thirty-eight-year-old English teacher, Daniel Carr, and becomes
entangled in an illegal, erotic, passionate, and dangerous affair a
vicious meeting of minds and bodies that ends badly. Devastated by
grief and longing, Sarah embarks upon a series of meaningless
self-abasing sexual encounters, hoping to reclaim the intensity of
that first relationship. Then, seven years later, Carr unexpectedly
returns and Sarah is drawn again into a destructive coupling. Now
that she is no longer an innocent young girl, is she strong enough
to finally tame the beast within her?
A modern Lolita, "Taming the Beast" is an emotionally
unflinching and alluring tale that introduces a powerful new
writer.
