Dinner with a dominant millionaire... Nell has enjoyed a mind-blowing afternoon of hedonistic discovery in Marc Cassidy’s office. The heir to the Cassidy Corporation is nothing like the irresponsible, cocksure type she imagined, and what’s more, he’s got his sights set on more than just one office tryst. They have a dinner date, and she’s out of her depth... Skipping dessert... Nell can’t be sure of much where Marc is concerned, but she knows one thing – he wants her. Not just in his bed, but in his private dungeon. She’s a newbie to all things kinky, but she can’t deny that her submissive streak runs deeper than she ever knew. Can she bear the pain side of BDSM, or will she safeword out of the scene before their relationship can reach new heights – subspace and beyond?

The morning after... Nell has spent a decadent night in Marc Cassidy’s private dungeon, and waking up with him is just as provocatively sensual. As she adjusts to the idea of being submissive during scenes and herself with him the rest of the time, she meets the other occupants of his mansion and enjoys the relaxed atmosphere around her. Undercurrents of tension... When the morning’s domesticity is interrupted by a phone call from Marc’s father, their plans for the evening are changed. Nell will accompany Marc to a movie awards ceremony, and she’ll need to dress the part in as much expensive finery as she wants. Nell might be getting used to the power dynamics of the D/s lifestyle, but she finds herself wondering if being showered with exquisite dresses and jewellery is more than she can handle, especially since there seem to be facets of Marc’s mood she can’t figure out. Is she expecting too much emotional commitment, too fast, or is her handsome Dom hiding something?

Figuring him out... Returning to work after her erotic fairytale weekend of opulence and submission seems frustratingly mundane to Nell West, but she’s hopeful about her newfound submissive relationship with the CEO’s gorgeous son, Marc Cassidy. It seems that Marc can’t get enough of her, either, but after a private moment in his office is interrupted by his hot-tempered father, she hardly sees him for a week. When he discusses his father with her, Marc—usually so dominant—almost seems afraid. What’s going on behind the scenes in the Cassidy family? Pushing her boundaries... After their long week of separation, Marc tells Nell that he wants to try a more intense scene with her. Despite her insecurities about the mysterious blonde woman who keeps showing up around him, Nell agrees to the strict guidelines her Dom sets for the evening. But can she endure all he’s asking of her, physically and mentally, when she has so many unanswered questions?

"If you don’t level with me, I can't be your submissive. I can't give control to someone who doesn’t trust me with the truth." Stepping into the spotlight… Nell West has spent a whirlwind couple of months as Marc Cassidy’s submissive. But even as the handsome, charming vice-CEO of the Cassidy Corporation guides her into the BDSM scene at large, Nell senses he’s hiding a huge part of his past from her. What prompted him to leave the D/s community for over two years, and what exactly happened to end his relationship with his last submissive, Callie? Conflicting emotions… It’s not just Marc’s romantic past that remains an enigma. He’s working hard on something, but he’s keeping Nell in the dark. His intense, unspoken dedication to the project’s progress makes her uneasy. What is he planning, and why is it so important to Marc and his sister, Serena? When the tension finally reaches breaking point and Marc’s carefully laid plans fall to pieces, Nell must find the strength to demand the same unfailing honesty from her Dom that he expects of her—whatever Marc’s reaction might be. Can she coax the secrets he’s hiding out into the open, or will he leave her with no choice but to walk away?

“Every now and then, a Dom needs to accept a truth from his sub. This is one of those times, Sir, and you know I’m right." Trust and determination... Nell is now Marc Cassidy's collared submissive, despite being horrified by the dark family secret he has finally revealed to her. Together with Marc's sister Serena, they hatch a plan to make his father pay for the crimes he has committed. Unexpected trouble... When things go awry and Nell is left to face the tyrannical head of the Cassidy Corporation alone, she finds herself tied up in a completely different situation to the BDSM play she loves. The stakes are high, and Marc will be forced to choose between his family and his submissive...assuming he can find Nell in time, and assuming she's still alive.
