She didn’t set out to become a mistress.

She set out to survive the boredom.

On paper, her life is everything it’s supposed to be: a good man, a good home, a respectable rhythm. She’s the competent wife—the one who keeps the calendar, the groceries, the social life, the birthdays, the small emergencies. She does it with a smile. She does it without asking for much.

And then one day she realises the part of her that used to want has gone quiet.

Not dead. Just… packed away. Like a dress at the back of a wardrobe that still fits, if she’s honest, but she hasn’t dared to try on in years.

It starts innocently: curiosity, late-night scrolling, a private ache she can’t name. A fantasy that isn’t about sex so much as power—being seen, being chosen, being taken seriously in the place she’s always been told to soften.

But desire doesn’t stay theoretical for long.

With her husband’s reluctant, fascinated consent, she experiments—carefully at first, then boldly. A new dynamic takes shape inside their marriage: rules, rituals, boundaries, safewords, the thrilling clarity of yes and no. She discovers what it feels like to lead. To be obeyed. To be worshipped. To be the woman who doesn’t apologise for wanting more.

And the more she steps into it, the more she understands the real truth:

This isn’t a phase.
This is who she’s been all along.

MISTRESS IN-CONTROL is a scorching, emotionally grounded erotic romance/memoir-style confession about a woman who rebuilds her marriage by turning honesty into heat—and shame into power. It’s provocative but safe, explicit but intimate, and fiercely focused on consent, communication, and the intoxicating freedom of being fully yourself.

• Married couple heat and “choose each other again” romance

• Consent-forward BDSM with negotiation, safewords, and aftercare

• Female-led dominance (confident, classy, and intensely erotic)

• Ritual, rules, and slow-burn anticipation outside the bedroom

• A heroine who becomes powerful without becoming cruel

• High spice with real emotional stakes

She thought she needed excitement.

What she needed was permission—starting with her own.

Open the door. Take control.
