À l'encre de tes chaînes Dans les hautes sphères de la ville, un club privé aux règles strictes et aux plaisirs inavouables attire les âmes en quête de contrôle et d'abandon. Maëlys, une femme déterminée, s’y rend pour la première fois, poussée par un désir qu’elle n’ose nommer.

Quand Maëlys découvre qu’Aleksandr la voulait bien avant cette nuit, qu’il a tissé autour d’elle un piège exquis et cruel, il est peut-être trop tard. Car elle ne sait plus si elle veut s’échapper… ou plonger encore plus profondément dans ses bras.
