Publisher Description
Kai Chandler has it all. A thriving tech business, movie star friends, and a mansion in the Malibu hills. But he’s lonely, nursing a broken heart and reeling from a shocking breach of trust. Then a friend tells him about a secret chateau outside Paris where they train women in the erotic traditions of the Code d’Odalisque. For a million a year, Kai can choose a sexual servant to use at will, a woman thoroughly trained in the pleasuring of men.
Kai makes the trip and, in the course of touring the facility, meets Constance, a shy and strangely quiet odalisque. He decides to acquire the beautiful woman and bring her to his home. Constance and Kai delight in their voyage of erotic exploration as he plays undisputed Master to her slave. But soon they find themselves forming an increasingly emotional connection, with the end of Constance’s term of service looming over their heads. Jealousy, fear, regret and longing threaten to tear the lovers apart, and they must choose between the safety of the Code and the risk of true love and trust.

Customer Reviews
Frustrating
So tired of the anti-abortion messages in these books. They push all of these emotional and social boundaries, encouraging women to take control of their sexuality, their bodies, and their choices. But when it comes to abortion, the real victims are men. No nuance or perspective or recognition that an aborted pregnancy had any other alternative outcome than a happy, healthy baby and fulfilled family. Or that one aborted zygote can create room for a different healthy, happy child who would not have otherwise existed. There are too many happy, healthy children in my life who exist because their mothers had the option to abort an earlier, early pregnancy that would have derailed their lives and often their health for me to take these story lines of male privilege and anger over women taking control of their own bodies with anything more than lazy writing, shortcuts to create a female villain, and blindness to real, heartbreaking issues that otherwise coincide so well with the messages of choice and empowerment that this book and others like it do such a good job of promoting in such compassionate and alternative ways. Frustrating.
Disappointing
In comparison to the first two books, this was sadly a disappointment. I finished it hoping it would pick up at some point, it didn't.
