Rikki Carmichael finally feels that deep D/s relationship she has been craving since her Aunt Tilda introduced her to
the life
. She embraced her Dominant side early on but finding a suitable submissive woman who wanted more than a quick roll in the dungeon proved elusive. That is until Professor Bernadette Garneau arrived on the scene. Now collared and committed to Rikki, will Bernadette prove to be different, or will she turn out like all the others-fickle and full of lies and deception? And will this perfect sub stay with her when she realizes that Rikki's ship is a sinking one? She'd almost lost the coffee shop she owns when creditors came knocking down her door en masse seeking payment for debts that weren't hers. Rikki managed to keep her staff and most of her friends in the dark about it, but she has not been able to get out from under it. With high stakes all around, Rikki looks for the peace she is seeking within her relationship with Bernadette. If this one fails, then it may be time to leave
entirely and go live in a cabin in the woods somewhere isolated. But buying a cabin takes money-money she just doesn't have.
