The Domino Effect — Jill Elaine Hughes

DOMINO EFFECT, by Jill Elaine Hughes 21-year-old college student and aspiring journalist Nancy Delaney's nose for news smells a hot story idea when it comes to international playboy and artist Peter Rostovich. But as she works to get her story, she soon becomes intimately entangled with the mysterious Rostovich, who finds her irresistible. He becomes Nancy's ticket to sexual awakening, and she soon discovers she has an appetite for bondage, too. And there's far more to Rostovich than just his art -- he's involved in a strange, violent criminal underworld that kidnaps Nancy and spirits her halfway around the world, where she's held prisoner and made to serve as private Dominant-for-hire somewhere in the former Soviet Union. International intrigue, organized crime, human trafficking, and even ISIS dwell in the shadows there, and Rostovich dwells with them. But it's not clear whether Rostovich is good, evil, or perhaps a mix of both. Our hero Peter Rostovich is an elusive, enigmatic international artist who may or may not have ties to the Russian/Ukrainian mafia. Not only that, he has a taste for bondage, and uses BDSM imagery in his art. Virginal young heroine Nancy Delaney is a budding nymphet who captivates him. They'll get taken on a thrill ride that goes halfway around the world, involves international crime figures, toppling governments, underground spy rings and human-trafficking networks, Vladimir Putin-style scare tactics, and corruption everywhere. Nancy becomes internationally famous for both her investigative journalism and her sexual prowess as she navigates this dangerous world. But will the sexual powers Rostovich helped awaken in her be Nancy's only hope for escape?
