A temporary contract—no emotions, no complications. Submissive Tiffany Armstrong has been broken and bruised, and the only way to get her life back is to give over control to someone who can help her heal. Retired police lieutenant Cordell Roberts is an experienced Dom who’s helped several women recover from harmful relationships before finding them a permanent partner. As they work together to get the new Master Key Resort up and running, lines are blurred when close proximity and unwavering trust lead to love. But both are afraid to reveal what they feel in their hearts. Struggling to hide their feelings from each other seems the least of their worries, though, because trouble is brewing in paradise. Someone is sabotaging their new venture, but who is the primary target? Master Cordell is a steamy, friends-to-lovers, workplace, beach romance, as a Dom falls for the submissive he's been helping recover from an abusive D/s relationship. Full of passion, suspense, angst, and fun times, you won't want to put it down! ***The Master Key series is a spinoff of Samantha Cole's popular Trident Security series.
