The Hold Alexandre Contart

50 Shades of Grey was a fantasy, The Hold was inspired by real-life events. The intensity of this novel was inspired by Alex's true story. Without holding back, he renders for us the secrets of an often-times inaccessible world. Take an initiatory and intimate journey with the author, penetrating the depths of the pages where luxury mingles with lust. The quest takes us to the heart of Old Town Lille in Northern France, where private lifestyle parties have free-flowing Champagne and happen behind closed curtains. Forget what you think you know about the world of BDSM. More than a simple sex game, it is a unique and powerful bond that unifies two beings- an unconditional love that very few men and women will ever know. The Hold is a deeply moving love story, with a delicate French touch, where charnel pleasures of the body gradually make way for sentimental pleasures of the heart.
