Steve McCoy survived a harrowing youth and a horrible tragedy and still made it as a successful attorney and businessman. And he’s managed to keep his broken, battered heart under wraps by working with short-term submissives at his popular BDSM club, Eden’s Gate.

Until Kelly Markham came along. Kelly’s history was as bad or worse than Steve’s. She lost the only man she ever loved, a faithful, loving Dom, but she never lost hope. When she’s invited to visit Eden’s Gate, she feels like she’s finally found a home. Better yet, she finds a man who’ll help her reintegrate into the community, even if his help is only offered for one month.

Unfortunately, Kelly discovers that being Steve’s submissive is not easy. Matter of fact, when she accidentally trips a trigger from Steve’s history, being his submissive could actually be dangerous, even deadly. Steve’s determined to keep her at a distance and never show her his heart, but can he hold out when he realizes his best shot at a happily ever after might not survive?

3. Right after she started seeing her old Dom, Gary, he decided he wanted to get his penis pierced. She went with him and passed out cold, hit her head, and had to have a CAT scan.

19. When she was little she had a stuffed bear named Felix. She found some scissors, cut a slit in his tummy, and stuffed food in there to “feed” him. It ended badly.

20. She had a top flog her one night in a club. When he was done she asked, “Is that all you got?” Thirty minutes later she regretted that question.
