To take up space without apologizing.But when Elena obeys one order that matters—telling her toxic boss no—she realizes the real danger isn’t the club.It’s wanting Marcus outside the rules.And Marcus wanting her enough to rewrite them.Readers search for: dom instructor romance, praise kink, perfectionist heroine, people pleaser learns boundaries, consent-forward BDSM, power exchange romance, strong heroine healing, “good girl” praise, training retreat romance, workplace burnout romance, slow-burn kink, emotional dominance, discipline and desire, found family club romance, high-heat open-door romance.
