Bamboo Island — Anonymous

Julia Dawson is offered a job she cannot refuse: governess on an idyllic island. But the reality is frightening and very different. Cynthia Briggs rules the island with a rod … not of iron, but of bamboo! All infringements of the rules, real or imagined, are dealt with severely, sometimes at the whipping post with everyone looking on and sometimes in private with the inevitable sexual conclusion.The autocratic Cynthia has her own dark desires which need satisfying, too: her own secret desperate need to feel pain – a need compounded by her overwhelming desire for Sapphic love, a love which comes only at a price!
