Shadows of the Past

After the loss of a submissive to suicide years ago, Michael has kept things simple. He finds a play partner for scenes; no commitments, no relationships, no talk of love. Clean and simple, until he's assigned to protect Lily from a stalker. Beautiful, creative, and challenging, she threatens to turn his world upside down if he doesn't keep his desires under control. Work. Her life revolved around it, seldom able to take more than a few hours off thanks to the demands of her manager, Lily enjoyed her life until the stalker left his first message. Now fear and uncertainty cloud her days, work piles up, and hired security seems to be the only choice. But she hadn't expected a man who would threaten her sanity, offering her passion and the safety of his embrace. A man whose tastes run more to kink, and will only accept her into his bed if he remains the one in charge at all times. Is she nothing more than an assignment to Michael, or does he offer his heart along with his dominance?
