Annotation
The New York Times bestselling author of Homefront and The Way I See It--and the daughter of Ronald and Nancy Reagan--has made national headlines with this sensational novel of sexual abandon. Now in paperback, here is Patti Davis's shockingly frank erotic thriller.

From the Publisher
Sara never meant to lose control. In all her relationships before Anthony, she had always been the seducer. She had called the shots. Set the rules. Dominated. So when exactly did she let go? When did he become the conqueror, she the slave? Whenever it had happened, she knew it was too late now. Sex - the game she played best, the game at which she was master - suddenly had a whole new set of rules. It was, Sara thought, like having to start all over again.... In Bondage, the new novel by Patti Davis, author of the bestsellers Home Front, A House of Secrets, and Dead Fall and the non-fiction book about her parents, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, The Way I See It, be prepared to meet a whole new cast of characters. Sara is a child of California, grown up and grown old at age thirty-five as only a woman could who has lived so much in so short a time. A costume designer for movies and television, it is through work that she meets her best friend, Belinda, a very vulnerable and needy young woman who envies Sara her ease with her own sexuality, her ability to dominate and control the men who want her. Sara has never questioned sex or her own sexuality. She likes it, is comfortable with it, and uses it whenever she wants. She begins and ends relationships with ease, taking what enjoyment she can before going on to the next. Then she meets Anthony, the hot new director of the moment. With him she begins a relationship that propels her into uncharted territories and that ultimately threatens to consume her.... In Bondage, Patti Davis has written a novel for the '90s that is shocking and startling, yet speaks to the hidden desires of women and men. It is a novel about a new kind of sexuality, at once a thriller and a dark love story.
