    "description": "If you loved Fifty Shades of Grey . . . get ready to enter The Dark Garden.\n\nA deliciously potent tale of one woman\u2019s quest for self-discovery.\n\nRowan Cassidy likes to be in charge\u2014especially in her personal life. As a mistress at Club Priv\u00e9, the most exclusive bondage/S & M club on the West Coast, Rowan can live out her dominant fantasies safely, and with complete control\u2014until the night Christian Thorne walks in. Self-confident and sophisticated, he\u2019s a natural dominant if Rowan\u2019s ever seen one. Yet she can\u2019t stop thinking about him and imagining his touch.\n\nChristian has returned home, hoping to break free from his dissatisfaction and malaise\u2014and discovers the cure in Rowan. He\u2019s dying to get his skilled hands on her and watch her surrender, to unlock the mystery of her that captivates him. Determined to be her master, he makes Rowan a daring proposition: give herself over to him for thirty days.\n\nRowan finds Christian\u2019s offer terrifying\u2014and impossible to resist. But abandoning herself to Christian\u2019s power might be more than she can handle. . . . Or it might be the realization of her true nature and the dark garden within her. There will be only one way to find out. And once the game has begun, there\u2019s no turning back.",
