Melanie "Mellie" Laurie begins her training in BDSM with Diego Sanchez, the O'Neils' friend and hired hand. She can't resist his dark, sinful allure or the way it feels to submit to him. The deeper he takes her the harder she falls and the more she craves to be owned by him. Diego can't help falling for the sweet, curvy woman who submits to him. He knows she would be perfect for Greyson O'Neil as well, but his best friend keeps closing off and holding back. Through a twist of fate Mellie learns the whereabouts of her daughter and goes to see her. The stalker makes another move, but this time one of Mellie's cowboys is his target. He discovers that they're all connected to each other and to the stalker far more than any of them realized.
