Cole is successful beyond his dreams. He can have any woman he wants, but there's only one he can't stop thinking about- his childhood sweetheart, Renita. He's never forgotten his first taste of innocent love and the desire that consumed them-or the pain he brought upon her . . . Her long-ago brush with submission awakened a longing in Ren that drove her to walk the darker edge of desire. She has become a beautiful woman at ease with her sexuality and unapologetic about her need for a dominant man. When Cole finds her again, he's gutted that she belongs to another. Ren's current master agrees to give her to Cole for a short time, but then she must return to his keeping. And though Cole agrees to this bargain, he knows he will never be able to let Ren go again . . . Maya Banks . . . 'Grabbed me from page one and refused to let go until I read the last word.
