Vanilla Island

Who is she for him — a toy, a fantasy, a slave? And what happens when the game is over? Vanilla Island offers readers a sensual yet psychologically rich romance with a most romantic HEA ending. A young woman — vulnerable yet quietly strong — agrees to a “contract” that binds her to the home of a charismatic but emotionally guarded businessman. What begins as a game of seduction and control soon deepens into something far more complex: a journey through desire, fear, and trust. Set against the backdrop of modern Russia and told in free-flowing lyrical prose with flashes of wit and a uniquely Russian melancholy, Vanilla Island is a novel about how love can transform even the most unusual relationships.
