Out of the Darkness

“Out of the Darkness” takes place five years after the end of Lynn's relationship with James and is a more optimistic story of her emergence as a strong, confident woman who takes care of herself and excels at a responsible job. She is rocked emotionally when she meets Chase, a Dominant who is involved in education in his BDSM community. Fearful of falling into the same helpless position she occupied with James, she battles her powerful attraction to Chase and is delighted when she learns that Dominance and submission can be practiced in a responsible, consensual way that enhances her life. He mentors her, teaching her many aspects of the lifestyle that she had not previously understood, and she finds herself falling in love.
