Kaci is one of the chosen ones, selected by Diego Valdez to be his sub for the term of two years. The boundaries were set and everything was all fun and games until Kaci made the biggest mistake of all; she fell in love with her Dom. Now, they have been together for three years and every touch feels bittersweet, as if at the next second Diego could break her heart without a second thought. How is she supposed to survive when the only man Kaci has ever loved doesn’t love her back? 

Diego is in serious trouble; his self-imposed time with Kaci has been up for a while, and yet he doesn’t feel the usual fear and suffocation he normally gets at the end of the designated time set for the end of an arrangement. Over the years, Diego has learned that his demons are too dark to ever bring in to the light with a real relationship, so setting boundaries with strict rules is the only way he can survive in the world he’s created.

Kaci is making his heart feel things he shouldn’t feel so he has to do the only thing he can to survive -- end all contact with her. If only she hadn’t confessed that she loved him. Now he can’t stop thinking about her and each new thought is bringing him closer to the truth each second, that he can’t live without her. Can Diego convince Kaci that his feelings are true before he loses her forever? 

Desiree Holt delivers again! This was another great story which kept my attention from the very first page. Not once did the characters break the story line. The story was so well written; it flowed with an easy grace which only comes with practice. I hated to see this book end because I enjoyed the story of Diego and Kaci so much. I can’t wait to see what Ms. Holt has in store for her readers next. If you are looking for a story to dabble into the BDSM genre, or if this is old hat, Ms. Holt can make this a favorite for just about anyone.
