When Jessica Williams escaped an abusive relationship with a sadistic Dom in her late twenties, she vowed to never get involved with dominant men again. For the past fifteen years she has never had a relationship. Instead she dates meek, mild, safe men who she knows can never satisfy her - but at least she knows they can't dominate her. Estranged from her father, haunted by her past, filled with fear - can she ever learn to trust again, to love again? But now she has met Aiden Dowling - a confident, attractive Dom. Can she allow one man to control her again and hope that he won't abuse that trust? Jessica has buried the pain, the humiliation, and the abuse so deep even she won't believe it. Now she has to decide whether it's time to either come face to face with her fears and her past or else ignore the chance of happiness Aiden offers.
