She knows how to stand on her own two feet. Can she find power on her knees? Veronica Locksley is a Domme without a club to play in. Suspended from Boots 'n' Chains for not being gentle with her submissives, she's offered one chance to regain her status. Spend some time as one of them. Everything in her rebels at the idea, but she has no choice but to agree. Oliver Greenwood is a sexy, powerful but widowed Dom who's ready to emerge from his grieving period. All that stands between him and his return to the dating scene is one last assignment for Hooded Pleasures-to put a Domme under his thumb for six sessions to teach her greater respect for her subs. Veronica turns out to be more than a handful. Yet even as she butts heads with him every step of the way, he discovers that beneath her tiger-in-the-boardroom personality hides the heart of a true submissive. One that's extraordinarily easy to fall in love with. But before she can become anyone's dream-including her own-he has to let her go. And hope she finds the path that will lead back to his arms. Warning: Brooding Dom bookstore owner who's looking to begin living again and a tough businesswoman who doesn't realize that being on her knees makes her stronger, not weaker.
