Claire Montgomery has always been given everything she wanted by her wealthy father – as long as she had toed the line. When she refuses her his request for the first time, cancelling her engagement to the most successful bachelor at his firm, she discovers exactly how far he will go to punish her.
Fleeing to San Francisco she experiences true independence for the first time, sharing a house and working in a coffee shop owned by Jordan Hunter. Mysterious and powerful, Jordan's involvement in the BDSM scene both intrigues and frightens her and Claire desperately tries to resist her growing attraction to him.
Breaking her engagement has cost Claire her family. If she follows her instincts and submits to Jordan will she be risking her new found freedom?

Claire smiled. “You know, I can’t imagine you…” she gestured to the wall.
“Cause I’m such a likeable guy?”
Claire shrugged. “Well… yes.”
Jordan sobered. He straightened to his full, considerable height and loomed over her. Claire was suddenly very, very unsure of herself. Jordan stripped the coffee cup from her hand and set it on the table.
He stood inches away, looking down at her with eyes that were suddenly a flinty steel grey. He tipped her chin up with one finger and simply held her gaze. She tried to glance away but found she couldn’t.
He spoke in a deep, solemn voice. “How about now?”
She swallowed, hard, and nodded. “Now I can,” she admitted in a whisper.
He smiled, a slow, easy grin and placed a kiss on the top of her head. “That’s a girl.”
