Before we go any further, let's get this out of the way first. I want you to do three things for me.

One. Do not be offended by anything you read beyond this point.

Two. Leave your inhibitions at the door.

Three, and most importantly. Everything you see and hear from now on must remain between us...

Catherine, a blossoming film student whose sexuality has been recently stirred, finds herself drawn into a secret club where the world's most powerful people meet to explore their deepest, often darkest sexual fantasies.

But even as these new experiences open intense new pleasures for Catherine, they also threaten to destroy everything she holds dear.

In her debut novel, Sasha Grey takes us inside a private, high-profile, sex society where anything and everything can happen.
