In the hushed hallways of the contested estate, Owen Nash feels the pull of Lillian Madigan's dominance as her hands adjust the silk cravat around his throat. She alone can secure his claim against those who seek to take it all, but her touch awakens the yielding nature he has hidden for so long.
Every command she gives draws him deeper into the silken submission that slides over his skin in the shadowed library, where trust papers scatter and her hand presses at the small of his back. The threat of discovery hangs over them, ready to destroy the reputation he clings to if anyone learns how completely he surrenders his masculinity to her will.
Lillian's fierce protection comes at the price of his secret, and Owen cannot tell how much more he will give before the cost becomes unbearable.
