Quintessentially Q

Tess belongs to Q, and Q belongs to her. Their bond began in captivity, where he knew her as slave fifty-eight, and it has no precedent to follow. Now the two of them have to work out where its limits lie.

Tess wants revenge on the men who sold her. Q has sworn a blood-oath to lay their corpses at her feet, and he intends to keep it. He is a monster by his own reckoning, but he is hers.

Q has lived with a conviction that something in him is twisted, that he craves what is dark and wrong on many levels. Tess, defiant and iron-willed, showed him a way to see that as a place where two wrongs can make a right.

This is a dark contemporary romance and the sequel to Tears of Tess, so it is best read after that book. The subject matter is heavy. Readers sensitive to grief, slavery and other hard themes should know the book deals with them directly.
