A guarded billionaire sub. A reluctant protector. One forbidden spark that refuses to stay hidden.
Zac Denman has lived his whole life behind layers of protection—wealthy, watched, and never truly free. Now he finally has a chance to explore the submissive desires he’s only imagined, and The Retreat offers exactly what he needs: safety, discretion, and a rotating roster of Doms who can help him discover who he really is. But nothing in his carefully controlled world prepares him for the one man he’s not supposed to notice.
Dale Gastrell is at The Retreat for a simple assignment—two weeks of covert protection for a young VIP who should never know he’s there. A former soldier rebuilding his life, Dale is grounded, rugged, and painfully aware that Zac comes from a world far above his own. But when a twist of circumstance throws them together, the connection between them snaps taut and undeniable.
Zac is starved for genuine attention. Dale is determined to stay professional. And every Dom who arrives to “train” Zac only sharpens Dale’s jealousy…and Zac’s realization that the man he truly wants is the one sworn to remain in the shadows.
As desire flares and danger circles, Zac must decide what kind of submissive he wants to be—and Dale must choose whether protecting Zac means keeping his distance… or stepping into the role neither of them expected but both desperately crave.
Includes exclusive KU bonus scenes not in the original release.
