Nora:

The love story I'm about to tell you is the purest and most beautiful thing I've ever done.

But it all began in the darkest, ugliest way possible.

Forget what you know about power and domination. Yes, this is a story of submission, but real submission, where the stakes are real and the cost is high.

This is a story like all other good stories. It has good guys and bad guys, scary parts and naughty parts. And it has me, someone who thought they knew how the story would end, just like you think you do right now.

I've done some kinky shit in my time, believe me, but nothing could have prepared me for that last taboo, that deepest humiliation, the pleasure I had long forbidden myself...love.

Dean Cane:

It was revenge that led me to her at first, I'll admit it.

I thought I had her pegged. I thought I knew what I was getting into, but I underestimated her.

I'm a powerful man. Getting others to bend to my will is second nature to me. But something about her made me want to tear away at all that and see what was hiding underneath.

But she had no idea who I could be or how dark the truth really was....

Cutting myself off from the Cane empire? Incurring the wrath of some of the most powerful men in the country?

I could abandon her, let her take the fall and walk away from all of this. Or I could run with her now and do my best to protect her....
