Makenna Bradford:Get to NYC, do my job, prove the innocence or guilt of my target--a man believed to be the head of a Ponzi scheme with possible terrorist ties--and leave with no emotion whatsoever. If only things were that easy. I have to accept this case or quit. A tough decision, given the man I'm supposed to guard and defend is my former long-time love and Dominant, Marcus Lombardi. He shattered my heart causing me to run from the life we were supposed to have together¬--the life he now leads--as I needed time to figure things out, time for my heart to heal."You're the only one who can tell if he's lying, the only one he trusts." Too bad I can't return that confidence.Marcus Lombardi:I should be worried about going to jail from bogus charges filed on behalf of the FBI and SEC for something I've never even heard of until now. But all I can think about is the chance to see Makenna, be near her, and finally figure out what happened between us. I've spent the last five years wondering what I did wrong, holding out for a chance to talk to her. Does she even care how she gutted me? My life is literally in her hands now while she attempts to unravel the truth before I have to stand trial. I pray my faith in her is justified and that some spark still exists, that all hope isn't gone. No matter what, she'll always be mine.
