Expanding on the world she created in Catalyst: Stories of Awakening, K.L. Joy brings more sensual delights and forbidden pleasures to light in Desire: Stories of Longing. Ex-stripper GG, now remade as the confident Domina, Lady Vivianne, has all that she could have wanted: a growing corsetry business, her dear friends Victor and Kate, and now Rhiannon, her faithful submissive.

There is such a thing as too much success, though, and the demands of her business quickly outgrow the confines of her home. Fortunately, her mentor Victor steps in with an offer of a physical shop, going so far as to set everything up and assign one of his trusted assistants, Belle, to help with the operations. For Vivianne, it seems too good to be true. But Belle is a budding submissive in her own right, and the mutual attraction between her and Vivianne does not go unnoticed by the neglected and jealous Rhiannon.

All too quickly, Vivianne finds herself again in over her head, torn between lovers and still haunted by a past determined not to let her be. The tighter she grips, the more she loses control, and this time it may be more than even her closest friends and allies can pull her back from.
