Unabridged
A slow burn erotic lesbian romance featuring a dominant woman, intense power dynamics, and a dark, high-stakes fight for love, control, and survival.
Some mistresses understand power. Others only understand control. And one will stop at nothing to reclaim what she lost.
Victoria Fraser never meant to build a poly relationship with her passionate submissive Abby and her former lover Alison. But as their consensual BDSM dynamic deepens, old wounds begin to heal, new desires emerge, and something rare begins to take shape.
Then Mhairi returns.
Alison’s abusive ex-mistress is back from Thailand, bringing dangerous allies and a ruthless need to reclaim control. As tension tightens around them, Victoria must decide just how far she is willing to go to protect the women who have trusted her with their hearts.
This is a dark, high-stakes erotic lesbian romance exploring power exchange, consent, and the fragile strength of chosen family. Expect slow burn tension that turns incendiary, age-gap longing, and explicit scenes grounded in trust, care, and aftercare.

I loved it! It was such fun to listen to the audio book. I had already read the e-book. I have read the entire series and am starting again.. I have read many of your books and have enjoyed them all. The characters are so rich and wonderful. At first I hesitated about them because of the dom and sub subject matter. But the way the characters came to life with love and integrity and i fell in love hard. Thank you for changing my perception.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review.
It means a great deal to hear that you've not only read the series, but are now enjoying it again in audio. There's no greater compliment than a reread.
I'm especially touched by what you said about the dominant/submissive themes. One of the things that mattered most to me when writing those books was showing the women behind the labels. Their vulnerabilities, strengths, integrity, and capacity for love.
The fact that the characters changed your perception and found a place in your heart is something I'll treasure.
Thank you for reading, listening, and spending so much time with these women. I'm incredibly grateful for your support.
Excellent
I l loved this audio so much!! Having read the entire series and then onto The Turning, I’d forgotten just how emotional this book is! Amber did a cracking job at bringing it to life.
Looking forward to starting Mistress now! 👏🏼
Thank you so much for your review.
I'm really pleased to hear you enjoyed the audio of Darkness of Desire and that revisiting it brought all the emotion back for you. It means a great deal to know Amber’s narration brought the story to life so well.
I'm also glad you're continuing on to Mistress of Desire next. I hope you enjoy stepping back into that world again.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and for your support.

Listening to this amazing story the first time had me swooning, and the second time was even better. The characters, the story, and Amber Heart's sultry, seductive voice will keep you coming back time and time again begging for more.
Thank you so much for this.
I’m really glad Darkness of Desire had that effect on you, especially on a second listen. There’s something special about returning to a story and catching different layers each time, so it means a lot to know it kept pulling you back in.
And I love that Amber’s narration brought that extra depth and tone to it for you too. That voice really does become part of the story.
Thank you for taking the time to share this, it really means a lot.

God, this book is just so good and to hear it my ears while being able to potter around, was so handy!
The second book in the series gives us a better look at Abby exploring her new-found desires with Victoria. They exude the epitome of a healthy BDSM relationship built on trust and respect. I just can’t get enough of them!
Then Ruby Scott shows us the darker side, the repercussions of BDSM being exploited for all the wrong reasons. The comparison is jarring but incredibly important to show. And throughout it all, Amber Heart does a brilliant job in bringing this series to life!
I can’t wait for the rest of this series to be released on audio! 💜
Thank you so much for this lovely review.
It makes me incredibly happy to hear that you enjoyed experiencing the story in audio. There's something special about being able to take Abby and Victoria with you while you're getting on with the rest of your day.
One of the things that mattered most to me when writing this series was showing the trust, communication, and respect at the heart of Abby and Victoria's relationship. At the same time, I wanted to explore what happens when power is misused, and how different those two realities can be. I'm delighted that contrast resonated with you.
I'm also thrilled that Amber Heart's narration brought the story to life for you. She did a wonderful job capturing the emotion, tension, and connection between these characters.
Thank you for listening, for taking the time to leave a review, and for supporting the audiobook series. I can't wait for you to hear the rest of Abby and Victoria's journey.
