Surely you played bondage games in your bedroom, doesn’t everyone…?

… asks the dominatrix of William’s recently divorced wife. The answer she receives is revealing.

William is an ambitious researcher with a fetish for bondage who, while awaiting his divorce, has already been seduced by Betty, a Dutch academic who ‘knows the ropes’. Her life-long best friend just happens to be that same dominatrix who has been hit by love at first sight. So, things become complicated in this open-minded adult romance of alternative intimacies.

Led by ambition and ignoring warning signs, William agrees to pilot a study of feminine dominance in the UK. But his fetish makes him easy prey for the dominatrices he ‘interviews’ and he is soon ‘bound’ to confront other aspects of his sexual identity.

A suspense-packed who’s who tale, Tied Down? invites the reader to solve the mystery as William tries to conceal his poor decisions. Inevitably, it affects Betty’s feelings for him, and jeopardises his career. But when he seeks help, the cost proves frighteningly high. Meanwhile, his ex-wife still wants William to suffer for divorcing her, and an awful choice awaits. What will poor William do? Will he ever be happily tied down?
