Synopsis
I don’t want to hurt him—I just want to punish him. It’s bad enough being the only female owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, but I’m also the only one without a kink, or so I thought. Imagine my surprise when the kink quiz suggests that I’m not so vanilla after all. In fact, I’m a lot more like Emerson Grant than I thought. Just one problem—I have no idea how to be a Domme. That is, until the app matches me with someone willing to help me learn. He’s too young for me. Too stubborn. Too good looking. And, oh yeah, my friend’s son. Beau Grant is a brat. I’d hate that about him if I didn’t love punishing him so much. Underneath all of that attitude is a man who is misunderstood, selfless, and in need of direction. But if he wants mercy, he has to earn it. There are a million reasons why I should stay away, but I’m tired of doing what everyone thinks I should do. I finally know what I want, and I’m ready to take what’s mine.
