Felicity Long

She was a young mother trapped in a world of violence, forced into marriage with the heir of a powerful family. Years of captivity made her an observer—of power, strategy, and the city's darkest secrets. When chaos struck, she took her chance, vanishing into the night with her child and a new purpose.
Now, a silent force reshapes the city's landscape. A mysterious faction is dismantling the old ways, offering protection to the vulnerable and striking fear into those who exploit them. But something sinister is happening at Cornell University—young women are vanishing, and no one seems to care. She’s done watching from the shadows. It’s time to step into the light and uncover the truth, even if it means walking straight into enemy territory.

Kai Mitchell built her empire from the ground up. At just 26, she’s a force in both the business world and the dojo—an undefeated martial artist, a relentless entrepreneur, and a woman who refuses to back down. But after a brutal knife attack leaves her scarred, she withdraws, convinced no man would ever see her as desirable again.
Enter Chris "Duke" Lawson—billionaire, investor, and an enigmatic dominant with a past as entwined with Kai’s as the ropes he expertly wields. He’s been watching over her for years, first from the shadows, then as the angel investor funding her rise. He knows her as Kai, the fierce CEO, but also as Angel, the submissive who once captivated him in the underground world of BDSM. She doesn’t remember him, not fully. But he’s never forgotten her.
When business forces them together, sparks fly, but Kai resists his every advance—until one fateful night in his playroom shatters her walls. What starts as a battle of dominance becomes something far deeper, a tangled web of obsession, trust, and healing. Chris is determined to claim the woman who stole his soul, but first, he must convince her that surrendering doesn’t mean losing herself.
In a world where power is everything, can love be the ultimate submission?
