He's poor. She's rich. He's a sub. She's a switch. It's not love. It's a marriage of Kink-venience. Gray is disowned by his family when his propensity for pain is discovered so he quits London for India to begin a new life in service to the Crown. But when his father and two older brothers are killed he's required by his Queen to return to London and take up the title of Warrick. Now he's honor bound to the Warrick's contracts--including a marriage meant for his dead brother--and the first thing required of him is to meet his bride. Lulu's in a scene with a client when she trips and falls, waking up in a strange house, surrounded by strange people. She thinks she's either part of an elaborate scene for another client or it's all just a dream. But she can't figure out how she got here and who this man is who makes her wish to live in this dream forever. When she's given the choice between running and hiding or completing the marriage contract to Warrick she chooses to marry the stranger who has her wanting. Warrick believes marrying Lulu is the best way to keep her safe but she compels this thing he buried deep inside threatening everything he's managed to obtain. Not yet believing this life to be her new reality Lulu is careless with his emotions-- anything to keep him from discovering how much her own feelings frighten her. As they begin this arrangement of husband and wife can these two--who've never known trust or love--learn to submit to each other?
