For the uninitiated, 420 High Street is exactly what you would expect: a marijuana dispensary. But an exclusive group of clients knows its secret: it's also 420 Dark, New York City's premier bordello.
As the sole proprietor of 420, Molly Dodd is technically responsible for both businesses. However, the bordello is her passion. While she plays madame in the basement, nice guy Ryan manages the shop. He doesn't know about 420 Dark, and she intends to keep it that way.
Until one night when she's approached by a dangerous ex-lover. He threatens to ruin her if she doesn't give him what he wants. While she tries to save her way of life, Molly's secrets seep upstairs and change her relationship with Ryan forever.

Chapter 1 - Him.
"I've never seen a girl with so many tattoos," his sultry voice hums in shadow.
Standing in front of him in a soft spotlight, naked and bare of body hair, I coyly smile. I'm technically 31, so I'm far from being a "girl," but I don't scold him. He's a new client, and he didn't request to be scolded. He requested to sit on an armless red leather throne in a dark room, and he requested to enjoy my personal services. He could have chosen from a dozen other attendants at 420 Dark, but considering he's wearing a fifty thousand dollar watch, I'm not surprised he spent the extra money for my undivided attention. I am the Madame, after all.
I tease, "You haven't even seen half of--"
"Turn around." His command rumbles in my chest. It looks like I'm playing the submissive tonight. Wearing my same coy smile, I slowly turn. My four-inch heels click on the floor while the light spills over my curves -- my suckable breasts, my kissable belly, my grabbable ass, and my strokable thighs. Tattoos adorn my supple skin...
