To do so Crispin sets into motion events that bring about disastrous results. But in the end Keturah Jones is his.

"Don't Leave Me This Way" is a torrid BDSM love/hate story. The sex scenes are explicit. The betrayals in the story are extreme. The characters and their motivations will be left to your interpretation. The story starts in the past and hurls the reader ten years to the future. If you aren't a fan of BDSM this book is not for you.
