❝All I could see was black, all I could hear was my heartbeat and her heels as she walked around the room, all I could taste was the lingering kiss she gave me not too long ago, all I could smell was her vanilla scent which intoxicated me, and all I could feel were the ropes that tied me up and the blindfold against my cheeks that reminded me that I had no control over what was going to happen next. She stood behind me, I could feel the warmth radiating from her body and her delicate breaths. She whispered in my ear, "what punishment are you worthy of, Michael? What do you think you deserve?"

Meet Michael Sawyer, a man that only lived for going into Rosy's Diner and checking the inventory for the bookstore he worked in, and Winter Allen, the most dangerous woman on Earth whose hobbies consisted of torturing those who have broken their promises and leading the biggest gang in America.

Will he accept his fate with the Cruel Mistress or will he break away and write his own? † † †
