To the world, I am just Macey Carter. Mason’s little sister. Samantha’s best friend. The girl who somehow landed her dream job as lead designer at Seams & Touch. I smile, I work, and I fit neatly into the boxes everyone expects me to occupy. Inside, I am someone else entirely. I am someone who aches to be broken down and rebuilt by a man who knows exactly how to use me. I crave submission so badly it feels like a sickness, a fire consuming everything else. My ex never understood. David was too soft, too careful. He wanted to hold hands and make promises, while I wanted to kneel and beg, to surrender fully to someone who could take without mercy. When he left me, I did not fight. Two years later, I am twenty-three, single, untouched, and suffocating under desires I cannot admit out loud. Then there is Damien Blackwell. My boss’s older brother. Ten years older, sharper, and rougher, with a reputation that makes people whisper when he walks by. Every glance carries a warning, a threat, and a promise. I should not want him, but I do. God, I do. He is the finest man I have ever seen. I have seen all of him, taking a woman apart like she did not exist. I hated her because I would have begged for more. He promised he would stay away from me. That ended the night he caught me touching myself in my office, knowing he was watching. Now, we circle each other like predators. He wants me filthy. I want him cruel. Secrets rot from the inside. When we finally give in, the fallout is merciless. Families recoil. Coworkers whisper. The company teeters on scandal. Through it all, Damien will not let me go. He wants me ruined, owned, and entirely his. Can love survive sin and shame, or will Damien Blackwell be my undoing?
