Seven Years to Sin

A young man forced to sell his body for money. A young lady who watched him do it. Two tormented souls brought together years later to assuage the hunger of a desperate, irresistible attraction . . . 

With lush sensuality and unerring insight, Sylvia Day explores the underpinnings of intimacy and desire.

“The idea for Bared to You came to me shortly after writing Seven Years to Sin, which also deals with a couple recovering from difficult pasts. In some ways, Bared to You feels like an extension of Seven Years to Sin to me, even though they're set 200 years apart. —Sylvia Day
