Illicit Craving is the fifth book in the Bend To My Will series, a Rinaldi Romance that unfolds over a series of novellas. Jacob Rinaldi made his fortune in wine importing, and he travels the world. He is a billionaire with his choice of women but is obsessed with having Vivienne Lake. This is a steamy romance with BDSM elements. Throughout this hot love story, Jacob faces the darkness that threatens to engulf him. And Vivienne learns the joy of submission while teaching Jacob that love isn’t out of reach.

Vivienne’s relationship with Jacob is volatile.

But she can’t let go. The allure of intimacy and the heat of passion compel her to stay. Even though Jacob admits that he’s bad for Vivienne, she doesn’t care. She is strong and independent, yet her craving for Jacob is the driving force in her life.

“The one thing Vivienne wished was that Jacob would share his emotions. He could claim that it was all sexual, or just a physical thrill for him, but she knew better. In the heat of passion, she saw something more behind those blue eyes of his.

She just didn’t know what to call it. Jacob certainly experienced pleasure, but he hadn’t confessed that it was anything romantic. Yet the fire that burned in his eyes, and the way his heart pounded at intimate moments, was a giveaway. He wasn’t as cold as he would have her believe.”

If Vivienne crumbles the wall around Jacob’s heart, he might reveal a clue to his dark past.
