Bait is a very spicy detailed CNC story. It follows Abigail and Leo (also known as Phoenix) both have had very recent very dark personal trauma. They meet on a website where their mutual need for ‘the chase’ draws them together, when he agrees to be her monster in the dark.

This book is heavy on the trigger warnings - CNC, grief, child loss, death, child trauma. Please check your trigger warnings before reading.

Personally I do not enjoy degradation and whilst it’s not heavy in this book there is mention of it, and for me I didn’t enjoy that element.

If you enjoy a spicy CNC story then this is the one for you. There is plot with the trauma they both they have both experienced and the drama still unfoldling as a result

of it.
