It’s been months since Amy last saw James…months since she’s felt the aching pleasure of his touch. In that time, she’s achieved a measure of her own success, but is she truly living her life fully? Or has she taken a page from James’ old book, hiding behind work while denying her true needs? The physical wounds of one fateful night six months ago have healed, but James’ irrepressible need for control continues to cut deep. His heart resides with Amy, but the headstrong beauty could never be a full-time submissive. His need to have her is great…but his need to protect proves greater, when a shadowy figure from his past returns. This next chapter in James and Amy’s journey will test the couple’s emotions—and control—to the max.
