Lawyers
know when to play by the rules…and when to break them.
Harvard law
professor Jack Archer once balanced his professional life with the private
world of dominance, surrender, and trust he shared with his wife. Since cancer
stole her a year ago, finding love again—her final wish for him—is the furthest
thing from his mind. From his empty house to the classroom, grief follows his
every move. Until he meets a young woman with shadows in her eyes even darker
than his own.
Once a
shining star at law school, Lilly Sterling's dreams died when the Dom she
trusted left her heartbroken and lost. She's starting fresh in a new city as a
paralegal, but meeting Jack reawakens all her old demons—and her lingering
desires.
Jack offers
to become Lilly's mentor for both the courtroom and the playroom, but tells
himself it's not a relationship. Their carefully worded contract guarantees
that. But when their trial agreement starts heating up, both Jack and Lilly
must decide what will tip the scales: the letter of the law…or love?
Warning:
All rise for a book that contains a wounded submissive and a Dominant who wants
to retrain her while retaining control of his heart. Discovery phase may
involve spankings, bondage, edging, and blindfolds. Is it hot? You be the
judge.
Jack
closed his front door and leaned against it, as if doing so could shut out what
he’d felt tonight. As if it could shut Lilly out. He’d wanted to murder Patrick
for leaving him alone with her, and yet, during that short time, he’d forgotten
how for the last year it had hurt to do anything more than breathe.
Hearing
she was at least older than Josh was a small comfort. His age, however, seemed
of no consequence. He’d thought she hadn’t read anything into the question,
that the attraction that was driving him out of his mind was all one-sided, but
Lilly’s blush said otherwise. As did the quick pass of her soft, pink tongue
over gorgeously full lips.
Jack
groaned and scrubbed his hands over his face, then looked at his scar. He could
only imagine what Lilly would think if she knew where it came from, what kind
of life he’d lived. The Dominant he once was.
He
closed his eyes and saw Eve in their playroom, the two of them beginning their
scene with practiced words.
“You are mine, love.”
“I am yours, always, Master.”
Grief
shouted from the past. But the image was quickly replaced with one of Lilly
looking up at him in the bar. How would she react if he ordered her to strip
for him? Would all of her skin bloom with the rosy hues he’d seen on her
cheeks? Jack’s mind traveled to a place where he had her bound and naked,
telling her to bare everything to him—body, mind and soul.
Realizing
where his thoughts had strayed, he tried to shut the fantasy down but it was
too late. Lilly had flipped a switch in him, waking the part that had been
buried under the ashes of Eve’s death. And now that he’d opened that door, he
didn’t know how to close it again.
