SLAVE
When Jenny Ashton, an attractive, strong willed, and successful young business woman, begins chatting to an intriguing stranger over the Internet, she sets in motion a chain of events that soon lead to her own kidnapping. Finding herself incarcerated in a large and remote country house, she quickly discovers that her captor has some very unorthodox tastes, which include plans to train her as his personal concubine. And so begins a psychological battle of wits, with Jenny pitting her steely defiance against her captor’s rigid determination and patience. But as the days unfold and Jenny grows used to her new regime and surroundings, she begins to understand that there’s a lot more to her eccentric host than first meets the eye.
