Criminologist Sadie Bonds is no stranger to blood. Her connection to the disgusting, dark world of murderers began long before she began to apply her analytical skills to solving bloody crimes. She gets into the heads of criminals, penetrates their thoughts, establishes contact with them on an absolutely mystical level. Sadie prefers this way of working because it is much safer to identify herself with the villain than with the victim. At least that's how she dealt with stress after she was kidnapped and tortured when she was still a teenager. The role of the victim is no longer for her. Now she hones her skills to bring justice to criminals. Working side by side with her colleagues, armed with a sharp mind and a ZIG, Sadie always catches the sadists. Until one ruthless serial killer gets inside her head. He knows her secrets. Her innermost thoughts. The darkest and most twisted part of her soul. When she meets Colton Reed, the stakes are raised as he threatens to strip her of her control and reveal her most forbidden fantasies. A sinfully sexy bondage master in an exclusive BDSM club pushes a girl to the brink, forcing her to admit the part of herself that scares her. Plunged into a world of torture and suffering, pain and pleasure, Sadie balances as if on the razor blade of two intersecting worlds that threaten to engulf her. Passion and burning lust. The battle of light and darkness. This explosive start to the Broken Ties series sets the exciting pace of a game of cat and mouse where no one knows who is really pulling the strings.
