Asha Banerjee has made a career out of saying no to powerful men. As legal aid, she knows exactly how the world works: someone gets hurt, someone gets paid, and someone gets silenced. Her newest case should be simple — a negligent “rehab” job, tenants with coughs that won’t stop, a paper trail that keeps dissolving. But the money behind it is not small. Hart Capital. And Hart Capital has a chair who doesn’t believe in losing. Elias Hart is control made human — immaculate, composed, and untouchable in public. When Asha refuses the settlement and rejects the gag clauses, he ...

REC0URSE: The Breaking of Him is what happens when the rules that kept you safe become the weapon used against you. Imani Cross built Studio B on discretion. No names. No loose ends. Just a private space where control is negotiated, boundaries are sacred, and nobody leaves with more than they were given. Until a leak hits the internet—faceless, but specific enough to make her world suddenly searchable. The fallout is immediate: anonymous threats, a ticking deadline, and a ransom that isn’t really about money. It’s about power. About humiliation. About forcing Imani to choose between ...

Mara loves her husband. That’s the problem. Eli is good in all the ways people tell you to be grateful for. He makes the coffee the night before so it’s ready when she wakes. He does the groceries because crowds make her anxious. He notices when she forgets to eat. He kisses her forehead like a promise. He builds a life that feels safe—quietly, consistently, without fanfare. And Mara keeps trying to make herself match that safety. But there is a hunger in her that doesn’t fit neatly inside a good life. It starts as a joke in her Notes app—something to laugh at and then delete. A ...

He doesn’t touch her when she wants it. He touches her when she earns it. Nora didn’t come looking for rules. She came looking for relief—something sharp enough to cut through the noise of her life, her ache, her loneliness. Carlos offers her a bargain that feels like a dare. One night. One rule. One word that will haunt her mouth: Not yet. He’s calm, controlled, and impossibly attentive—more dangerous for how patient he is. He doesn’t rush. He doesn’t take. He waits… and makes her wait with him, until wanting turns into need, and need turns into something that sounds a lot ...

PUNISHMENT (The Breaking of Him Series) He arrives with money, a reputation to protect, and a request he thinks will make everything feel clean: “something harsher than usual.” Imani doesn’t sell absolution. She doesn’t do hurt-for-hire. And she can spot a misframed request the way a surgeon spots infection: fast, unemotional, exact. Elliot Ashford is the kind of man who gets away with damage because he’s polished enough to call it “pressure,” “standards,” “management.” But Imani’s world runs on proof—dates, terms, obligations, and one brutal rule: Punishment is ...

REPOSE He didn’t come to her for pain. He came because he hadn’t slept—really slept—in years. The request arrives the way the most dangerous men always ask: “stress management.” No name. No photos. A premium fee and a demand for exceptions. Maris doesn’t make exceptions. She’s a professional Mistress with a code built from hard-earned safety and clean consent. No assistants. No offsite. No “off-record” fantasies. And one rule that shocks Elliot more than any restraint ever could: No intensity until he can be still. Elliot is high-profile, high-control, and addicted to ...

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...

He needed a woman on his arm. She wrote the rules that keep powerful men alive. When Adrian’s name turns into the headline nobody wants to touch, his team doesn’t hire a girlfriend—they hire Mara: crisis strategist, narrative assassin, the woman you call when your life is bleeding out in public. Her fix is ruthless in its simplicity: a clean public relationship, a controlled story, and a strict list of boundaries designed to make the world look away. No touching on camera unless necessary. No private intimacy. No staying over. No feelings. Mara has done this before—just not with a ...

REWARD (The Breaking of Him Series) He learned how to kneel. He learned how to obey. He learned how to take correction without flinching. What Elliot didn’t learn—until her—was how to be good without performing it. Imani built him back with rules: clear consent, clean consequences, no shortcuts. In her world, punishment is precise and mercy is earned. And that’s why the next step is the one that scares her most. Reward. Because a reward isn’t pain he can rationalize. It isn’t discipline he can endure and call it strength. A reward is intimacy—softness, praise, permission—...

Sloane’s life is a machine that runs beautifully. She’s the woman who never misses a deadline. The woman who remembers birthdays, confirms bookings, smooths awkward moments, and keeps everything looking effortless. Her home is immaculate. Her wardrobe is sharp. Her marriage is stable. And her body—her want—has been quietly going offline for years. Not because she doesn’t love her husband. She does. Mark is good. Reliable. The kind of man who shows up. The kind of man you build a life with. But somewhere between constant competence and constant being “fine,” the intimate part ...

Unwrapping Us She thought she had everything—until she unwrapped him. High-powered attorney Allison Reese has built her life around control and ambition. Relationships? Not on her radar. Christmas?

But when a mix-up lands a mysterious package on her doorstep—a package meant for her elusive, sinfully handsome neighbor, Luke Martin—her carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Luke, with his roguish charm, easy smile, and disarming warmth, is everything Allison avoids. But an innocent invitation to share cookies and wine on Christmas Eve turns into ...
