Summary

My mother sold her body to survive. I swore I never would. Until I found the letter she left behind. Until I learned the name of the man who destroyed my little sister. Until I realized there was only one way into his world. The Washington D. Bastards are rich, powerful, untouchable. Five men living in an old mansion behind iron gates in the heart of D.C. A lawyer. A doctor. A psychologist. A hockey captain. A media king. Leading the most exclusive escort service int the States. They train one woman at a time. Three months. Total discretion. Absolute obedience. One hundred thousand dollars if I survive their rules. To them, I am their newest project. A pretty girl from nowhere who needs money. A delicate body to shape, teach, discipline and sell to the most powerful men on the East Coast. They have no idea why I am really here. I did not come to be owned. I came to hunt.

Content Warning & Trigger List

🖤 Also not a fairy tale. 🖤

Sweetheart, please know before you start that Trained is darker than my previous books. Even darker than Captured.

This story was written for a publisher who specifically wanted something intense, raw, and deeply dark. That was a real challenge for me, because you know me. I love my men dark, dominant, dangerous, and morally grey, but always protective beneath all that damage and control.

So making this story even darker was not easy.

But I tried.

And because of that, I want you to go in prepared.

This book contains more bondage, restraints, BDSM elements, power dynamics, psychological pressure, dub-con, consensual dub-con, and one scene that comes very close to the edge of non-con. There are also themes of trauma, manipulation, grief, emotional survival, and a heroine who walks into the dark for reasons that are bigger than herself.

Please read only if you feel safe doing so. Skip whatever you need to skip. Protect your peace. Your mental health matters more than any book ever will.

But also remember this: Under all the darkness, there is light.

There is healing. There is love. And sometimes, the deeper the darkness, the stronger the tension, the more powerful the trust, and the more beautiful the way back into the light.

So be warned, honey. This one is dangerous.

Take care of yourself while reading.

And if you decide to step into the mansion anyway…

enjoy the ride, my little warrior.

Love, Sarah
