[The Power to Please 04] • The Submissive's Last Word

**The powerful conclusion to Nonnie Crawford’s remarkable journey**

Despondent and adrift, Nonnie lingers in self-enforced exile on Gibson Reeve’s estate. The daunting task of rebuilding her life seems more than she can face.

*I’d never been anywhere so magical, so perfectly easy, and maybe that was why I couldn’t make a plan, why I couldn’t move. Any plans I might make involved leaving. No one in their right mind would want to leave this place. Or these people.

Or one powerful man in particular, a man who visited me in my dreams and called me beautiful, who touched me in a way that made me believe no one had ever humiliated or degraded me. With him I felt whole again. Maybe only with him. Maybe only here.

How could I move if the only path I could travel led me away from what I needed most?*

Nonnie has more allies than she realizes, chief among them Gibson Reeves. His knowledge can help her heal, if only she’ll trust him and listen to some hard truths.

Trust and truth. They’ll need both as they try to find their way back to one another, while they struggle to earn indestructible love ... and when at long last, they reach to claim the ultimate power to please.

*Warning: adult material. This book contains explicit language and scenes of a sexual nature, including exhibitionism, light bondage and consensual domination and submission, which some readers may find objectionable.*
