SYNOPSIS:
Part Four: Passion
In the thrilling conclusion of Shelly Bell’s White Collared series, Kate and Jaxon are finally free to put the past behind them, but a shocking betrayal could have deadly consequences that neither saw coming.
Compelled by truth …
With Alyssa’s murder solved, Kate attempts to fix the damage to her relationship with Jaxon, but with his reputation and career destroyed by false accusations, Jaxon asks for time to consider their future. Yet as hard as Kate tries, she can’t extinguish her desire for Jaxon, or forget the pleasure she’s found in submission.
Dominated by love …
In an attempt to convince Jaxon they truly belong together, Kate allows him to dominate her completely, signifying her trust and proving her love. But just as everything she’s ever dreamed of is finally within her grasp, Kate discovers a chilling secret from Alyssa’s past that brings her world crashing down … and reveals a murderer hiding in plain sight.
5* REVIEW from Emthebookbabe:
This is a brilliant end to a brilliant series! I cannot say how much I have not only enjoyed this instalment but also the entire series. I love a good romance and the BDSM element has added to this journey but also I have absolutely LOVED the murder/thriller thread in this too.
And before I go on can I just say that I DID guess who had done it and was utterly surprised a the end of the last book with the way it had ended but I was slightly disappointed that I hadn’t guessed the culprit! And I wasn’t sure at all how this last part of the series was going to go. But I wasn’t disappointed. It is a great tie up of all of the loose ends of the series and finally we get to see the actual relevance of the elections too! What a fantastic small twist in the tale at the end this brought!
What more can I say – I have been left utterly satisfied with how this series has turned out and the ending is perfect! There are a lot of revelations and Kate really comes in to her own by the end. And any doubts I have had about Jaxon have also been totally wiped out too!
Well done Shelly, and i look forward to reading more for you very soon!
Five amazing stars!

BOOK TRAILER:
TEN MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT BDSM
- It’s all about sex.
TRUTH: BDSM is about many things and sex is only a part. It’s a consensual exchange of power.
- It’s all about pain.
TRUTH: BDSM stands for bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism. In other words, there are
a variety of ways people practice BDSM. Just because you’re a submissive doesn’t mean you’re a masochist and not all Dominants enjoy inflicting pain. Whips and chains are not required.
a variety of ways people practice BDSM. Just because you’re a submissive doesn’t mean you’re a masochist and not all Dominants enjoy inflicting pain. Whips and chains are not required.
- Sadists are killers.
TRUTH: Are some killers sadists? Yes. Are some sadists killers? Yes. But sadism in itself does not mean you’re prone toward violence. To qualify as BDSM, it must be consensual.
- Dominants are mostly men.
TRUTH: While most erotic romances about BDSM showcase male Dominants, female Dominants or Dommes are common.
- There’s only one way to practice it.
TRUTH: Every healthy relationship includes responsibilities, expectations, and boundaries. But what works in one relationship may not work for another. It’s the same in BDSM, only the responsibilities, expectations, and boundaries are explicitly negotiated.
- People who engage in the lifestyle are abusers or suffer from abuse.
TRUTH: BDSM is not abuse. First, it is consensual. Second, the masochist/submissive/bottom can use his/her safe word to stop it. Third, there is no research to suggest a higher incidence of previous abuse for those in the BDSM lifestyle than the general population.
7. People who engage in the lifestyle have a psychological condition.
TRUTH: The American Psychiatric Society no longer classifies participation in BDSM as a mental disorder.
8. People in the lifestyle are promiscuous.
TRUTH: There is no evidence to support that those who engage in BDSM are any more promiscuous than the general population.
9. No one you know practices it.
TRUTH: Want to bet? An estimated five to ten percent of people practice S&M, but plenty more tie up their lover in the bedroom (thirty percent). Ever allow a lover to blindfold you? In doing so, you’re consensually handing over power to him/her and trusting him/her to honor your boundaries. This is part of BDSM. Based on that definition, twenty percent of the population engages in the practice.
10. It is your business to know what happens behind closed doors.
TRUTH: Even if your neighbours are part of the lifestyle, it is none of your business. They have the same right to privacy as you, so unless they choose to divulge their sexual activities, don’t worry about it. They won’t bite you without your consent. J
