Spirit

When Matthew Logan offers a homeless young woman a bed
for a few nights, he expects the girl to eat, sleep, recover from the flu, and then
move on. Instead, in no time at all eighteen-year-old Beth Harte has captured
his affections completely. Though Matt wants only to protect her and has no
intention of sleeping with her, Beth has other ideas, and she proves to be very
persuasive.

But after Beth is attacked by a friend of Matt’s and subsequently
learns for the first time that Matt is an experienced dominant, she is unable
to separate the man she is growing to care about from her hateful memories of previous
exploitation. Confused and frightened, she runs away.

Almost six years pass before Matt sees Beth again, and
in that time his vulnerable little waif has reinvented herself as an artist.
Now she has a stunning proposition for him and his environmental engineering
company: to collaborate on a project fusing art and science to promote one of
the most prestigious sporting events in the world. But when Matt demands to
know what went wrong before, she tells him the truth, both about her childhood
and about his friend’s actions.

Matt is determined to make Beth’s abusers pay for
their crimes, but he’s also not about to let her run away from him again. Can
Beth bring herself to trust Matt despite her fears and give him the chance to
love her and show her the pleasures of being his submissive, or will the wounds
of her past keep her from trusting anyone ever again?
