Nathaniel and Abby are struggling to navigate the challenging waters of their own relationship, when they get a surprising phone call from their partners in play, Dena and Jeff, who are in need of a helping hand…
Seven years ago, blonde, beautiful lawyer Dena Jenkins was tired of her carefully controlled life. Desperate for something exhilarating to help her escape the pressures of her demanding job and her senator father, she joined a steamy, local BDSM club as a submissive.

Chapter One
Present day
Jeff Parks knew it was taking all of Dena’s willpower not to
look his way. And since he had once had that willpower bend to his command, he
was well aware of the strength involved. On any other given night, he’d be
using his own willpower not to stare, but in light of his recent decision—
“Have you been listening to anything I’ve said in the last
five minutes?” his friend and fellow Dom, Daniel, asked.
Jeff looked back to the man standing at his side. It was
late on a Thursday night and their local BDSM group meeting had just ended. No
one was in a hurry to leave though. Everyone wanted to stay around and talk
with Nathaniel and Abby. At the moment, Nathaniel stood beside Daniel,
grinning. The guest Dominant had led a discussion about keeping D/s
relationships from getting stale. Considering the two scenes Jeff had
participated in a few months ago with the married couple, staleness wasn’t an
issue between Nathaniel and Abby.
“Sorry. What?” Jeff asked Daniel.
“Nothing important. Just going over plans for the play party
tomorrow night.”
“Your house at ten.”
“At least you remember that part,” Daniel said in his
not-quite-teasing voice.
“I’ve got a lot on my mind.” He might as well go ahead and
tell Daniel everything. He’d find out
eventually and the two of them
had been friends for long enough that he deserved to hear the news from Jeff
himself. “I’m moving.”
“You’re what?” Daniel asked in shock.
“Why?” Nathaniel asked at the same time.
Jeff’s gaze automatically found Dena again. She was talking
with Abby and Julie. Daniel’s submissive must have said something funny,
because Dena snorted with laughter, shaking her head. Her long blond hair
swayed with the movement.
“Ah,” Daniel said.
“It’s not what you think.”
Wow, Mama! Shut the front door! Jeff and Dena's story is scorching hot and full of suspense.
They were Dom/sub before and things happened that made them break up. Not telling what happened because you need to experience their story. Now, three or four years later, they still belong to the same Club, but the have been avoiding each other all this time. That is not to say that they have not been checking each other out when the other was not looking. But things are happening in Jeff's life and he is getting ready to move to Colorado and leave Delaware for a while. He thinks this is best because, in addition to family pressures, he cannot get over what he feels for Dena.
Suspense time... big time! Dena is a prosecuting attorney. She has been getting threatening calls and now a note was left at her apartment threatening her. She is totally derailed by this. She is strong and assertive, but could this threat be for real? Without a doubt, she needs Jeff's help to solve this. He a security expert and would never forgive her if something were to happen and she did not let him know.
Two lovers like them need to come to terms with their emotions and the reasons they separated. Nothing hurt Dena more than when Jeff withdrew his collar and set her free. Now is time to fight for what they can have if they only communicate.
I have to admit, this series has developed and grown to something I really like. These characters are real. The emotions and circumstances that surround them feel real. I really enjoyed reading book #5!
