Nyx Everharts had only known submission as pain, degradation, and suffering. Forced into servitude by Severin Volkov, a cruel Dom who twisted the meaning of control, she barely escaped with her life-collapsing at the doorstep of a club she thought would be her salvation.
Raphael Devereux never expected to find a broken submissive at his feet. As a respected Dom with strict rules and an unwavering sense of responsibility, he saw the terror in her eyes, the scars of her past, and knew one thing-she needed protection. But more than that, she needed to unlearn everything she thought she knew about submission.
Taking her under his wing, Raphael teaches Nyx the true meaning of a D/s relationship-where trust, communication, and consent reign supreme. But as he slowly breaks down her walls, igniting desires she never thought she could feel again, an old threat lingers in the shadows.
Her past isn't done with her yet.
Severin Volkov is coming back for what he believes is his.
As Nyx rediscovers her own strength and the beauty of surrender, she must decide-will she submit out of fear, or will she choose submission as power?
In a world where pleasure and pain dance on a delicate edge, can love truly be the ultimate form of control?
