Leah Hollister feels trapped by her boring sex life in small town Compton Pass. She books a flight to Los Angeles for a BDSM party, hoping to explore her desires for bondage anonymously. Her plans crumble when she encounters Sawyer Compton, her old high school crush, who immediately claims her as his own. Sawyer dominates every situation, believing Leah could never handle his intense sexual needs. But her white submissive bracelet tells him everything he needs to know about how their night will unfold. Leah discovers unexpected comfort in Sawyer's familiar presence as he pushes her to new levels of physical pleasure. When devastating news from home shakes Sawyer to his core, Leah steps forward to support him completely. She offers her body, her friendship, and potentially her heart if Sawyer can release his tight control long enough to accept her love.
