Once a submissive, always a submissive, right? Maybe she needs a little reminder. Frankie Hamilton is stunned when her husband, Jake, gives her an ultimatum-either she goes with him to a country hotel for the weekend or he'll leave her. In an attempt to save her troubled marriage she agrees to go. But Dominion is no ordinary hotel. During the week it's an upmarket conference center, but at weekends it becomes an exclusive BDSM hotel. This particular weekend it's Vanilla Spice, where those new or returning to BDSM can explore their fantasies in a safe and decadent environment. When Jake asks her to submit one more time, Frankie is initially outraged. After all, it's been two years since their D/s dynamic ended and she's no longer a submissive. Is she? She still loves Jake and doesn't want to lose him so she agrees, even if it's just to prove that she's now as vanilla as the ice cream in their freezer. But Frankie is soon reminded of how delicious it feels to kneel at her Master's feet. Her fondness for punishment and a good spanking leaves her begging for more. And when their old friend and owner of Dominion, Marco Alessi, offers to use her as the subject for a rope demo she's finally forced to face up to her kinky needs. But that's not the only thing she has to come to terms with. Beneath her tough exterior lies a grief that has been buried for two years. As her submission starts to melt the icy core inside her heart, it sets off a chain of events and emotions that could either make her marriage stronger than ever or completely destroy it.
