One Master to rule them all. One sub to please him…any way he wishes.

Victor Connagher is no stranger to the Dallas BDSM scene. As CEO of a risqué cable channel that caters to adventurous adults, he ensures the lifestyle is portrayed in a positive light. He even supports a local bondage club, though he doesn’t participate any longer. He can’t. He doesn’t trust himself to keep his savage need for pain under control.

Behind the cool, confident mask, Victor lives in fear. One day, he’ll go too far, and he won’t be able to stop. He won’t risk seriously injuring and scaring another sub, no matter how much his saucy, confident associate producer makes his fingers itch to once again take up his riding crop.

Shiloh Holmes is a sub, but she’s no doormat. She’s always suspected Victor has the skills to feed her insatiable need for pain, and now she’s found the perfect way to crack his formidable control. He has a champion’s heart and he loves to win. So she throws down a gauntlet and dares him to participate as a Master on a new reality show she developed: America’s Next Top sub.

As Shiloh fearlessly challenges him, Victor finally realizes she wants the vicious sadist with the riding crop. And the only way for him to keep her, is to risk everything. Especially his heart.
