Hypnotist, Darren Braid, is getting ready to launch
a new line of erotic hypnosis CDs. A potential publicist suggests that he
collaborate with her other clients, wannabe film producer Scott Sunderland
and his discovery Liza Hill. Her plan calls for Darren to hypnotize Liza and
transform her into a dominatrix. Sunderland will film the transformation
and produce a series of BDSM videos.
But shortly after Darren begins hypnotizing the
starlet, repressed memories of her childhood abduction begin to surface.
Investigating further, he and FBI Agent, Kristen Parker, discover that
Liza had been stolen as a child and sold to a ring of pedophiles. While
they help Liza deal with her trauma and build her self-esteem, they
discover she can identify one of the FBI's most wanted, a sadist who mentors
pedophiles in hidden regions of the internet. The FBI has never identified this
man offline, but finding him is their only hope of tracing Liza's origin. To
find her birth mother, Darren and Kristen must help Liza control her fear and
face the man who tortured her as a child.
Excerpt
"Braid!" Kristen Parker pounded on his apartment
door. She couldn't hear anything inside, but it was almost 10 pm. He had to be
in there. "Braid, I'm not going away. Open this door."
After pounding for several minutes, Kristen finally heard
the bolt being drawn. She didn't wait for him to open the door. As soon as it
was unlocked, she pushed her way inside.
She caught a glimpse Latoya Douglas standing by the sofa
before reeling on the hypnotist. "You should have told me."
"Told you what?"
"Liza. You should have told me she's being
abused."
"I didn't see anyone abuse her, did you?"
"No, of course not. But he is, and you know it. Or you
wouldn't have told me to watch her. Sunderland has got her so messed up, she
afraid to even form an opinion, let alone express one."
"Maybe, but her problems could just as well be the
result of past abuse. Unless we see it, or she complains, there's no way to
know for sure.
Kristen gaped at him until she remembered that he had been a
psychology professor as well as a hypnotist. He might actually know what he was
talking about.
Kristen fumed as she turned away. But Latoya's presence
brought her up short. The slender black woman wasn't moving. She stood
completely still. She wore high heals and a black lace corset, which left her
shoulders complete bare. The lace was cut high over her thighs, and dipped low
in front of her breasts. Hypnotized and frozen, Latoya was a statue of elegant
sensuality.
Kristen had experimented a bit with other women, but always
preferred men. She had the sudden feeling that Latoya Douglas could change
that. She swallowed hard as she tore her eyes away.
"We have to do something."
"Tell me what happened. First, do you want something to
drink?"
Kristen nodded. "Beer, if you have it." She sat
down on the sofa and tried to avoid looking at the sexy statue two feet away.
Darren went to the kitchen and came out with an open bottle
of beer. Kristen took a large swig then related her experience with the
starlet.
"I was afraid of that. Her self-esteem is so badly
damaged that she's afraid to make even small decisions. It makes her totally
dependent on Sunderland."
"We have to get her out of there."
"If you take her away from him now, she'll become
dependent on you. She has to decide to leave. And before she can do that, she
has to learn to make decisions and trust them.
"What can we do?"
"Exactly what we are doing. I'm hypnotizing her, and
you're being her friend. Together, we encourage her to start eating properly
and taking care of her health. Then we encourage her to start observing and
thinking analytically. It's important to get her to start exercising her own
judgement; and then to start trusting her judgement. Start with other actors,
then her own acting, then other aspects of her life.
"Eventually, hopefully, she'll be able to see that she
can make her life better by relying on her own judgement."
Kristen eyed Latoya's frozen body. "Like your uh,
boy-toy here."
"Believe it or not, Latoya is one of the most confident
and capable women I've ever met. Her self confidence lets her enjoy being
controlled in the bedroom, and taking control in the boardroom."
Darren got a mischievous gleam in his eye. "Her self
confidence even enables us to enjoy an occasional threesome." He was
obviously teasing. But seeing this stunning black woman like this, completely
vulnerable, completely available, Kristen felt tempted; too tempted.

first novel, I worked as a technical writer for 17 years. I hold a BS in

pioneering the art of hyperempiria (creating sensory experience through
hypnotic suggestion.) This is
accomplished by integrating hypnotic language patterns, positive affirmations
and NLP into the narrative of an audio story. One of my hypnosis programs, The Ultimate Kiss, was nominated for an "O"
