"The best rope/kink resource I've seen in years." -Stacy W., psychologist

Good girl Melanie, appropriate right down to her ironed panties, believes her fairy-tale dreams are coming true when she lands a dashingly dominant, wealthy husband and a four-bedroom spread in a tony suburb. But when dominant turns to despotic and then to disappearance and betrayal, meek Melanie is forced to eke out an income doing something more deviant than she'd ever dreamed and the choice takes her humdrum life on a wild new path.Whether you're a mother who wonders, "Is this all there is?" or you strive to be good and get treated badly for it--or you just love a juicy story--Melanie's transformation from unassuming to unbridled will captivate your heart and inspire your imagination. A kinkalicious page-turner that combines the drama of Real Housewives with the feel-good spirit of an Oprah show, The Making of Miss M will charm and entertain not just those who love dominance, submission, and kinky sex, but anyone who longs to be truly fulfilled in life and doesn't know how.
