She comes to the clinic to disappear. He cures by taking control. In a glass-and-steel sanctuary high in the hills, obedience is measured in milk—and survival means surrender.
After a public meltdown scorches her reputation, Livia Cole signs into the Hucow Health Clinic for "rest, renewal, and rebalancing." What she finds is Dr. Adrian Voss: precise, unreadable, and terrifyingly compelling. Intake becomes restraints, "extractions," and contracts that strip choice as efficiently as his gaze. Under his hands, Livia's body learns new rhythms—need cued by voice, relief delivered on schedule, pleasure weaponized as therapy—until the collar at her throat feels more honest than her name.
But Voss's program is more than protocol; it's possession. As isolation deepens into obsession, as the clinic's machines give way to the doctor's mouth, Livia must decide whether the woman she was is worth rescuing…or whether the dangerous peace she finds in his control is the only cure she's ever wanted. Dark, clinical, and breathtakingly intimate, this captive medical romance charts the razor's edge between treatment and temptation—and asks what happens when submission becomes salvation.
