This engaging story provides a platform for studying complex characters with unusual needs and desires. Research indicates that a majority of people secretly or openly harbor nonviolent fantasies about being consensually restrained and teased by their partners and the shear number of bondage scenes in movies and TV sitcoms tends to confirm this assertion. This mainstream novel provides a socially acceptable way for those harboring such thoughts to explore their inner needs and fantasize about what could be. Unlike many writings addressing the subjects of bondage and submission, this endeavor offers an intriguing plot and complex characters that can appeal to a mainstream reader.
