Frost

Escape seems the only sensible response to captivity, but the woman at the centre of Frost finds herself caught between resistance and an attraction she cannot easily explain. Her captor uses commands, humiliation and punishment to impose control, turning every attempt at defiance into another confrontation. Fear of death sharpens the need to get away, while the boundary between pain and desire becomes increasingly unstable. The choices available to her narrow as survival and surrender begin to overlap. Opening the Queens of Hell series, this dark sapphic romance places its relationship inside an explicitly coercive situation, where longing does not make freedom—or the danger of losing it—less important.
