Alessandro Moretti has one rule that Amanda Claridge has never managed to persuade him to break: one woman, one arrangement, one night.

At The Labyrinth, Master is chosen by women who spend their lives making decisions and want a few carefully negotiated hours without them. Alessandro gives them rules, structure and his complete attention, then walks away before familiarity can turn an immaculate fantasy into something neither of them purchased.

Sofia Bellini should be no different. Beautiful, successful and infuriatingly resistant to being told what to do, she arrives expecting a man she can provoke until his control finally cracks. Alessandro has no intention of giving her the satisfaction. By the end of their first evening, Sofia hasn’t surrendered nearly as much as she planned, and Alessandro has done the one thing he promised Amanda he never would.

He asks to see her again.

Their arrangement becomes increasingly difficult to contain when a threat to Sofia’s family business leads directly toward the powerful Moretti name. Suddenly the man she trusted enough to surrender control to may have known far more about her than he ever admitted, while Alessandro finds himself caught between the family he deliberately left behind and the woman who will never allow him to solve her life simply because he can.

Sofia came to The Labyrinth because she wanted to know what it felt like to give up control. She never expected to fall for a man who would have to learn when to give it back.
