Melanie "Mellie" Laurie tries to be patient with Greyson O'Neil during his recovery, but it's no easy task. When he opens up to her and shares personal information with her, she seizes the chance and offers her submission to him. Greyson agrees to train her in submission, but he hardens himself at first, convinced it's pity she feels rather than love for him. The pair slowly come to understand each other and bond, but Greyson still struggles with his desire to submit to Diego Sanchez. When the men reveal the secret of McKenna Downs, Mellie panics, torn between her feelings for them and fleeing from the town rules. The past comes back to haunt Greyson when the stalker kidnaps Mellie and Greyson must face his fears and admit who he really is and has been all along.
