak in the face of the fierce hero. The hero is not a knight in a shining armor. He's broken and frequently cruel, and what every woman in the real world should avoid. What's contained in this book isn't real - it's fiction; dark, depraved and decadent make-believe. This is also not a fairy tale love story nor is it a BDSM romance. This is a story about facing the darkness within. The man written within the pages of this book is obsessive, possessive and broken, and he gets off on mind f#cking his lovers. He's an anti-hero with an abusive past who often times pushes too hard in his quest to win his own sick game. The fainthearted, closed-minded and squeamish need not read any further. Contains detailed sexual encounters, including voyeurism, total power exchange and
  situations that may trigger past memories of abuse.
   For mature readers aged 18+
  Two head strong characters. One twisted, psychological game. No winners. Cold and calculating, Victor has found the next victim on his to-do-list. But Elsa proves to be an infuriating challenger when she flips the tables on his selfish and twisted game - a game they both may end up losing their hearts and minds over.
  Obsession, possession, resilience, insanity...
  Grace Street: Seeking solitude and reprieve from her past failed relationships, Elsa begins her life anew in Richmond, hoping to find the change that she so desperately needs. Things are looking up for her, a new job, new friends... A fresh start.
  But Victor has different plans for her. From the moment he heard her voice and set his eyes on Elsa, she became next on his to-do list; his Chapter 8. A well-known and respected criminal profiler, his mind is as dark as the people he hunts down. It takes one to know one, after all. Under the guise of making his subjects stronger, he intends to break Elsa down using everything in his arsenal, including pleasure, pain, humiliation, and things unspeakable. Everyone is fair game in his book and he discriminates against no one when he chooses his test subjects.
  In Victor's world, there is no such thing as happily ever after and Chapter 8 proves to be an infuriating challenger when she flips the tables on his selfish and twisted game, a game they both may end up losing their hearts and minds over.
  Return to Grace Street: Victor tried to stay away; he couldn't. He tried to start a new chapter and only wasted his time. He did his best to keep his demons at bay, but it proved to be an impossible task. Now Mr. Black is back to take what's his and face-off with the one player who beat him at his own game.
  Having moved past the heartbreak and physical torture that Mr. Black put her through, Elsa's life is back on track. With a new love in her life and her future secure, she's horrified and angry when he reappears, threatening his wrath if she doesn't play his twisted game again. But despite being haunted by his dark, untold secrets, she's a different woman now. Stronger than before and far more resilient. And more importantly, determined to make her own rules.
  This time around, both participants are on equal ground. They will play with such passion and ferocity, their very existence is threatened because in their eyes, there can be only one winner and there is no conceding when your mental and physical freedom is at stake.
