They think they know me, but they have no idea. As a professional Domme, I've built an impenetrable fortress around my heart, watching men and women come and go without letting any of them stay. It's safer that way—until Clay Bradley swaggered into my life with his cocky smile and submissive heart.
Clay was different. He saw past the Madame persona and challenged me in ways no one ever had. For the first time, I felt vulnerable, exposed. So I did what I've always done—I pushed him away. But like a good boy, he listened. He left. And I thought I was safe.
Months later, during a chance encounter at a coffee shop, there he was—Clay, looking more handsome than ever. But he wasn't alone. On his arm was Jade, a woman so stunning she made my knees weak and my pulse race. And she wanted something I never expected: she wanted me to train her.
Training Jade was a recipe for disaster. She was dating the man who still held pieces of my heart, and she wanted to learn from the woman who'd hurt him. I should have said no. But somehow, I found myself agreeing. The chemistry between us was undeniable, the tension electric.
What made everything more complicated? Jade and Clay discovered my deepest secret—the one I've guarded at all costs. Now they know the real me, not just Madame. And they won't let go. But how can I protect what's mine when I'm holding onto the two people who could destroy me completely?
In this steamy romance of power, passion, and unexpected connections, Madame must decide if surrendering her heart is worth the risk of losing everything—or if keeping people at a distance is the only way to survive.
