The Secret Heart: A BDSM Romance (The Aerie Doms Book 3)
As the owner of The Aerie, Xavier Greer is considered a "Dom's Dom." He and his late wife, Penny, were the perfect D/s couple, until Penny died of breast cancer. Three years later, Xavier still hasn't found himself sexually attracted to anyone. Until Angela returns to the club. As a Domme.
A charter member of The Aerie, Angela Vernon had been a great submissive. She and Penny had been friends, which is why Angela had left when she'd fallen in love with the one man she could never have: Xavier Greer. Even before Penny got sick, Angela knew it was wrong to want another sub's Dom. So she switched to being a Domme and tried to forget Xavier.
Fate brings them back together, and Angela reluctantly rejoins The Aerie. When Xavier sees her, proud and tall, he wants her anyway he can get her. Falling for a Domme isn't exactly how Xavier imagined he'd find passion again, but there are even bigger surprises in store for him as Angela proves to be so much more than he'd assumed.
Warning: This novella contains scorching sex and even hotter emotions as two powerful people negotiate who's really in control. In the end, it's a story of romance and second chances at happiness. Approximately 30,000 words.
