Emily Townsend needs closure. And she will do anything to get it, including visit a local BDSM club. What she doesn't expect is for the sexy man she's been ogling for three weeks to waltz over to her table and dominate her in a way she's never experienced. Rider Henderson doesn't do newbies. Or girlfriends. But the cute pixie hanging around his club has drawn him to her side like a magnet. Perhaps if he took her on as a trainee, he could purge her from his system. The steam between Emily and Rider is undeniable. Not only is she a natural submissive, but she also enjoys watching him fight. That doesn't change the fact Rider doesn't want a permanent woman hanging around, nor does Emily have any interest in sharing Rider with her family or coworkers. It's a summer fling. Nothing more. Right?
