Rex Carruthers can have any woman he wants, but he wants only one—Carmen Shelby. Their desire was once forbidden and Rex walked away from his heritage as a result. Now, the reading of a will brings them back together, and Rex has something Carmen wants—his birthright, the British stately home, Burlington Manor.
Carmen Shelby is haunted by her desire for Rex—a dangerous, masterful player, the man who broke her heart. Then Rex makes an outrageous suggestion—he will give her the Burlington Manor Estate, in exchange for the affair they were denied.
To resolve the desire that haunts her, Carmen must risk her fragile heart and explore a new, submissive sexuality with Rex, a natural Dom. But while they thrash out their mutual passions, Carmen and Rex discover secrets and threats surround them. Carmen learns Rex is her true Master, but can he control the powerful forces that drew them together – and threaten to tear them apart?
