Stand alone. Not a cliff-hanger. HEA. M F, Mild D s themes.Successful, sophisticated, 36 year old, Chase Tanner is a Dom who has everything...except love. When he meets the woman of his dreams - a submissive beauty who'd rather be alone than with the wrong man - Chase knows convincing her that he's the "right" one, won't be easy. It's the courtship of his life - and he'll have to put his life on the line to protect her."You're just not good enough, Kali." Her ex-husband's hurtful words echoed in Kali Benson's memory as she moved to small-town Washington State to rebuild her life. It hasn't been easy, but finally at 39, she's happy, self-sufficient, and emotionally armored. But her strength and resolve are tested when a sweet-talking hunk, who drives an old Dodge truck and makes her feel nineteen again, comes to town.
