Lauren wants a man willing to stand by her. She also wants him willing to kneel at her feet, submitting to her demands for their mutual pleasure. Escaping to a private island retreat, she meets Josh, the caretaker. He’s protective and strong, but the gift of his natural submission has been damaged by a past act of cruelty. When a sensual game of control is launched, Josh’s willingness to submit overwhelms her. To win his trust, she needs to uncover the secrets behind his stormy eyes. But to do that, she has to tear down his defenses and make him give her everything. For the right sub, a Mistress won’t hesitate to do just that. Even if she has to destroy her own shields and reveal just how much she needs him.
