Blossom (Black Rose Book 3)

Mary Sandusky was once a regular at the Black Rose Underground Club, where she enjoyed her role as a submissive named Blossom. After a scene goes wrong, she loses trust in herself and decides to leave the club permanently—until she encounters Ronan O'Connor, a Highlander who captures her attention. Ronan is a dominant who thrives on commanding submissives during scenes, but he abandoned the idea of relationships outside the club long ago, believing closeness invites harm. When he meets Mary, however, her beauty and willingness to submit draw him in, and he becomes determined to claim her as his own. Ronan proposes an arrangement designed to test Mary's boundaries of pleasure and submission while blurring the distinction between her everyday self and her submissive persona. Neither anticipates what his plans will ultimately lead them toward.
