Submissive Desires

Submissive Desires: Returned Book 2 When Kalysee Dawson accepts Cesare Kerek's proposal, she is ill prepared to leave everything and everyone she knows behind. Whisked away to the old country is like stepping back to a medieval period of castles and moats. Cesare's homeland, untouched by the age of time, is a culture shock to his blushing bride as she struggles to adjust to her new life as the Count's dutiful and submissive wife. Count Kerek claims his title and his right to punish his wife in the manner and as often as it pleases him. Sent on a fool's errand, Kalysee tests the limits her husband is willing to take to keep her safe. Punishment is harsh and briskly delivered as her gentle and dominant husband becomes the merciless ruler of his birthplace. A clever plan, a simple disguise, and with a little luck, Kalysee finds the strength to escape her prison. But can she truly be free of her husband and her submissive desires? A family crisis leaves Kalysee no choice but to seek the Count's help. But his assistance comes at a substantial price. She must willingly return to her duties as his submissive wife. The Count soon learns that the time apart has only increased his wife's recklessness and ability to get into serious trouble. Secrets are revealed as her estranged family descends upon his home. Cesare must find the patience to wait until her family is no longer under his roof before extracting the punishment she deserves for taking enormous risks with her life. An explosion takes a life as a vengeful plan continues to unfold. What is done may never be forgiven as their relationship is brought to its knees. Lies and betrayal may be the biggest test yet to her submissive desires. Punishment, pleasure, heartbreak and excitement are all here in CC Barrett's second installment of the bittersweet BDSM romance novels.
