Two souls bound by passion and haunted by the past. Can they find their way to love through the darkness?

On her first night at Decadence L.A., a single heart-stopping demonstration is all it takes for Fiona Delacour to fall head-over-heels for the irresistible dom on the center stage. Unfortunately, Doc's reputation is more than introverted Fiona can handle, and the last thing she wants is to be just another notch on Master One and Done's flogger. Declining his very tempting offer leads Fiona into a precarious situation, and it's Doc who jumps the velvet ropes to play the white knight to her damsel in a good deal of distress.

In the wake of a life-altering tragedy, Dr. Noah Richmond is a shell of his former self. To keep his bittersweet memories at bay, he throws himself into his surgical practice, international charity work, and collaborating with Rossi Security. When his darker urges surface, he also finds time for trips to Club Decadence, where he refuses all entanglements, playing with a partner only once before moving on. Then he meets the beautiful, vulnerable Fiona and begins reconsidering his no-strings-attached policy. Having any future with the voluptuous, captivating submissive means tearing down the barriers protecting his wounded heart.

When an insidious evil from inside the club turns its vengeful sights on Fiona, Noah risks it all to keep her safe. As the situation spirals out of control, he must face down the demons of his past to save her life. When the dust settles, he has a choice to make – retreat behind the walls where his heart is safe or let her love set him free to embrace a happily ever after.
