Based on the novel by Havley McQueen, published by Tapas Entertainment and Radish.
When Jayne Turner asks a stranger at a bondage party to teach her how to be a dominatrix, she has no idea he’ll turn out to be the man overseeing her father’s exit from the family company. What’s meant to be a single night of education about dominance and submission turns into something more when Jayne asks Dom to continue teaching her. Because of a morality clause in his contract, a relationship with her could mean his job if anyone finds out, but Dom agrees. They must keep their relationship strictly educational and entirely undercover, but as their passion grows, so does the risk of discovery. Jayne’s success on the movie set is thanks to Dom’s “instruction,” but as she begins receiving increasingly more threatening messages tying her to her deceased mother, famous actress Ingrid Hart, it's up to Dom to protect what he owns. With multiple enemies possibly behind the threats, Jayne isn’t sure who to blame. It turns out to be the gaffer on set, a man who’d worked with and been obsessed with Ingrid. Doug kidnaps Jayne but her quick thinking has Dom on the way to rescue her – which reveals their relationship and triggers the morality clause. Dom makes a deal with Jayne’s dad without her knowledge. Dad will back off trying to stop Jayne’s movie career, and Dom will return to London, never to see her again. The night of Jayne’s movie premiere, Dad reveals the truth and Jayne reaches out to the man she’s fallen in love with. At her message, Dom returns to beg forgiveness for leaving her. Jayne forgives them, and they can be together openly.
