Duec, head of the demon hunters and La Ceinture Noire's owner, is master of all he surveys, except fate. Death shadows him, drawing closer each day. A different foreboding whispers of danger to Belinda, the damaged halfling he's sworn to protect. He's waited a lifetime for her. She's the other half of his soul, a true submissive too wounded to accept him as her master. He must make her safe from his enemies without him.
Unable to tolerate another's dominance, Belinda, contract witch to the demon hunters, plays at Duec's club as an icy Domme. She earned her nickname, Control Queen by giving other submissives the discipline they need to find release without ever seeking personal satisfaction. No matter how skillfully she manages her subs, the only male she longs for never sees the strong mistress she's grown into, only the frightened, damaged child he rescued.
Then his enemies strike, capturing Belinda--changing everything. A failing Duec must battle ancient evil to save his mate, and Belinda must find Duec before it's too late.
