Calliope Ingalls has it all: a loving Dom who is also her husband, and a great job that takes her all over the country. But it all comes crashing down when her husband dies unexpectedly. Not sure what to do, she retreats inside herself, shutting off everyone as she wishes for the impossible.
When Calliope finally agrees to photograph the construction at his new hotel, Silas Hope is thrilled. His attraction to the sub is strong, and he wanted nothing more than to see her bound in his dungeon...for both their pleasure.
To do that, though, Silas has to convince her to open up to him, mind, body and soul. He knows what Calliope likes, because he's witnessed her submission firsthand. Now all he has to do is get her to let him wrap his ropes around her wrists and put the kiss of his leather on her bottom.
But while the two of them are exploring a new Dom/sub relationship, another force is at work in Augstown, one that shows that some spirits don't like change...especially when they've been around for four hundred years.
