Rude Awakening (Paperback)

One man, one woman...both having a rude awakening. Will Ruby's ex-Master succeed in his kidnap plan? Harry Knowles has taught subs for years but hasn't found a subservient woman he'd like to spend the rest of his life with...until the beautiful Ruby comes into his life, stumbling onto his property in the snow and collapsing from exhaustion. He takes her into his home and nurtures her, showing her that the BDSM lifestyle she'd previously been living wasn't what BDSM is all about. Ruby has run from an abusive relationship. Having shared the past few years with a sadistic man, she's skittish and unsure of herself, but Harry encourages her to blossom. He teaches her not only the true meaning of BDSM but also to love herself-something she's failed to do in the past. Their life has the promise of being idyllic, but her former lover, a man known only as Master, has other ideas on that score...
