James isn't sure, now that he has Thalia, if he can handle the depth of submission she displays.Can James help her strike a balance between who she is as a person and her newfound craving for submission, or will her urge to submit swallow her whole until James has no choice but to set her free?***Publisher's Note: This book contains BDSM, strong language, and discussions of dubious consent which may be triggering for some readers.
