In this "novella of salvation through submission . . . Stein has written a radiant ode to the mind—the biggest erogenous zone of all" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
I believed I would never be able to trust any man again. That kindness was only for fools and would lead me down that same terrible path into darkness. I thought so with every fiber of my being—and then I met Noah Gideon Grant.
Everyone says he's dangerous. He never comes out of his house—a place that looks like it could be featured in Serial Killers Monthly. But the thing is . . . I think something happened to him too. I know the chemistry between us isn't just in my head. I know he feels it, but he's holding back.
The pleasure he gives me is unreal. If only I could give something in return. If only he would let me in. I think I can make him feel something good. And for the first time in forever, I want to. He's made a labyrinth of himself. Now all I need to do is dare to find my way through.
