Compass Series

Eighteen-year-old India Burke has been waiting for as long as she can remember to escape her life of material feast and emotional famine. Going away to college offers separation from her noxious family and a connection with the best friend a girl could ask for. While her peers are picking majors and navigating the pool of college dating, Reyes Walter introduces India to the intoxicating world of dominance and submission and to a man who will become utterly obsessed with her.

Powerhouse consultant India Burke is notorious for her razor-sharp mind, her incisive tongue, and always being in control.

Cris Ardmore, India's latest tryst, is a Dominant who calls an isolated Hawaiian paradise home. India's expecting 48 hours of contractually defined sex, but instead of serving as just another BDSM Band-Aid, Cris wants to know the real India Burke.

Fiercely protective of her heart, India Burke let down her defenses when Cris Ardmore went from another notch on her D/s playdate belt to everything she could never admit she wanted. But being disowned by your family and betrayed by your lover aren't easy to get over, and India's old fears of intimacy creep in against a backdrop of professional drama that forces her return to a place that never really felt like home.
