This is the complete trilogy.
Part One Description: Melita has lived a charmed life, raised sheltered by her family and romanced by her best friend Liam through her teen years. Her world is turned upside down when she is sent to New York to meet the man she has been promised to, handsome multibillionaire Jack Kemble. Leaving behind everything she's ever known for a man she's never met proves to be more challenging than Melita could have imagined, especially when Jack requests that she spend a week at a BDSM school in California.
Part Two Description: Melita continues to display reluctance while attending the Napa Valley Body Awareness Resort, an exclusive BDSM school. Caught between trying to please her fiance and holding onto her moral values, Melita battles an internal debate as to whether or not she can make it through to graduation. Classes have just begun though, and she still has a long way to go.
Part Three Description: Melita returns to New York with guns blazing, and Jack is in her cross hairs. Either Jack can agree to teach her about BDSM himself, or Melita will be on the next plane back to Texas. Will Jack's hands-on lessons be able to heal their shattered relationship, or will he drive her further into the arms of another?

It was one of the saddest yet happiest days of my life. In a few short hours, I would be flying to meet the man I had been promised to, young and wealthy multibillionaire Jack Kemble. He was practically a movie star—a man of every woman's dreams, with a chiseled physique and a smile that could stop you dead in your tracks.
It wasn't all happy times though. As I sat in my room, my gaze darted to all the memories on my bedroom walls, avoiding the eyes of the man in front of me. Liam and I had been best friends since kindergarten, and as the years turned us from innocent children into young adults, it had been clear that he wanted something more. Still, my arranged marriage had kept any feelings that I had for him at bay, and he had suffered through it, just content to be by my side.
Now I would have to say goodbye to him forever, and I could almost feel his heart breaking as he stared at me longingly, memorizing all of my features so that he could keep me with him like one of the photographs on the wall.
“Please reconsider, Melita. You know you don't want this,” his voice was strained, and I could hear the crisp pain in his words.
“You know that I have to do this for my family.” I let my eyes fall to my hands, and then they instinctively crossed my lap to his. His thick fingers twitched, and I couldn't help but remember all the times those same unsteady hands had held me in my moments of darkness. How would I ever survive without those strong hands to comfort me?
The tears began to flow, despite my resolve not to cry. Crying would only weaken both of us, and I didn't want to hurt him anymore than I already had.
“What if you don't love this man?” he asked.
“People don't always marry for love,” I reminded him, trying to recall the lessons my mother had taught me.
