VALERIA MUST KNEEL is Book Three of "Owned by the Master", a BDSM Master-Slave Romantic Suspense novel, and contains scenes of a darkly graphic and explicit nature. It is intended only for mature readers unaffected by triggers.
Valeria Renalda is not a woman you would think of as submissive-much less a slave.
And yet, she knew that was what Logan had wanted her to be, all those years ago when they had tried to be together... And failed.
But now she is back, asking Logan's help with a dangerous mission to Sarisco to stop the corrupt and malevolent Governor Mendoza, who fancies himself the Master of the Western Province. A mission that requires Logan's special skills.
Or does it? Does she need Logan's skills-or just Logan?
The moment she sees Logan again-with his electric emerald eyes, his huge, muscled body, his long, raven hair, and the tattoo on his shoulder of the raging phoenix rising from flames-Valeria cannot help but feel a reborn heat at her very core. And when she breaks into his bedchamber at the Monastery in the middle of the night, she sees him react to her the same way. A very big reaction!
But she cannot allow herself to be his. Valeria cannot kneel to Logan, the Master of the Monastery.
Can they perform the mission as professionals, without becoming entangled in each other's emotions once again? Or will their raw attraction and troubled history get in the way and cause the mission to fail?
And what will Mendoza do when he discovers they are coming to take him down?
Thrilling and explicitly sensual, VALERIA MUST KNEEL continues the arc begun in Books One and Two of the "Owned by the Master" series-MIRIA BECOMES HIS, and THE SINS OF ARLETH. This full-length novel can be read as a standalone, or for greater enjoyment and understanding of the world of the Darwellian Collapse, read Books One and Two as well.
