She found happiness in her designs, spending time with her friends and occasionally playing in the local clubs. She is a copartner in her own design firm as well as working on a plan to fulfill her own dream project. She doesn't have the time to waste fantasizing about what might have happened after the car door closed on the couple from the limo. Little did she dream that she would not only come face to face with the man she named her "Limo Man", but that he would demand she learn the exact meaning of clarity. He demands absolute honesty in all things. He has known quite a few submissive women, but none like the small, dark haired beauty who is Elizabeth Adams. She steals his heart and captures his soul. Logan knows she is fighting her own demon and he has no weapon to slay it. Can he teach her that freedom comes from total submission? Can he convince her that he will always be there to help her fly and catch her when she falls? Will she trust him enough, love him enough to gift him with the single part of her that she has withheld for years? After all, there are no limits to dreams and sharing them only makes them grow stronger. less

Logan's love helped set Elizabeth free to find her voice. Together, they are looking forward to bringing the run-down house back to life to become Haven, the hotel of Elizabeth's dreams. As family and friends gather to begin renovating the old house, Barbara, Logan’s sister, is quick to show her true feelings about the entire concept of a hotel catering to the D/S lifestyle and the people building it. When she finds herself bottom up over the lap of a man she doesn’t even know getting the back of her jeans warmed, her first thoughts are those of threatening to have him arrested for assault. Craig’s response is to inform her that she is to come to him and ask him to finish the spanking she knows she deserves. Despite her determination that hell will freeze over before she asks anything of this dominant alpha male, Barbara can’t stop thinking about the short spanking as well as his words. Seeing past her attorney persona and finding a kindred spirit, the other women refuse to let Barbara remain uneducated in what true submission offers. Can she step away from her past and trust someone to show her that her hidden dreams and secret desires can move from fantasy to reality? Can she find the strength to allow herself to let go of the control she’s clung to all her life and let another guide her down a path she needs to walk? As she explores new possibilities, Logan and Elizabeth explore a shed hidden in the woods behind Haven. The discovery promises to add even more possibilities for those couples who are not afraid to live their lives as they desire; sharing in the lifestyles that make each individual unique.
