Lawyers know when to play by the rules…and when to break
them.
Harvard law professor Jack Archer once balanced his
professional life with the private world of dominance, surrender, and trust he
shared with his wife. Since cancer stole her a year ago, finding love again—her
final wish for him—is the furthest thing from his mind. From his empty house to
the classroom, grief follows his every move. Until he meets a young woman with
shadows in her eyes even darker than his own.
Once a shining star at law school, Lilly Sterling's dreams died when the Dom she trusted left her heartbroken and
lost. She's starting fresh in a new city as a paralegal, but meeting Jack
reawakens all her old demons—and her lingering desires.
Jack offers to become Lilly's mentor for both the courtroom
and the playroom, but tells himself it's not a relationship. Their carefully
worded contract guarantees that. But when their trial agreement starts heating
up, both Jack and Lilly must decide what will tip the scales: the letter of the
law…or love?
Warning: All rise for a book that contains a wounded
submissive and a Dominant who wants to retrain her while retaining control of
his heart. Discovery phase may involve spankings, bondage, edging, and
blindfolds. Is it hot? You be the judge.

Excerpt
Jack closed his front door and leaned against it, as if
doing so could shut out what he’d felt tonight. As if it could shut Lilly out.
He’d wanted to murder Patrick for leaving him alone with her, and yet, during
that short time, he’d forgotten how for the last year it had hurt to do
anything more than breathe.
Hearing she was at least older than Josh was a small
comfort. His age, however, seemed of no consequence. He’d thought she hadn’t
read anything into the question, that the attraction that was driving him out
of his mind was all one-sided, but Lilly’s blush said otherwise. As did the
quick pass of her soft, pink tongue over gorgeously full lips.
Jack groaned and scrubbed his hands over his face, then
looked at his scar. He could only imagine what Lilly would think if she knew
where it came from, what kind of life he’d lived. The Dominant he once was.
He closed his eyes and saw Eve in their playroom, the two of
them beginning their scene with practiced words.
“You are mine, love.”
“I am yours, always, Master.”
Grief shouted from the past. But the image was quickly
replaced with one of Lilly looking up at him in the bar. How would she react if
he ordered her to strip for him? Would all of her skin bloom with the rosy hues
he’d seen on her cheeks? Jack’s mind traveled to a place where he had her bound
and naked, telling her to bare everything to him—body, mind and soul.
Realizing where his thoughts had strayed, he tried to shut
the fantasy down but it was too late. Lilly had flipped a switch in him, waking
the part that had been buried under the ashes of Eve’s death. And now that he’d
opened that door, he didn’t know how to close it again.
