Lilly travels from London to Sydney because her mother is grieving and sick and needs to be looked after. Her Mistress, Rosalind, comes with her, but cannot stay in Sydney. Through their friend Cressida they meet a Sydney Dom, Aldous. Aldous soon shows his interest in Lilly, and Lilly finds herself returning that interest. Lilly would like to be with Aldous while she's looking after her mother, but the decision is Rosalind's, and she is more skeptical. Can Aldous convince Rosalind that her loved Lilly will be in good, loving hands when Lilly is in Sydney and Rosalind has gone back to London? Can Rosalind find a new love after losing her loved girl Lilly? A young woman, Petulia, seems to love Rosalind despite their short acquaintance, but can Rosalind trust that her feelings and Petulia's are real? Can Cressida find someone worthy of her? This is a very hot, steamy and emotional bdsm story, as people face change and must find ways to adapt to loss and make their futures loving and happy. "I think this might be the sexiest love story I've ever read. I like these people, both dominant and submissive, and their interaction – the sex they have – is both incredibly erotic and completely believable at the human level." Sarah Tansley, reviewer. From: Dinner with Lilly Rosalind nodded. "I think we have similar styles, Aldous. I know that I love Lilly, and handing her on to another Mistress or, for god's sake, Master, is going to be the hardest thing I've done in my life so far. You have no idea." "I'm sure I don't. But I already know that if I owned her, losing her would destroy me." "You call her rosebug. Hearing that name makes me sad. I do think it's a good name, and fitting. Lilly explained it to me. But when I hear it, it tells me that my Lilly is moving away from the woman I know and becoming a new person. My Lilly, your rosebug." I nodded. "I meant it as a gift to, um, Lilly. I certainly didn't want to cause you pain."
