Intrusion

In this “novella of salvation through submission . . . Stein has written a radiant ode to the mind—the biggest erogenous zone of all” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).I believed I would never be able to trust any man again. That kindness was only for fools and would lead me down that same terrible path into darkness. I thought so with every fiber of my being—and then I met Noah Gideon Grant.Everyone says he’s dangerous. He never comes out of his house—a place that looks like it could be featured in Serial Killers Monthly. But the thing is . . . I think something happened to him too. I know the chemistry between us isn’t just in my head. I know he feels it, but he’s holding back. The pleasure he gives me is unreal. If only I could give something in return. If only he would let me in. I think I can make him feel something good. And for the first time in forever, I want to. He’s made a labyrinth of himself. Now all I need to do is dare to find my way through.
