Unrestrained

Athena runs her business and her life with total control. Since her husband died, she has felt a pull toward the submissive side of herself, something she has carried for a long time and never acted on.

The obstacle is her reputation. Athena is known as a Mistress, because that was the role she took on for her husband, who needed a Domme. Her type A temperament made her strong enough to fill it, and she has played it ever since.

Then she meets Dale, a retired Navy SEAL who is an experienced Master. With him, she tries for the first time to find out what she wants when she is the one giving up control. He is able to help her live out her fantasies, and she begins to test them with him.

Surrender does not come easily to her. This is an erotic romance about a BDSM relationship between a Dominant and a submissive, and the pace is a slow yielding rather than a sudden one. As she gives way to his touch, both of them learn something about what love between a Dominant and a submissive can be, and how it defies their expectations.
