In the shadowed elegance of Manhattan’s elite art world, 25-year-old Genevieve “Gen” Laurent lands the commission of a lifetime: cataloging the private, never-before-seen collection of reclusive billionaire Raphael “Rafe” Donovan. What begins as a strictly professional contract in his sprawling, gothic-style Hudson Valley estate quickly ignites into something far more dangerous. Rafe recognizes the untouched submissive fire burning beneath Gen’s poised exterior and offers her a second, secret contract—one month of total surrender to his dominance in exchange for the career-making secrets hidden inside his erotic masterpieces. As silk ribbons bind her wrists, whispered “good girl” praises melt her resistance, and every commanded “bend over” pushes her limits, Gen discovers not only ecstasy but a century-old family betrayal encoded in the art itself. A ruthless rival collector, Victor Lang, will stop at nothing to seize the collection and expose their illicit arrangement. Torn between the intoxicating freedom of submission and the fear of losing everything, Gen must decide whether to fully surrender her heart or walk away from the only man who has ever seen her—truly seen her.
