Michael's heart attack is a wake-up call. He retires from a stressful job as a police detective, opens his own private investigations firm and works hard to get his body back in shape. But the near-death experience has awakened an acknowledgement of what he has perhaps always known. New erotic urges and desires have unsettled him. A widower with a disastrous second marriage behind him, he craves a loving relationship with a woman willing to allow him to be the dominant partner in the bedroom. But he doesn't want a slave—where's the fun in that?

Jessie has written a bestselling romance novel about a Dom and his Sub, though the entire story is based on research and not personal experience. She claims to have chosen the subject for marketing reasons but secretly harbors deep concerns about her interest in the lifestyle. She suspects she might be submissive, but the likelihood of falling victim to a cruel dominant male terrifies her.
When her agent suggests first-hand research might result in an even more successful second book, reluctant participation in a scene at the Scallywags Fetish Club brings her into contact with Michael, a neophyte striving to come to terms with new kinky cravings.

Together, they begin to explore the possibilities of a relationship. Love and trust blossom. However, Michael's investigation into the illegal activities of a high-profile local lawyer result in Jessie's abduction. Her kidnapper turns out to be a Dom who enjoys inflicting pain. If he succeeds in rescuing her, Michael fears Jessie may never enjoy the erotic delights of submission again.
