Curious by nature, psychoanalyst Iceland Taylor likes knowing what makes people tick. Easygoing and gorgeous architect Lars Andersen is a puzzle Iceland seeks to solve. A shameless people-pleaser, Lars doesn’t believe he’s that complicated. Iceland, however, knows there’s more to the happy-go-lucky bachelor than meets the eye and is determined to test the limits of Lars’ submission. Haunted by a tragic past, Iceland has devoted her career to counseling the at-risk and disenfranchised—troubled teens, PTSD and domestic abuse and sexual assault survivors. Lars’ lighthearted disposition is a welcome change when Iceland needs to unwind, and D/s with a skilled and willing submissive is the best way she knows to exorcise her demons. Lars is everything she’s ever wanted in a play partner, except he’s craving things Iceland is unable to give—permanence and her heart. Lars, however, has set his sights on having Iceland, not just in the bedroom and the playroom, but in his life, in a lasting relationship.
