After Dark by Caitlin Crews

Not all control is a cage. Sometimes it’s the key.
He gave her everything. Devotion. Pleasure. Control.
And when she walked away—she shattered them both.

“You don’t get to run this time, Josette. Not when I know how you beg.”

Josette Warren once had the kind of love most women only fantasize about: a 24/7 D/s dynamic with the man who knew her body—and her soul—better than anyone. But it scared her. So she ran.
Now, eighteen months later, she’s back. Ready to kneel. Ready for his rules. Ready for everything she swore she couldn’t handle before.
Arlo Finn doesn’t do second chances. But Josette was never like anyone else. He doesn’t just want her submission this time—he wants her trust. Her surrender. Her heart.
Their chemistry still burns white-hot. But with secrets, scars, and old fears rising to the surface, one question remains:

Can they rebuild what they destroyed?
Or will loving him always feel like surrendering too much?

A scorching second-chance D/s romance for readers who crave high heat, deep emotion, and total surrender.
