Book 5: The Reunion
Book Five, The Reunion, brings back two of the most popular characters
Of course the vacation resort isn’t just any resort, it’s Kaleigh Castle, a centuries-old Irish castle that is now a luxury 4-star hotel and happens to be where Chris learned many of the skills and practices that have made him so sought-after in the Marketplace. And while everyone enjoys their two most favorite indoor sports–gossip and sex–trouble is afoot. A nosey reporter thinks he’s onto something: a real-life international slave trading ring. For Robin, now a veteran slave, the week at Kaleigh Castle will give her time to consider whether she is ready to return to the auction block. During the Reunion, she will meet slaves from all walks of life, as well as their spouses, significant others, and even children. Some of her new friends are also struggling with their own futures, whether they are still in the Marketplace, retired, or returning to service. Chris, never completely on holiday, hopes to meet with a handsome young Earl and his millionaire American bride, whose talents for slave-training have gained them special attention. . . including the attention of one tabloid reporter, who is hoping for the biggest story of his career. Can Chris keep the world from learning the truth about The Marketplace, but accept the truth about his feelings regarding Robin, Anderson, and Jiro at the same time? |

“But why go on a vacation of all slaves?” Carol had asked. “It’s not just a vacation,” Winifred said firmly. “It’s a Reunion. Slaves from all walks of life, from all over the world go to Reunion events. Some will be taking their scheduled breaks, and others, who are retired, will be there for the camaraderie and the shared history. But many attend when they are in transition.” Winifred looked at Carol meaningfully, and Carol grasped at the word. “If they’re between contracts, thinking of expanding their skills, considering retiring, or, like you, wondering about returning, the Reunions are wonderful opportunities to network and gather information from other slaves. It’s a chance to meet pleasure slaves from the Middle East, butlers from Great Britain, executives from the corporate owners – Reunions are the place to find them all together. And, they’re a perfect place to be able to safely talk about your experiences and dreams with people who will understand you.” Read more now….The Reunion
