AcClaim by Jean Thesquare

She built her reputation on fantasies. Now she's caught in one she can't control.

Beatrix Winslow-Hale has spent a lifetime mastering the art of seduction, on the page and in real life. Her novels are provocative, bestselling, and ruthlessly intimate. To the public, she's untouchable: elegant, brilliant, always in command. But behind the literary acclaim lies a woman with scars, secrets, and a hunger she keeps buried beneath perfect prose.

... Until she meets Dorian Wolker.

A billionaire art collector with a reputation for never losing and a taste for the rare and dangerous, Dorian doesn't chase women, he attracts and ensnares them. When Beatrix becomes the focus of his attention, it's not a question of if she'll break her rules. It's how long it will take.

Secret auction. A game of cat and mouse neither of them wants to end.

But Dorian isn't just seductive. He's strategic. And Beatrix isn't just brilliant. She's a survivor.

What begins as a calculated power play escalates into a twisted romance where dominance is currency, desire is leverage, and surrender might mean losing everything. As Beatrix is pulled deeper into Dorian's orbit, from glittering salons to penthouse bedrooms, she finds herself increasingly falling apart. But a friend awaits to help her rebuild and show Dorian Walker that playing with fire can leave you with scorching marks.

Acclaim is a decadent, dark romance of psychological warfare, erotic discovery, and the unrelenting tension between control and vulnerability. Perfect for readers of Skye Warren, Sierra Simone, Ana Huang, and Pepper Winters, this novel delivers the kind of sharp, sensual narrative that lingers long after the final page.

Trigger Warning: This book contains explicit sexual content, BDSM dynamics, emotional manipulation, power imbalance, non-consensual sex, trauma recovery, and themes of obsession and revenge. Recommended for mature audiences 18+ only.
