By turns serious, ironic, funny and gripping, this book will also set your teeth on edge: because we must never forget, giving in does not mean consent.

Having left her friends to organize this all-girls outing, Clotilde finds herself in a town she'd rather were wiped off the map. Here, she once lived with ‘Monsieur’, a man who made her his ‘Madam’, claiming to do so in her best interests. Damsels in distress who await their knight in shining armor aren't always clear-eyed about what befalls them, and believing a soulmate is out there can make them overlook the fact that their savior may actually be a predator. Clotilde still feels ashamed she once gave in, and finds it really difficult to break her silence. But if telling her story would help the dispel the shame at last?
