In a world not unlike our own, Jerna Setiq has a perfect life, a beloved wife and two adored children, with his past desires and needs firmly put behind him. But when he’s falsely accused of child abuse and imprisoned, he’s cast into hell, with no apparent means of redemption, or regaining all that he’s lost.

In the most unlikely of places, in the most unpromising of circumstances, fate offers Jerna his second chance and a path to freedom. With the cruelly fascinating Tolomy, a dominant in need of education and a patient submissive, Jerna dares to satisfy the long denied passions of his dual nature – but will he risk losing what has become so dear to him, all over again?

Remastering Jerna is a complex, erotic story of redemption, love, and the contract of trust in a relationship of control and submission.

Sarah Frantz of Dear Author wrote:

Remastering Jerna is a remarkable book that harkens back to the beginnings of the novel in the eighteenth century. It is a spiritual autobiography, a travel narrative, a psychological exploration of extreme stress, a prison story, the memoirs of a whore — all the stuff of the novel’s infancy and growth…. a brilliant psychological portrait of the effects of the extreme stress of torture and imprisonment and a devoted, almost loving exploration of the unbelievable limits of the human mind and body to endure without hope

Anne Brooke blogged:

I’ve finished reading Remastering Jerna, Ann Somerville’s upcoming book from PD Publishing, which she’s been kind enough to send me for comment. I have to admit straight up that BDSM simply isn’t my scene and I had to skim through those sections with my eyes half shut and my teeth gritted, but I absolutely loved Jerna as a character – he’s wonderful and I’ve been worrying and thinking about him a lot, even when I haven’t been reading. I also thought the setting was top notch and the tension and complexities of the plot first class. It’s being published sometime late Summer (not quite sure when), and I can certainly recommend it, with the proviso that you might have to grit your teeth now and again if you’re not a fan of the genre. But if you are, enjoy!
