A Futuristic S & M Fantasy - In New Victoria, sex outside of marriage is against the law. Sex Crimes Court judges offenders and the punishments are severe, as this society has returned to the days of public floggings and hard labor to punish the guilty. When Delila violates the law with a co-worker, the initial corporal punishment is swift, however, the hard labor she is condemned to is far more than she expected when Degas, the Overseer of an underground brothel, buys her from the State for the duration of her sentence. Delila enters the steamy underworld that her society has condemned, finding that she's not so much coerced as a willing participant. Any hope of reconciling with the husband she loves looks doubtful, unless he can understand the passion that now drives her. In Outer Island, Lizbeth takes a journey out of present time to weave this remarkable erotic fantasy with bold and vivid strokes.
