She's a brat who won't back down. He's a Master who won't be told 'no'. Hayden Jones has spent eighteen years being the smartest, snarkiest person in the room. But when she's dragged kicking and screaming to a specialized training school, she realizes her wit is no match for the contract her parents signed. Chase, firm, strict, and dangerously handsome. He's been raised to rule, and Hayden is his newest assignment. He's been told she's a virgin; he's been told she's a firebrand. To him, she's just a puzzle that needs to be solved-one punishment at a time. In a world of rules, restraints, and rigorous training, Hayden is determined to resist. But Chase knows exactly how to handle a brat. He's going to train her, discipline her, and push her body to the edge.
