Rylee Miller, independent, strong and in control, seeks intensity of experience in all things. She plays hard, both professionally as a swimmer and Jiu Jitsu pro and in the BDSM scene when she needs to unwind. She craves hardcore sadomasochism and believes erotic suffering is just another challenge to be overcome. Taggart Fitzgerald, aka Leather Master, is a world-class whip and leather-gear craftsman.

When they meet on a video shoot for BDSMConnections, their intense, visceral connection stuns them both. The Leather Master is intrigued by Rylee’s staunch assertion she’s not a submissive. Is she lying to him—or just to herself? Or maybe she has never learned to truly surrender. With Taggart’s dominant, sadistic side and Rylee’s sensual, masochist mindset, they should be the perfect pair. But accepting her true nature may not be easy when the Dom she’s falling for is a man so damaged by a past filled with pain that he’s unable to trust in love. Or maybe it’s that he has never learned to surrender to his heart. Surrender to Me is a BDSM Connections novel.
