Vivian, forty-two, is elegant, intimidating, and accustomed to obedience. Maya, twenty-four, is a sarcastic newly queer writer who thinks rules exist to be tested.
The more Maya challenges her, the more Vivian’s control gets under her skin.
Soon Maya realizes she is no longer breaking Vivian’s rules for the article. She is breaking them because she needs Vivian to punish her.
Rules become discipline. Defiance earns consequences. Bondage, obedience, and surrender begin to feel dangerously less like research and more like exactly what Maya craves.
But Maya still has the one thing Vivian may never forgive: an article that could expose everything.
The deeper Maya falls, the closer she gets to losing the only woman she yearns to obey.
