The Riding Crop — Karyn Gerrard

After a night of passion at her place of employment, an infamous club known as The Riding Crop, Olivia Durham tosses caution to the wind and departs with Gideon 'Lord Craven' Broyles. Olivia was known as 'Mistress Birch', where she dispensed lashings to her male, aristocratic clients. Now as she sits in the viscount's plush townhouse, she wonders if she's made a hasty decision.

Gideon Broyles is a man who selfishly pursued his debauched adventures with no thought for anyone but himself until he met Liv. An emotional plea to share everything has left him reeling. There are many obstacles to overcome, including his own doubts about his capacity to feel--anything.

Is it possible for two emotionally closed off people to find intimacy and lasting love? What lengths will they take to ensure happiness for two?
