Sometimes, the best way to keep control is by deciding to give it up to someone else.

Once upon a stupid time, Elise trusted too deeply, gave too much, and paid the price with her heart. Years later, still haunted by the man she can’t get over, she lives carefully, with emotional boundaries as firm as the ones she sets in the bedroom.

Esteban seems perfect. He gives her everything she asks for without hesitation: his obedience, his devotion, his submission. Not a love affair, but a fantasy.

Impermanent by design. No heartbreak. Pure pleasure.

Then, she meets Niall. Their connection is immediate, their chemistry undeniable, and for the first time in years, she finds herself wanting something she thought she’d left behind for good. There's just one problem.

Elise has always seen her dominance as an essential part of who she is. Niall has never imagined himself surrendering control to anyone. Now Elise stands between desire, resistance, and the ghost of what she lost.

Can a domme who refuses to surrender and a man who refuses to submit find a way forward together?


Or will fear cost them the future they both secretly want?
A passionate, kinky romance about trust, vulnerability, and discovering that true strength isn't found in holding on tighter—but in risking your heart when nothing is guaranteed.
