After a day full of punishments, public humiliation and roleplay, eighteen year-old Rosie is beginning to understand that there is a fine line between pain and pleasure. When Dr. Granville dismisses Ms. Anne from his office for the night so that he can... evaluate the productivity of Rosie's first day, she reflects on the events that led to their private meeting in his study.

Dr. Granville's particular interest in Rosie stems from her contradictory response to his methods and the unique questions posed by the effect Regression Therapy has had on her. Much to his delight, she has proven to be the challenge that will truly put his research to the test.

Neither of them know what the evening has in store but both Rosie and Dr. Granville are titillated with anticipation... And the good doctor is determined to figure out exactly what sparks the flame of Rosie's shameless and unabashed lust. Though, his more pressing concern is reminding Rosie that every insolent action has consequences and he is prepared to teach her that lesson the hard way.

Part VIII of The Prince's Bride Series is a steamy standalone story that can be read independently from the rest of the series but is best read in sequence!
