A houseboy with a tender heart. A Dominant scarred by success. One month to change everything.
A submissive searching for purpose. A Dominant learning to live again. When Rowan Stanton lands his coveted role as a houseboy at The Retreat—an elite BDSM sanctuary hidden in the New Forest—he believes he’s finally found the place where his need to serve will be understood. But nothing prepares him for Lorcan Wilder, the magnetic, self-made Dominant whose four-week stay is meant to be an escape, not a seduction.
Lorcan has spent a decade chained to success, only to discover freedom in the last place he expected: in the quiet strength of the inexperienced submissive assigned to him. As Rowan learns what it truly means to submit, Lorcan rediscovers desire, control, and a spark of life he thought he’d lost forever.
But healing isn’t linear, and the shadows of Lorcan’s past refuse to stay buried. When his time at The Retreat ends, letting Rowan go seems like the only responsible choice—until the thought of life without him becomes impossible. To claim their future, Lorcan must confront his fears…and Rowan must believe he’s worthy of a forever that doesn’t end at checkout.
Includes exclusive KU bonus scenes not in the original release.
