Michael Grady has just closed one of the biggest investigations in Boston police history when he spots Rachel MacNeil in a crowd of reporters during a press conference. The hot punch of lust he feels is instant and all consuming. He is a Dom to his very core, but has only had unsatisfactory short vanilla interludes with women who weren't willing to fulfill his needs. The more he learns about Rachel, the more he knows she is the submissive he has been searching for, but her tragic past is a red flag that common sense tells him should make him run in the opposite direction. Rachel MacNeil left the bdsm lifestyle after a shocking, painful betrayal ripped away the trust she had in her dom and left her a broken woman. She has finally put herself back together but, even as she tries to subdue it, the desire to give in to her submissive self has never left her and flares to life again when she meets Michael. Rachel knows that trust is at the core of a true submissive's ability to flourish and please her dom. How can she go down that road and risk her heart again when it becomes clear with every touch, every kiss, that this man has the power to dominate not only her body and her heart, but her very soul?
