Gift-Wrapped in Desire: My Husband's Betrayal

Desiree Lockhart has always been unusually sensitive to touch, a trait her husband once adored. Two years into their marriage, his eagerness has faded to detached duty, and he now treats her sensitivity as an illness in need of treatment. Convinced by articles and gossip, he calmly arranges an examination at the private Pamdeeter Hospital in Reinwood, where he claims good connections.

At the hospital, the doctor instructs her to undress and lies her on the examination table, a curtain dividing her body. When the staff leave, she is alone with Dr. Mason. Her husband peeks around the curtain with a strange smile, joking with the director about her body while Dr. Mason promises a thorough examination. Restraints lock her legs in place, and she cannot move.

Betrayal closes in as Desiree realizes the appointment may be something far darker than medical care.
