Blythe Livingston has built her life around being in complete control.
By day, she’s a brilliant accountant determined to earn her place at the top.
By night, she becomes Mistress Venin, a powerful dominatrix who makes the rules, gives the commands, and never allows anyone close enough to discover the broken pieces beneath her carefully constructed armor.
Then Pharaoh McCallum enters her life. He’s confident, protective, and dominant in his own right. Pharaoh refuses to be intimidated by Blythe or the walls she hides behind.
When work forces them into each other’s space, their undeniable attraction challenges everything Blythe believes about power.
For the first time, she meets a man who doesn’t want to strip her of everything. He wants her to trust him enough to surrender.
But just as Pharaoh begins showing Blythe that submission doesn’t have to mean weakness, the past she thought she escaped comes looking for her.
Old wounds reopen, buried secrets surface, and someone determined to finish what they started threatens the future she never believed she could have.
Blythe has spent years making sure she would never be powerless again. Now she must decide if loving Pharaoh means losing control or finally being safe enough to let it go and obey.
