Club V

Dalton Callaghan has it all—success, money, charm, and good looks. But money can't buy him the only thing he ever wanted: her. The day Dalton's father was imprisoned for fraud and embezzlement, he knew the future he had planned was no longer possible. With a life-altering decision to be made, Dalton sent the only girl he ever loved off to college without him. Naddie Sullivan was in love with the boy next door. They shared all their firsts, from the sandbox to prom and everything in between. They were each other's first. Each other's everything.

They met under the guise of a masquerade—their faces hidden—and yet they felt seen for the very first time. Eager to learn more about her darkest desires, Freya throws caution to the wind, attending Club Venom's masquerade ball with her best friend, never anticipating how her life would change. She's always known there's something different about her, but she's never given in to her wildest fantasies… until now.

I live by the rules I set for myself, with one core belief at the forefront of everything I do… I protect what's mine. With too many demons to face and no direction in my life, I joined the Navy as soon as I turned eighteen, and I became a machine. A precision weapon. The elite of the elite. On SEAL Team One, I did what was necessary to protect my country. I learned that I thrive under pressure in high-stakes situations, and when I moved back to New York, I found a new way to channel the storm raging inside of me. At least for a while. I trained to become a Dominant and never looked back.
