A dominatrix who's sworn off love. A powerful man who craves submission. In his mansion's darkest depths, they'll find their match—or their ruin…
Jewel learned the hard way not to rely on men after her father's disappearance. So when crime lord Stefan McNamara offers her a position as his live-in mistress, she tells herself it's just business. But as the walls of his sprawling estate close around them, she finds herself drawn to the man who kneels so beautifully at her feet.
Stefan may rule St. Abigail's underworld with an iron fist, but behind closed doors, he craves something else entirely—a woman strong enough to break through his shame and command his surrender. In Jewel, he sees everything he needs... and everything he fears.
Alone in their gilded cage, surrounded by secrets and shadows, they forge a connection in the dungeon's depths. But when their pasts come hunting, they'll have to decide: hold onto their fears, or trust in a power exchange that could free them both.
