Beth Davenport has no interest in getting involved with another man for the foreseeable future. To say her last relationship ended in disaster would be a colossal understatement. The only reason she agrees to put in an appearance at Serpent's Kiss, a private kink club in downtown St. Louis, is because her best friend, Nicole, won't quit nagging her. When she walks in the door that night, the last thing she expects to do is meet a man who will have her reconsidering her ban on men. As a captain with the St. Louis Fire Department, Drew Parker is used to being in charge. His crew relies on him to make sure they know what they're doing and return home to their families after every shift. It isn't, however, what he wants in a relationship. Drew decides to join Serpent's Kiss to see if what appeals to him in fantasy is something he wants to explore in the real world. He's also hoping that he'll be lucky enough to meet a woman with whom he can explore his desires. The night Beth walks into the club, he is intrigued. Drew has to get to know her better. After what happened to her, Beth is reluctant to get involved with Drew. It doesn't matter that he is sweet and charming. She's been burned before and Beth doesn't think she can survive having her heart crushed again. Drew, however, won't take no for an answer. He wants a relationship and is determined to chip away at her defenses until she relents. Will she give him a chance, or did her ex leave her with scars too deep to heal?

She’s missed the Daniels family, but she couldn’t bring herself to face them again—not after what happened. Now her job has brought her back to the place she’s done her best to avoid and right smack into Trent Daniels.
