"Love is giving him the power to destroy her but trusting him not to..." Tara Lockhart has to be tough, aggressive and in control to prove she can run the family business. But when her grandfather hires Cole Sotello to help manage the company, her control is threatened. In more ways than one. Tara recently joined Le Chateau, a club where she can explore the dark dreams she's been having-wicked, forbidden images of power, pleasure and pain. As a Dominatrix, she believes she'll find what she really wants-men who will let her be strong and dominant without labeling her a cold-hearted bitch. Cole is desperate to make a success of this new job after his career tanked in a disastrous scandal. He's shocked to run into Tara at Le Chateau, but her Dominatrix act doesn't fool him-he can see the submission inside her. As an experienced Dom, he knows that if he can show her that submissive side of herself, it will make his new job a helluva lot easier. But teaching Tara to see inside herself, to know who she really is and what she really wants, becomes more than just a business strategy-it becomes personal. Tara challenges Cole like no other woman has. She's determined to resist the powerful pull she feels to him. Can she learn to find the strength in submission without losing everything she's been working for?"
