Fatal Attraction: Love Me Till it Hurts Joan Lovejoy

When Bryn Mawr College senior Elizabeth Harper is asked to serve as the college's liaison to their annual Benefit Gala at Carrington Manor, she has little notion of her billionaire host's mysterious past, much less his dark intentions. Inexperienced and naïve, she immediately falls under his spell. Lured into a sexual cornucopia of bondage, discipline and submission, Elizabeth soon discovers she must plum the depths of her own sexual fantasies in order to win the heart of the man with whom she has fallen desperately in love. Fearing she is no longer in control of her emotions, Elizabeth turns to her best friend and roommate for comfort, only to discover there is no respite from this strange new hunger she feels. With her desire escalating out of control she lunges into Carrington's dark and disturbing world of hedonism and sexual gratification. Initially hesitant, Alexandra soon succumbs to his increasingly insistent demands. But when surrendering her body fails to satisfy his hunger, Elizabeth must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to win the affections of the man she has come to fear.
