UNWOUND continues the sensual journey of Ronin Black and Amery Hardwick as they explore each other body and soul. The woman who had laid Ronin bare--who he'd showed his darkest sides--left him when she found out he'd been keeping secrets from her. Among them, that he is incredibly wealthy and not just the owner of a martial arts studio. To take his mind of his emotional pain since losing her, he enters a no-rules martial arts fight. Amery Hardwick gave all of herself to Ronin--gave him complete control. And he betrayed her trust by hiding his past and his wealth. But when she learns he's been hurt in a fight, she can't stop herself from going to him once more. When she sees him broken and hopeless, she wants to care for him. As he heals, Amery dares to hope that Ronin is finally strong enough to give her everything she needs... In the continuation to the Mastered series by New York Times bestselling author Lorelei James, a man's need for control is tested by the one woman he'll risk everything for... When sensei Ronin Black first encounters Amery Hardwick, the fire in her eyes ignites a sexual spark a thousand times better than the primal rush he used to get from mixed martial arts matches. She accepts his darker edges and admits to him that her desires aren't as wholesome as he believed. And before long Ronin is grappling with emotions he's never felt before.... Yet despite demanding Amery bare her body and soul to him, Ronin holds a part of himself back. When she learns Ronin's secret and walks out, his life begins to unravel. To regain her trust he must let go of his pride and prove to her that it's more than passion binding them together.
