“Gina’s Education was a first
attempt at writing an erotic novel and I kept shelving it, not satisfied with
the story,” explained the author. “About forty edits and seven years later, I
entered the First Annual BDSM Writers Con book contest with the hope of making
it into the finals. Imagine my surprise to be awarded the prize of a book
contract!”
“I loved editing Gina’s Education,”
said Riverdale Publisher Lori Perkins.
“It is a very creative retelling of the classic BDSM fairy tale, with
memorable characters and some hot twists and turns.”
Gina’s Education tells the story of Gina Perry, down on her luck after her identity has been stolen, who applies for a job as a domestic servant, or so she thought, and quickly finds herself naked in every sense. This job is psychologically challenging. Her new employer insists she call him Master, and there is a price to pay for not complying. A good Master, he pushes her limits and makes her grow. He teaches her about bondage and discipline, dominance and submission.
Master Robert re-names her Rose and gives her hope, but she isn’t sure she is up to the task. She’ll have to get to know herself on a much deeper level than most people ever discover.
Master Robert seldom shows emotion. Rose sparks
something in him that he’s never realized before; a need to protect her, and
not just in the games. While he’s learning about her, the depths of his
feelings toward her surprise him. Robert’s never been in love and he resists,
but he can’t resist his pride in her.
Robert sets out to right the wrong done to her and discovered a lot more
than he expected.
