Publisher's Summary:
Welcome to the Castle.
Hannah Alder used to know who she was. She used to be strong. She had confidence. Then "the thing" happened, and suddenly Hannah seems to have lost everything...including herself.
Freshly released from her father's hospital, she is banished from home and sent to live with an uncle who puts her to work for the summer, interning under the chief building inspector in a small Ohio town. No one knows her, yet somehow everyone seems to know exactly why she's there.
It's while she's on the job that Hannah first discovers the Castle: a massive stone structure set in the wheat fields of Ohio. It's soon to be the vacation destination for the kink-inclined...if the Doms who run it can ever get it properly permitted and licensed. But Hannah's nasty boss is determined to prevent that from happening. While on an inspection visit, one Dom in particular catches Hannah's eye: Master Sam. He's strong, dark, and wickedly attractive - every inch of him the very last thing someone like Hannah needs in her life.
Sam Cooper sees Hannah coming a mile away, looking horribly out of place in a poorly fitted business suit. She's the Girl Friday to the building inspector who's determined to shut them down before they even open. Sam is experienced in the BDSM world, a partner in a major kink-friendly resort, so this is definitely not his first rodeo. Yet what he sees in Hannah's astonished eyes, as he gives her a private tour of the Castle, makes him do something he can't believe: He slips her his business card.
Will Hannah call? Of course not. Not when she's working so hard to get back everything she's lost. She's getting better, after all....
Sometimes what you fight the hardest is what you need the most.

Holding Hannah Holds Your Attention
So far, I've loved everything I've read by this author, and this book is no exception. Skillfully written, and exceptionally well edited (NO mistakes found, at all!), this book delves into a subject I would have avoided if I had known ahead of time what it was about.
I'm glad I didn't, because my own closed mindedness, would have caused me to miss a great read, and would have precluded my gaining a certain amount of understanding. I guarantee, you'll like Hannah and feel empathy for her. You'll also be intrigued by Sam, the hunky, dark dom who comes to her rescue.
If you're OK with BDSM and with explicit sex scenes, I heartily recommend "Holding Hannah" and the other books in this series.
Well Written - Good Characters - Interesting Plot - HOT Story
I will admit to having a strong preference for well-written stories that feature good, well-developed characters and interesting plots. Far too many of the free ebooks on this site are full of typos, poor word choices, missing or wrong punctuation, characters that do things that make no sense, and plots with holes big enough to drive a stampede of elephants through. So, when I find a FREE story that lacks those flaws, I am pleasantly surprised, especially when it is by an author I have never heard of, despite her having many stories here on Amazon.
This is a very explicit, adult story, involving grown-ups doing grown-up things. It is NSFW, not PC, and involves alpha males, a female with serious issues, and sex so hot it will curl your toes.
