Description:

"Masterly and rich... Highly recommended." -- Library Journal (Starred Review) As the Jack-of-All-Wicked-Trades for a secretive French military intelligence agency, Lieutenant Kingsley Boissonneault has done it all--spied, lied, and killed under orders. But his latest assignment is quite out of the ordinary. His commanding officer's nephew has disappeared inside a sex cult, and Kingsley has been tasked with bringing him home to safety. The cult's holy book is Story of O, the infamous French novel of extreme sado-masochism. Their ch�teau is a looking-glass world where women reign and men are their willing slaves. Or are they willing? It's Kingsley's mission to find out. Once inside the ch�teau, however, Kingsley quickly falls under the erotic spell cast by the enigmatic Madame, a woman of wisdom, power, and beauty. She offers Kingsley the one thing he's always wanted. But the price? Giving up forever the only person he's ever loved.
