Until she meets Mistress Eloise.
Confident, commanding, and unapologetically dominant, Eloise thrives on control. She enjoys the intensity of the scene but has no interest in love or commitment. Carmen’s quiet strength and guarded heart spark an attraction she refuses to indulge, determined to keep their encounters strictly within the club’s walls.
Then an unexpected accident leaves Eloise injured, and Carmen is asked to care for the woman she’s been trying so hard to avoid.
As the distance between them disappears, Eloise begins to see beyond Carmen’s carefully constructed defenses to the gentle, resilient woman beneath. And Carmen discovers that surrendering her body is far easier than trusting someone with her heart.
But the secrets Carmen has buried refuse to stay hidden forever. If they’re to build something real, both women must decide whether they’re willing to risk everything for a love neither of them ever expected.
Can a wounded submissive and the dominatrix determined not to fall find healing in each other, or will the past destroy their chance at happiness before it truly begins?
