Degradation

Tate O'Shea was eighteen, a sheltered heiress who was innocent and timid. Jameson Kane, twenty-three, was sharp, alluring, and wealthier still. A single night together ended in chaos, and by morning Tate had lost her family, her fortune, and Jameson as well.

Seven years later Tate has built a comfortable life when she crosses paths with Jameson again. She believes she is now immune to his charm and has no trace left of the girl he once knew. He has changed too, and his cutting remarks and quick wit are as sharp as ever. Tate, who enjoys this kind of sparring, accepts his challenge, determined to prove she is no longer the person he once overpowered.

What follows is a series of contests between them, each more cunning than the last. As the boundary between play and real feeling starts to blur, Tate learns why Jameson is nicknamed "Satan." She must outmaneuver him before someone is hurt, or risk being left hollow while he claims victory for good.

Content warning: the novel includes an aspiring low-budget adult film actress, a detached personal assistant, frequent strong profanity, explicit sexual scenes, and sadomasochistic themes.
