Tender Mercies

Grace Warner has tired of casual kink and relocates to an island where erotic enslavement is openly practiced, hoping to join a man she has only met online. Her first hours there go badly, as nearly all of her freedoms are stripped away at once, and she soon concludes that playing at submission is far easier to bear than being held as property in earnest. Asher Collins has spent the past year grieving Darcy, the slave under his ownership who died, and he holds himself responsible for her loss. When Grace draws his notice at a showing, plainly mistreated, he becomes fixated on buying her and on finding some way to make amends for his own past wrongs. This is a work of fiction. The author does not endorse or excuse harm done to anyone without consent. The book contains material unsuitable for minors, including depictions of abuse, slavery, dubious consent, and anal play.
