"I didn't come here for you to be nice to me."
Third year medical student Les Wilder has done the unforgivable. When she flees to the door of childhood crush and arson investigator Jefferson "Brick" McGuire, she doesn't come for comfort. With what she's done, she doesn't deserve to let love save her. Brick feels differently. He's enough of a Master to know his shattered submissive needs more than pleasure or punishment. Though he will give her both, love is the only thing that will heal the wound that threatens her soul.
