Beyond the Black Curtain

Whips, chains, and genuinely masterful men are merely the stuff of fantasy stories, such as the one Ever is writing. ThatÕs what Ever thinksÑbefore her chance encounter with the charming and worldly Stroud. When he presses his card into her hand, Ever canÕt resist the temptation to step beyond the threshold of his dark realm. Under StroudÕs meticulous domination, Ever begins to realize the happiness that has eluded her, but sheÕs not prepared for the uncharted territory ahead. When Stroud introduces the brash, young Brooke into the relationship, Ever must quickly adapt, as the fantasy of domination by two masters becomes reality. Stroud embarks on a strict training program to prepare Ever to accommodate the younger manÕs brutish assaults, but this young masterÕs tendency toward violence drives Ever to the brink. Stroud and Brooke find themselves in a struggle, not only to keep Ever from leaving the triad, but to be the one who ultimately secures her devotion. As the plot of EverÕs own novel unfolds, there appears to be a shift in power and the leanings of her heart.
