Nervous and seeking escape from his crumbling life, newly divorced Miles Bennet turns to submission in a last-ditch effort to reclaim his shattered self-worth. At Shimizu Services, a high-end BDSM club, he meets Darren-a warm, confident Dom whose gentle authority offers Miles a lifeline. As Darren guides him through the intricacies of bondage, trust, and surrender, Miles begins to rediscover strength in vulnerability.
As their sessions of slave-training, shibari and self-pleasure intensify, Miles must confront desires he never anticipated, especially when he realizes his submission isn't just about healing... it's about *Darren*. But can he trust himself-or Darren-enough to let go? A steamy, emotional journey of trust, dominance, and the courage to love beyond labels.
