A deadly accident. A reckless choice. A man who won’t let her self-destruct.

​

When twenty-four-year-old costume designer Ainsley Vaughn takes the blame for a tragedy she didn’t cause, her life spins out of control. Only Rhys Redmond Merrick—hard-edged, devastatingly charming, and completely unshakable—can save her from herself. But Rhys doesn’t believe in coddling. He believes in control.

​

Their attraction burns hotter than either of them expected, but the discovery of Rhys’s hidden past threatens to undo everything.

 

Secrets, scars, and stubborn pride could destroy them—or bind them together in a love neither of them saw coming.

Contains consensual power exchange, dominance/submission, and erotic spanking between adults.
