Sometimes reality doesn’t live up to the fantasy. And sometimes, it’s so much better… I have no idea what to expect when I finally agree to meet my so-called “boyfriend” at Rope and Vine, the sin-soaked playground for the kinky elite. The absolute last thing I expect, though, is to find myself on the wrong side of two of the club’s most notorious Doms. Xander is equal parts gentle protector and ruthless disciplinarian. His best friend Bryce can seduce or command with a single word. Both seem to think I need a hard lesson in club ettiquette—and they’re just the ones to give it to me. Their discipline feeds that long-buried need inside me, a need so strong and demanding it sends me fleeing into the night, terrified of what surrendering to my own desires might mean. But fear is what kept those desires in the dark for so long. And if I’m not careful, that same fear won’t just cost me two of the hottest, filthiest, most protective men I’ve ever met… It will cost me everything.
