Cold as Ice — Gracie C. McKeever

[Siren Sensations: Consensual BDSM Contemporary Interracial Romantic Suspense Romance, MF, bondage, spanking, sex toys, HEA] Curious by nature, psychoanalyst Iceland Taylor likes knowing what makes people tick. Easygoing and gorgeous architect Lars Andersen is a puzzle Iceland seeks to solve. A shameless people-pleaser, Lars doesn't believe he's that complicated. Iceland, however, knows there's more to the happy-go-lucky bachelor than meets the eye and is determined to test the limits of Lars' submission. Haunted by a tragic past, Iceland has devoted her career to counseling the at-risk and disenfranchised -- troubled teens, PTSD and domestic abuse and sexual assault survivors. Lars' lighthearted disposition is a welcome change when Iceland needs to unwind, and D/s with a skilled and willing submissive is the best way she knows to exorcise her demons. Lars is everything she's ever wanted in a play partner, except he's craving things Iceland is unable to give -- permanence and her heart. Lars, however, has set his sights on having Iceland, not just in the bedroom and the playroom, but in his life, in a lasting relationship.
