Gabriel Mode’s rock band, Artificial Love Affair, just wrapped their first tour in years. But he’s not ready to go back to his post-divorce life in LA. Sure, performing again was cathartic, but something inside him still ached for release.
At a hotel bar in Berlin, Gabriel encounters Astrid Quentin, a cam-girl and professional dominatrix eighteen years his junior. Instant shared attraction leads to a YES/NO list scrawled on a bar napkin, a heated night of dominance and submission, and the liberation he’s been craving.
Gabriel becomes her puppy. Astrid becomes his Keeper. The dynamic becomes a healing connection for them both. And photos on a gossip blog threaten to sabotage it all.
Can their relationship survive harsh public opinion? A controlling ex-wife and rebellious teenage daughter? Long-buried feelings for his bandmate?
Potentially.
But without a few bruises? Unlikely.
