About this ebook
An abducted dominatrix must find a way to survive in the continuation of this dark erotic romance series by a USA Today–bestselling author.
Nora Sutherlin is in handcuffs, held captive by two men. Under different circumstances, she would enjoy the situation immensely, but her captors aren’t interested in play. Or pity.
As the reality of her impending peril unfolds, Nora becomes Scheherazade, buying each hour of her life with stories—sensual tales of Søren, Kingsley and Wesley, each of whom has tempted and tested and tortured her in his own way. This, Nora realizes, is her life: nothing so simple, so vanilla, as a mere love triangle for her. It’s a knot in a silken cord, a tangled mass of longings of the body and the heart and the mind. And it may unravel at any moment.
But in Nora’s world, no one is ever truly powerless—a cadre of her friends, protectors and lovers stands ready to do anything to save her, even when the only certainty seems to be sacrifice and heartbreak . . . .

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Kathleen is a lady's maid, but she takes a dare, borrows her mistress' gown and jewels, and attends the ball, attracting the attention of wealthy catch of the season, Dylan. Dylan is a con artist and master of illusion, and his wealth is an illusion. But when he and Kathleen marry during the fire, she refuses to cut him loose afterwards...and he's not sure that he wants to skip town this time after all.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I just didn't like the characters. I'm sure it was a personal thing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Set the night of the great fire in Chicago, this is the story of Kathleen and Dylan, two people who come together on this terrifying night, under false pretenses, and grow to love each other. Sounds far-fetched, doesn't it? It really is. Kathleen O'Leary (yes, the daughter of the Old Mother Leary who is ultimately blamed for the raging inferno that leveled the city) is a lady's maid. Her mistress is not feeling well and so two of her mistress' friends dress her in finery in a social experiment. One wagers that she can be Pygmalion-like and pass for a lady of the upper crust so long as she looks and acts the part. The other thinks that blood will out. Kathleen, having longed all her life for the life of the monied set, agrees to the charade. While dressed as an heiress, she meets Dylan Francis Kennedy, heir to a Boston fortune and the most sought after man in Chicago at the moment. Only he's not who he appears either. He's a confidence man and while truly captivated by Kathleen's beauty, he sees in her a chance to marry (or seduce if needs be) money. And just when the two main characters are sparking off of each other, the sparks of the actual fire start to fly, scattering the gathering and seperating Kathleen and Dylan.Through unbelievable coincidence, the two of them come together again in the heart of the fire, gathering people to them and enduring terrible peril together. And this is when, sure that they will not survive the night, they get married in front of a priest, the mayor of the city of Chicago, a judge, the dying clerk of court, and a freed convict. Not exactly the wedding Kathleen had long dreamed about. Of course, the two of them survive the fire and spend several days consummating their marriage. But before long, Kathleen must tell her wealthy husband that she is not, in fact, an heiress. And then he, shocked beyond belief that she's managed, even unintentionally, to trick the trickster, admits he is not who he claims to be either and storms off. Is their love strong enough to hold in the face of all these lies?While I understand that people do things spur of the moment during times of danger which they might later come to regret, I am unconvinced about the depth of the purported love these two felt for each other. After all, they knew each other for a grand total of about 72 hours before the truth came out and destroyed their union. What in that 72 hours would be strong enough to pull them back together later? I would likely always have had a difficult time believing in such a plot but Wiggs doesn't really sell the idea of this instantaneous and forever love. In addition, Dylan is drawn as completely unappealing. He is completely unrepentant for his lying, cheating, and stealing through the majority of his life. Even presented with Kathleen's strong sense of right and wrong, he is incapable of understanding morality. And while I get that he thought he'd been abandoned as a child and was therefore unloved, that doesn't excuse his character entirely. As for Kathleen, I found her wishy-washy and rather dull. Combined, the characters didn't help me want to believe in their story. The setting was a new one for me and unique in that but otherwise, this was not one of my favorite romances.
