Quatrième de couverture :
A memoir of beauty, love, desire and pain ...
He wants to stare at my shiny catsuit and thigh-high boots through the bars of a cage. He likes the scratching of nails, the click of high heels, and a chorus of ladies' cackling laughter. He wants me to wear tan-coloured tights, seamed silk stockings, an army uniform, a pencil skirt, a graduation robe, a cape, a smirk and a snarl. He wants me to be caring and cruel, sly and sexy, mysterious, psychic, suggestive, intuitive.
As a professional chef Susan Winemaker pushes the boundaries of flavours and textures to create sensational clashes of taste. As a London dominatrix she applies the same approach when exacting confessions, administering punishments and tormenting her clients into ecstasy. She introduces us to a fascinating array of characters before breaking the cardinal rule of her profession and falling in love with a client, a man addicted to danger and sensation. As they take their games outside the dungeon and into their everyday lives, their sexual chemistry becomes the catalyst for a relationship taken to a level most of us never dare experience.
Honest, brave and beautifully written, this true-life memoir is a spellbinding exploration of modern erotic extremes.

The chemistry between the author and her lover - a high-powered City executive addicted to extreme physical sensation - becomes the catalyst for a deeper and more intimate exploration of their desires. As they take the games out of the dungeon and into their everyday lives, the consequences of their union make addictive reading, and we learn something about relationships taken to a level most of us never dare experience.
