Steamy Explorations of BDSM Dynamics
Fort St. Clair meets Juliet outside a BDSM club, drunk and almost incoherent, and despite his typical unwillingness to get involved, takes pity on her. Juliet wakes up the next morning cuffed to Fort's bed, and despite her initial misgivings, finds herself attracted to her reluctant savior.
As a sexual sadist, Fort doesn't DO relationships. He finds willing women in the private club called The Gallery who know exactly what Fort wants - consensual non-consent, and lots of pain. Juliet's wide-eyed innocence and willingness to explore Fort's darker urges proves irresistible, and despite Fort's resistance, a relationship blossoms.
Dark Control is one of Joseph's grittier novels. The world of consensual non-consent is tricky - there are no safe words, and no way out once a scene is started. But Juliet enters each scene willingly, and despite the intensity, every scene is consensual. Lovers of darker erotica will enjoy Fort's devious scenes and with a satisfying happily-ever-after, fans of Joseph's works will have a new favorite hero.
