One week of paradise. One year of silence. One secret that changes everything.
Carter Jones is the undisputed king of his thousand-acre Wyoming empire and a powerful Master at the exclusive BDSM club, Cuffs & Spurs. But behind his iron-willed exterior, he's a man haunted by the memory of a feisty submissive who vanished after their scorched-earth week in the Bahamas.
When he spots a golden-haired "ghost" on the streets of Jackson Hole, Carter is ready to demand answers. Instead, he's met with a reality that rocks him to his core: a son he never knew existed.
Jenna Mallory has survived a year from hell, buried under the weight of grief and mounting debt. She moved to Wyoming to start over, never expecting the alpha cowboy who broke her heart to find her?or to demand she and his son move onto his sprawling ranch.
Jenna agrees to the move with one unbreakable condition: he is not allowed to touch her. Carter might be a billionaire rancher used to absolute command, but Jenna isn't a submissive on vacation anymore?she's a mother with everything to lose.
Under the sweltering heat of a Wyoming summer, the forced proximity becomes a torture of the senses. Carter is a Dom who knows exactly how to play Jenna's body, and he's determined to prove that she belongs at his side, in his bed, and under his rule.
In a battle of wills where the stakes are family and forever, Carter is playing for keeps. And this time, he's not letting her go without a fight.
