Determined to research BDSM, grad student Mia Santero isn’t about to let a little thing like a small town, a private bondage club, or a cocky cowboy stand in her way. Undercover, she enters an elite world defined by sex, subs, and power. What can happen? It’s just for a night. By day Brandon McLemore is a Texas rancher, but at night you can find him at Spurs and Leather. Not only is he one of the club owners, but he's a seasoned dom. Which makes Brandon a master in laying down the law. More so when he catches Mia in a lie. But when he discovers all she wants to do is study his club and members, he shows the dark-eyed beauty the door. Only Mia refuses to leave. After his personal life publicly imploded, Brandon guards his privacy. Yet Mia’s sass and stubbornness get under his skin. If she wants to learn about his club, he’ll teach her every mind-blowing detail of what it means to surrender. A fiery affair that starts out as a lie. A white lie two people tell themselves: they aren’t falling fast. They can get out whenever they desire.
