If you loved Fifty Shades of Grey . . . get ready to enter The Dark Garden.
A deliciously potent tale of one woman’s quest for self-discovery.
Rowan Cassidy likes to be in charge—especially in her personal life. As a mistress at Club Privé, the most exclusive bondage/S & M club on the West Coast, Rowan can live out her dominant fantasies safely, and with complete control—until the night Christian Thorne walks in. Self-confident and sophisticated, he’s a natural dominant if Rowan’s ever seen one. Yet she can’t stop thinking about him and imagining his touch.
Christian has returned home, hoping to break free from his dissatisfaction and malaise—and discovers the cure in Rowan. He’s dying to get his skilled hands on her and watch her surrender, to unlock the mystery of her that captivates him. Determined to be her master, he makes Rowan a daring proposition: give herself over to him for thirty days.
Rowan finds Christian’s offer terrifying—and impossible to resist. But abandoning herself to Christian’s power might be more than she can handle. . . . Or it might be the realization of her true nature and the dark garden within her. There will be only one way to find out. And once the game has begun, there’s no turning back.

Review ~
Two powerful, dynamic characters drive this sexy BDSM novel like they stole it! Eden’s masterful prose sucked me into each and every scene, providing more than a voyeuristic experience.
After Rowan Cassidy meets Christian Thorne she finds herself in a restless state, needing help “to free her mind from the nagging images of this annoyingly fascinating stranger.” Christian is just as restless… “He hadn’t met a woman in a long time who challenged him, who made him think. They were all too easy. Too easy to figure out. Too easy to get into bed…” Until he met Rowan.
She must face her fears of being a bottom, fears festering for many years. But to witness Rowan’s surrender—the wicked pleasure—at the hands of a clever Dom was delightful to say the least. Christian is an amazing Dom, very in-tune with her…sensing what she needs to free herself from the trappings of her mind. He knows just how far he can push her…all the while remaining attentive and patient, making him that much more loveable for me. As he starts to make an impact on her life—on her soul—she questions whether she would end up meaning nothing to him … or if he would mean too much for her.
Eden Bradley’s The Dark Garden is on my bookshelf podium, spine ramrod straight with triumph and pride, knowing it’s my favorite!
