In a novel that’s perfect for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey, Stacey Kennedy returns to Club Sin with another wicked and wild tale of submission, seduction, and love.

At Las Vegas’s exclusive Club Sin, Aidan Knight is the Master, unleashing the erotic yearnings of his submissive lovers. But his dominant façade conceals a devastating loss—something he instantly recognizes in his personally trained submissive Cora Adams. Sworn to unearth her secrets, Aidan uses his seductive skills to ignite her wildest desires until Cora yields to the pleasure she can find only with him.

Cora came to the BDSM club to act out her sub-and-dom fantasies without ever revealing the heartbreak that haunts her. But Aidan’s masterful touch is bringing her closer to the edge . . . and deeper into a world of control and surrender. He refuses to allow her to submit to any other man—nor does she want to. It’s a dangerous game they’re playing. For as they give in to passion, they must lay bare their souls for a love that could heal—and free—them both.

Bared is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Book Review

Bared starts out hot and heavy. Submissive Cora Adams is in a scene with her Dom, Aidan Knight at Club Sin. They have played together for the last two years. The tension between the two are palpable and the scene is highly erotic. Aidan is a caring Dom and Cora's trust for this man is shown in her surrender.

It is obvious that Aidan cares deeply for his sub, but the boundaries of their friendship have never been crossed. Aidan cannot move past the death of Lily, his ex-girlfriend. Aidan keeps his emotions closed off from Cora.  For now, she has his body and she accepts the tiny pieces that he gives her.

But after waiting for two years for Aidan to realize what he has in front of him, Cora reaches a critical point where Aidan's dominance is not enough. She wants more. And the sacrifices she has made has left her feeling incomplete.

Aidan knows something is bothering Cora. He sees the pain and grief in her eyes and demands to know what is going on. Cora's inability to admit her heart's desires causes friction between Aidan and Cora, ultimately bringing them to an impasse.

When Cora finally bares all to Aidan and they share an emotional night in the wilderness, will Aidan be able to accept her heart? Or will he be afraid to fail another sub's needs?

Bared is an emotional and erotic read where two souls take a risk and bare everything for love.
