Kai Mitchell built her empire from the ground up. At just 26, she’s a force in both the business world and the dojo—an undefeated martial artist, a relentless entrepreneur, and a woman who refuses to back down. But after a brutal knife attack leaves her scarred, she withdraws, convinced no man would ever see her as desirable again.

Enter Chris "Duke" Lawson—billionaire, investor, and an enigmatic dominant with a past as entwined with Kai’s as the ropes he expertly wields. He’s been watching over her for years, first from the shadows, then as the angel investor funding her rise. He knows her as Kai, the fierce CEO, but also as Angel, the submissive who once captivated him in the underground world of BDSM. She doesn’t remember him, not fully. But he’s never forgotten her.

When business forces them together, sparks fly, but Kai resists his every advance—until one fateful night in his playroom shatters her walls. What starts as a battle of dominance becomes something far deeper, a tangled web of obsession, trust, and healing. Chris is determined to claim the woman who stole his soul, but first, he must convince her that surrendering doesn’t mean losing herself.

In a world where power is everything, can love be the ultimate submission?

Thursday afternoon rolled around with the nurse Kai had come to know as the Dragon Lady, a tired old grump of a woman that never seemed to have any patience when she asked for assistance. Except this time, Dr Wallace was following her with what looked like discharge papers. Kai perked up slowly ...
