Full Synopsis
At eighteen, Landon Miller was sure about two things—he was a submissive and he was going to be with Gregory Douglas for the rest of his life. That was until parents and school got in the way, and he found himself in New York, thousands of miles from the man who had learned how to take him in hand.

Years later, behind the bar at Rapture, the BDSM club he's built on a foundation of disillusioned dreams and broken bricks, Landon finds himself face to face with his favorite memory and greatest regret—Gregory. Determined to recapture the magic of their first love, Gregory works to right the wrongs of their past so they can move on together.

Battling through the resentment from their youth, Landon is unexpectedly called back to New York, and Gregory can't help but fear the past is repeating itself. Fighting familiar feelings of helplessness, he makes the decision to give Landon what he needs, even if that means not chasing after the man he adores . . . again. Gregory can only hope when Landon returns, he won't throw away the love they've fought and risked everything for.

Contains mature themes.

"The narration by Z.A Martin was a highlight here. He does an excellent job bringing voice to all of the characters and his delivery is natural and all of the conversations flowed well together." ---Joyfully Jay
