    In books such as the S/M classic Mr. Benson, Preston explored power exchange in all its battered beauty. The sex stories in I Once Had a Master combine a hard-core sensibility with rare psychological insight.In "Authenticity," a top turns down two fawning bottoms in full leather regalia in favor of the sweet-faced novice who offers genuine surrender. In "Pedro," a college boy has a summer affair with a truck driver and finds himself flirting with other men just to provoke his lover’s rage. The lonely bottom in "Interludes" develops his body to perfection, then seeks out the Daddy who will cherish this gift.

    

    All goes well -- until the police send in an undercover cop who turns out to be Phil's treacherous one-time lover.

    Toby felt an unfamiliar exultation when Jake gently brushed her cheek with his fingers, summoning forth a sensation of warmth and womanliness she'd never thought herself capable of feeling. — Her innocence of heart and spirit was a revelation to Jake, who'd never loved a woman as he loved Toby -- a fragile lady with secrets she couldn't share. What began as a special friendship blossomed into a sweetly mature love, but could Jake's tender caresses give Toby the courage to face the demons that haunted her dreams?
