Obedience by Liza Snow

Obedience is a tale of romance and suspense involving Cassandra, the protégé/student, and Chandler, her mentor/teacher. 

Cassandra

Growing up, I was mesmerized by a man soaring the skies: the greatest silk aerialist in the world, Chandler Moreau.

The day before my parents died, they took me to see his circus, and it was then I knew my fate was sealed. I would do everything in my power to perform with them one day. To perform with him.

Little did I realize, he would be far more than I’d ever imagined him being. Far more than just a mentor. He was a man I didn’t want to live without.

And someone I wanted to keep safe from a past that seemed to keep following me.

Chandler

My entire career, I’d been waiting for the right student to take under my wing. A protégé with whom I could share my lifelong journey in the circus.

Little did I know it would be Cassandra Blackstone, a woman who'd grown up admiring me from afar.

I never intended to fall in love with the student I was supposed to protect—from myself and the demons that lurked in my shadows. But sometimes fate has other plans.

My grandfather's taunting words still linger: "Mieux vaut plier que rompre." Adapt and survive.

Those words were not just his adage, but also unmistakably true. A reminder that Cassandra and my shared history seemed to intertwine us more than the silks we’d spent our lives mastering ever could…
