Belle
An Unbowed Romance
Part One
by Liz Meldon
Rule #1: Never fall in love with the client.
Belle
I’m terrified.
I’ve never done this before—two months on a private island, isolated from the rest of the world, just me and my new client.
A client who wants my unwavering submission.
What if I’m a horrible submissive? What if I fail?
Worst of all—what if I fall for the man I know I can’t have?
Protect your heart, Belle, I tell myself. Protect it when he smiles at you, kisses you, binds you. Don’t let Dean Donahue have it, as tempted as you are to surrender it.
Because escorts don’t get fairy tale endings. We get paid.
Dean
I’ve wanted her from the first moment I saw her.
Belle Bennet, escort. Darling Belle, sweet girl, on her knees, bound and gagged, writhing in pleasure—or pain. The choice is mine.
She is mine. Perfect in her naivety, she’s the submissive I’ve been waiting my whole life to claim.
And for the next two months, I intend to have her—mind, body, and soul—any damn way I see fit.
The Unbowed series is made up of duet standalone romances featuring escorts and the rich, alpha men who love them. It contains steamy content, including consensual kink, and may not be suitable for all readers.

Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A wealthy man, a highly paid escort, and a straightforward contract with everything laid out in black and white. Should be simple enough, right? Except the lines get blurred, the rules get broken, and hearts aren't bound by contracts. The story is loosely reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast, including the forbidden area of the house, and broken down, it really isn't anything new - arranged Dom/Sub relationship, a bit of kink, reward and punishment, limits tested. It's all been done, but when you combine that with Meldon's draw you in and hang on tight writing style and characters that feel so real they practically leap off the page, it all somehow feels new. Belle and Dean's relationship may start out as an arrangement with strict BDSM guidelines, but as expected, it begins to develop into something more. This one takes us through those emotions, bit by bit, and makes us feel thngs - the anxiety, trepidation, trust formed and broken, the hurt, and the hope. It's all there, and this is just the beginning of their story. The ending is more open-ended than cliffhanger, but it certainly has this reader tapping her foot in anticipation for what comes next.
