An Exercise In Trust Dakota Trace

In the business of submission a little trust goes a long way - right?To say Seraphina Blackburn has serious trust issues is an understatement. A career driven woman who's closer to fifty than forty - she's relied on upon herself for years. She learned the hard way that trusting the wrong man was a one-way ticket to heartache. Instead she focused on her job. As a senior ad exec, she has it all - or so she thought until one fateful February night, when an arranged adventure proved how wrong she was. It's been months since then, and while she enjoys the time she spends with her sometimes dominant, Caden King, there's something missing and just not the scorching hot sex she knew they'd have - if she could ever figure out a way around his no sex rule. Surely the connection she feels isn't just a product of their power exchange - or is it? There's only one way to find out - if she's not too scared to take the plunge. Caden King may not have Seraphina's trust issues, but the demons riding him are just as vicious. A proverbial white knight with a high dose of kink, he's been popular in the BDSM communities for years. Abused sub? Have Master Caden work with her. Your sub needs a heavier hand than your willing to dole out, so she can cry - ask Master Caden - he's an expert with a whip. Need a hand with just about anything? Call Caden and he'll be there. Sometimes he wonders if the only reason people friend him is for those white knight tendencies - and the fact he just can't say no to a person in need. Quite the oxymoron for an in-demand dominant - but something about himself he's begun to accept. And one of the reasons, he refuses to jump in bed with anyone he plays with. If a woman's in his bed - it's because she wants him - not just what he can offer her. With the Fourth of July, right around the corner fireworks aren't the only thing that is going to light up the night. Can Caden and Seraphina overcome the odds and end up together? Or will their personal demons drive them apart forever?
