Candice Bradshaw has a wretched past that prevents her from envisioning a potential future with a lifelong partner until a man she's tried to forget marches into her life and offers her a chance to explore her desires. Despite the fear of giving over control, the yearning to do so has persisted for years. Even though the delectable man is willing to take the challenge, she's afraid to reveal what her heart desires most. Brady Stone is a man riding the edge. One night with Candice wasn't nearly enough. He knows she's been hurt in the past, but he's eager to teach her how good it can be between them. He's not who she thinks he is, capable of giving her what she's denied herself for years. With time and patience, he intends to show her there is no danger in venturing into the unknown. Due to an agreement, he's been handed the reins to prove he's not like the others. He wants all of her, body and soul, and will not let her go until he shows her just how rewarding surrender can be.
