Sloane Price is used to getting her way. Captain Adrienne Cole is the first woman who makes her follow the rules.
At twenty-four, Sloane is rich, sarcastic, impulsive, and used to getting what she wants.
Adrienne, forty-two, is cool, commanding, and completely unimpressed by Sloane's money, charm, or attempts to push her limits.
What starts as a minor annoyance with a hired hand becomes something Sloane can't stop thinking about. Adrienne gives an order. Sloane breaks it. Adrienne tightens the rules.
Soon Sloane isn't provoking the captain because she wants to win. She's doing it because she secretly yearns for Adrienne's attention, her discipline, and the unnerving thrill of finally meeting a woman she's compelled to obey.
Once Sloane admits what she's really asking for, their battle of wills turns into willing submission behind closed doors. Rules become personal.
Punishment becomes pleasure. Bondage, service, and strict obedience leave Sloane craving more of the captain's control.
But on shore, the balance of power reverses. Sloane's family employs Adrienne, and one reckless affair could cost the captain her career.
Worse, Sloane can't shake the fear that Adrienne sees only a spoiled heiress who needs controlling, not a woman worth having.
For one week at sea, Sloane can push Adrienne as far as she dares.
Soon the spoiled brat isn't trying to break the Captain's rules.
She's desperate to obey them.
