One touch can unravel a lifetime of silence.
Annie Duclair has built her life on control. At thirty-seven, she is a regional manager at Atlantic Maritime Insurance, a mother of two, and a woman who has learned to keep desire neatly folded away.
Then Seo-ra Choi walks into her office.
Polished. Self-possessed. Impossible to ignore.
What begins as a glance becomes an awakening, not only to another woman, but to a language Annie has spent decades trying to forget. Satin against skin. Restraint and release. Power given and taken with intention.
Their connection deepens into a consensual exploration of dominance and trust, where texture becomes memory and sensation becomes truth. Desire does not unfold in isolation. Annie's marriage strains. Her carefully ordered life begins to fracture. Stepping into what she wants may cost her everything she has built.
Inside the Nylon Shell is the first volume of The Saltwind Chronicles, a sapphic BDSM saga set against the fog and tide of Atlantic Canada. It is a story of awakening, control, and the dangerous beauty of claiming one's own longing.
