It is heart-wrenching, emotional, and weaves the reader into its spell as firmly as Sir Ethan’s ropes wrap up a little subbie. Can Ethan coax this wary woman into trust and prove to her that her submission can be a gift? And can he keep her safe when her past shows up to destroy her? She and Ethan don’t recognize each other immediately, but can’t deny the attraction between them. She loves dealing with people-but is terrified of Doms.

Now, years later, when they meet, Piper has established her own business. It was Ethan who said in her hearing that her contract was not enforceable-and gave her the incentive to run. Submissive Piper had been held as a slave by a vicious sadist masquerading as a Dom. We also have the chance to revisit the characters from the Dark Haven series: My Liege and Abbie, Dixon and Stan, Lindsay and Zander, and Simon and Rona all play a part in the tale.

But he admits the fault is his and does his best to correct the damage he’s done. Even better is the fact that he’s not perfect-his own past trips him up the same way Piper’s past does her. Sir Ethan Worthington is a caring, compassionate man, who, like Henry Higgins, falls in love with his own creation. Piper Delaney challenges any of Cherise’s heroines, with her bravery, willingness to help others, and ability to stand tall in the face of adversity. Once again the author has created a world where you want to step in and hug the characters, and develop a friendship with them. When I finish a Cherise Sinclair book, I want to turn around and read it all over again-and I Will Not Beg is no exception. Then her past finds her and destroys…everything. As he helps Piper overcome her fears, she starts to fall in love. He treats her like a person, not something to mistreat. He’s the Dom she’d dreamed about-perceptive, firm, and utterly self-confident. She’s intelligent, brave…and she needs him. Cynical at being pursued for his wealth, he finds Piper’s honesty compelling. Years before, he’d corrected her Master’s deceit about a contract.

The powerful English Dom recognizes the shivering submissive in his lap. When a submissive panics, Sir Ethan steps in. Hoping to conquer her fears, she visits Dark Haven, but the sounds of the club are too much. She longs for love, but the only men who truly attract her also terrify her–Dominants. She reclaims her life and rises above the nightmare that was her past.īut her enslavement left scars. Years later, beaten and starving, she hears an English Dom say the contract’s illegal. She’s told she can’t leave she signed the slave contract. Starved for affection, young Piper Delaney surrenders her life to a Master.
