To follow the line between control and surrender until it stops being a line and becomes a door.Early in the eBook youll be invited to choose how you want to walk this story: Chapter 9: Choose Your Path.

A more personal, unfiltered layer and exclusive outtakes: scenes that never made it into the spin-offs.
