At least, that is what she thought for years, until a black-haired, six-foot-five, annoying, self-centered, and sexy man buys the shop she has been saving up for to expand her animal shelter. It makes everything change. Refusing to give in to her body’s lust, she goes on a date with the local veterinarian Chase Jackson. But Kane interferes, yet again. When push comes to shove and threats loom over their heads, can Leslie and Kane beat the odds?

Henry Lennox is a powerful man with unique tastes. He sits atop a media empire that he has built from the ground up. Surrounded by only the most beautiful and talented of women, he enjoys both success and excess.

Oh, and the animal shelter but everything else doesn’t matter. That is all she needed to be happy in life. She doesn’t need a sexually-empowered man that makes her body frenzied and mind cloud with lust, no matter how bad she craves it. Until Kane Bridgeshaw comes into the picture, tattooed with raw sex-appeal, money, and he isn’t afraid to use it, if it means getting everything he wants-including Leslie.

Will their marriage survive a baby or will it finally be what forces Jane and Charles to face reality?

Jane has plans to spend as much time away from Charles as possible on this trip. All of her hopes and dreams come crashing to a halt when a blizzard hits, stranding her and Charles at the airport.

Kane's exterior is tough like armor, but the one person that penetrates it most is Leslie Benton.

When Leslie's stalker reveals his true nature and Kane's enemy comes to seek revenge, can Kane fully give himself over to Leslie instead of the broken man he has become?

Stacy Caldwell thought that she could put Henry Lennox behind her. Throwing herself into her work, however, her teammates know better. Henry Lennox, on the other hand, seems to have moved on just fine - with new flirtations and new affairs with new staff in his office. Soon neither can deny their attraction for each other, and Stacy begins to delve into the darker side of Henry Lennox and explore dominance and submission with him.

Mistress Aevia has made her intentions quite clear. Convinced that Stacy is not a "true submissive" and is merely a pretender, another person waiting to break Henry's heart, she has promised to show Henry Stacy's true colors. Stacy has no idea how to fight back against someone - the mistress who trained Henry to be a dominant - who has such a strong influence on Henry's life. Meanwhile, she is still uncertain about the relationship she has with a man she knows she is falling in love with.

Charles Bentley has been left with the task of planning a wedding on his own, while also fending off his uncle’s attempts to find out that the marriage is a sham. He’s under pressure, and all he wants to know is where his wife-to-be has run off to. Jane didn’t tell anyone where she went, but it was clear enough for all to know that she didn’t want to be followed.

With the wedding preparations fully underway, Jane is feeling rather overwhelmed by it all. She has no choice but to help with certain parts of the organization, and she has to do the one thing that she never had anticipated she would do; try on wedding dresses. What some might have perceived as one of their greatest days out, Jane was dreading it as though it were a dark day for her. Charles can’t wait to get through the day and get it over and done with.

Once again, Stacy Caldwell thought she could put Henry Lennox behind her. When Henry apologizes for his jealousy and his attempt to control her life, they pick up where they left off with their dominance and submission dynamic. Together, they continue to explore BDSM, as Stacy is drawn deeper into Henry's dark world. Meanwhile, Stacy's feelings for Michael Cavanaugh go from friendship and infatuation to a full affair.

Stacy thought that Henry was turning away her submission. Now she finds that she is not the only one changing. As Henry learns to come to terms with his own emotions, Stacy processes the lessons of her submission. As she slowly gives over more power to this dark and mysterious man, more of him opens to her. What she sees is enticing; but with love and commitment come new fears.

Leslie was slowly healing from her fear that Chase was lurking in the shadows. Nightmares and panic attacks would have eaten her alive if it wasn’t for Kane. He was being the friend she needed, but not the lover she wanted. She wanted Kane to replace the tainted touches Chase left behind, but Kane wanted to earn her trust by being what she needed not what she wanted. When a threat from his brother’s past makes itself known, can Kane live up to his promise to protect? Or will his effort to earn Leslie’s and Evan’s trust break?

Leslie is tired of Kane leaving her alone in bed with nothing but a memory to keep her company. She decides there are other fish in the sea, and she deserves a man who won’t make her feel dirty and used. When she meets another man, a man that actually wants her, Kane interferes with his caveman act. It’s obvious Kane is jealous, but when an enemy sets his sight on Leslie and Leslie gets hurt, Kane realizes there will never be another man for Leslie except him. When he tells her he wants her for good, she does something he doesn’t expect - she pushes him away.

Black roses for Kane and Leslie’s beginning. Red for the blood that will be spilled. Or is red the color of the end? Leslie’s life was on the line, and she had no idea why. She knew one thing: She was tired of all the pain and agony life had brought her recently and was ready for a change.
