Josslyn once had everything with her husband, but now she craves something he never gave her. She wants to be dominated. Grief drives her to an exclusive club where people explore their darkest desires. There she encounters Dash, her husband's best friend who has secretly loved her for years. He stayed loyal while his friend lived, offering only comfort and support as she mourned. Finding her at the club enrages him until she explains exactly what she needs. Dash realizes he can give her the dominance she seeks. He decides he will be the only man to introduce her to this world of submission. No one else will touch her or claim her. She will submit only to him. Their forbidden attraction finally has a path forward, but it leads through territory neither expected to explore together.
