Reed's Sex Academy

Rhea Harp

Why do I want this job? Because my sister is in foster care. Because I’m broke and can’t find a decent-paying job. And because I’m seriously on the verge of a breakdown if things don’t start looking up soon.

Mr. Reed opens my eyes, and my body, to the unspoken world of the Academy. I’m powerless to deny him anything. He owns me, and he knows it.

But someone else knows. Someone determined to take both of us down.

Will I survive long enough to get out with my heart intact?
