Mastering Her Senses by Laura Kaye

Mastering Her Senses by Laura Kaye

Quinton Ross has always been a thrill-seeker—so it’s no surprise that he’s drawn to extremes in the bedroom and at his BDSM club, Blasphemy, where he creates sense-depriving scenarios that blow submissives’ minds. Now if he could just find one who needs the rush as much as him. Cassia Locke hasn’t played at Blasphemy since a caving accident left her with a paralyzing fear of the dark.
