Cora Watson is headed back to her hometown in Texas for her grandmother's funeral. Now a successful New York editor, she rarely makes it back to the small town she grew up in. She's in for a big surprise, however, when she goes out for a night out with an old friend and discovers that her high school sweetheart happens to be in town at the same time. Dale Barton broke her heart. Now, here he is, looking better than ever and wanting to spend time with her. So much has changed, though. She's moved on, never looking back, and he is now a club Dom, a self-proclaimed confirmed bachelor. He lives in Texas, and she in the Big Apple. And then there's that promise he made to her, all those years ago - one she has tried to put out of her mind. Can they possibly find their way back to each other, after all this time? Is there any amount of compromising that could make him keep that long-ago promise? And will Cora be able to accept life as a submissive if he does? Publisher's Note: This steamy contemporary romance contains elements of power exchange. While it is part of the Dominant Men series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone.
