From The Publisher:

Celeste has worked hard to establish her freelance blog as a source of accurate crime news for the Baton Rouge area. Being a workaholic, focusing solely on her career, was her choice. Five years ago, she had a life-changing experience in a BDSM club that made it clear she is a submissive, but she believes her past makes embracing that path impossible. Then Sergeant Leland Keller walks into her life. He's the Dom she's always feared and hoped she'd meet, and he recognizes her as what he's been looking for as well. But she fights submission as much as she longs for it.Leland always thought he was looking for a docile, sweet-natured sub, but the heart wants what it wants. He can tell Celeste is aching for love and surrender. Having served in the military and now as a patrol sergeant in one of Baton Rouge's most dangerous districts, he doesn't shy from a challenge.His job is to protect and serve. He's not going to let her down.
