Cerena Rose thought marriage would bring passion, intimacy, and security. Instead, life with her husband, Daniel Hale, feels suffocating—controlled by his overbearing mother and trapped in a bedroom where desire has long gone cold. Desperate to fix their failing marriage, Daniel hires the most sought-after sex therapist in the country: Reid Romano. Confident. Dangerous. Unapologetically dominant. Reid opens Cerena’s eyes to a side of herself she never knew existed—a world of hidden desires, power, control, and pleasure she has spent her entire life suppressing. But therapy quickly becomes something far more complicated. Because Reid doesn’t just want to fix her marriage. He wants her. Every session pulls Cerena deeper into temptation, forcing her to question everything she thought she wanted. Her loyalty to her husband begins to crumble under Reid’s intoxicating dominance. And when lines between therapy, obsession, and forbidden desire begin to blur, Cerena must decide: Will she save her marriage… Or surrender to the man who truly understands her darkest cravings?
