Stella Waters has dedicated the last seven years to making a name for herself as a Mistress and the co-owner of Sublime, one of Seattle's most respectable pleasure clubs. Training a submissive is her passion, but she maintains a professional distance. Sex with a client isn't an option. Then the perfect sub walks into her club, and for the first time, there are no lines she won't cross to train him. Mason Whitman is a workaholic, a man who thrives on controlling all aspects of his life and has no time or tolerance for relationships. Love is a four-letter word that leads to nothing but sorrow and heartache. Then a client takes him to a sex club, and he's instantly drawn to Mistress Stella. He has to have her, no matter what, even if it means topping from the bottom.
