Terms of Submission: His Rules, Her Rebellion

A Dominant Billionaire Romance

He demands absolute control because it’s the only thing holding him together.

Sabine joined Vire Industries to build a career, not a scandal. She knows exactly how the world looks at interns who get too close to the boss, and she has fought too hard to let a rumor ruin her future.
But one evening—one gala where she stood by his side—changed the trajectory of her life.

Grayson Vire is a paradox.
In the boardroom, he is a predator—cold, calculating, and terrifyingly efficient.
But in private, he is a man haunted by demons few can understand. He craves ownership, yet recoils from the simplest unauthorized touch. He commands obedience, yet guards his own body like a fortress.

He offers her a private contract: A relationship bound by rules, confined to the shadows, and strictly separated from her work.
To anyone else, his demands would look like oppression.
But after a past relationship where Sabine’s boundaries were obliterated for someone else's amusement, Grayson’s strict rules don't feel like a cage. They feel like safety.

He teaches her that submission isn't weakness.
She teaches him that touch doesn't have to be pain.

But in a company built on cutthroat ambition, secrets have a shelf life. And when the walls of their private sanctuary are breached, they have to decide if two broken people can survive the fall... or if their contract was destined to destroy them both.
