May Aiona has been infatuated with Evan Chambers for years. Too bad he's never noticed her as anything other than a friend. May's life is all about control and when she takes up a friend's invitation to visit a private bondage club to learn to release her control and explore her curiosity concerning BDSM, all she has to do is agree to a public submission.

Successful businessman Evan Chambers has noticed the lovely May alright but with his tainted past he would never be good enough for her. When Evan sees May at his club ready to submit to his best friend, he caves in taking the one thing he wants most in the world - May as his sub. But loving May isn't easy for a man used to being in charge, she might want to submit in the bedroom, but never anywhere outside of it.

When May ends up in danger from a deranged stalker who has become obsessed with her, Evan races to keep her safe, but will he be too far away to keep her alive and safe.
