Former Romantasy Bookstore Book Club pick • top seller • spicy BDSM romance • boss/employee • age gap • taboo (MMC is her ex’s dad) • praise kink • sex club owner MMC • “good girl” awakening • caretaking dominance

Perfect for readers of:

  • Praise kink + power exchange with lots of emotional care
  • “Good girl makes a bad decision” romances (and owns it)
  • Taboo tension (ex’s dad) with a protective, in-control MMC
  • Sex-positive stories where asking for what you want changes everything

Spice: 5/5

Very spicy, explicit, kink-forward (BDSM/praise kink).

The vibe

Charlie Underwood is coming out of a relationship that left her feeling small, unwanted, and not enough. She wants a reset—and maybe someone, anyone, to look her in the eyes and tell her she’s good. Then she walks into a new job and meets her boss, Emerson Grant… a man who brings her to her knees. Literally.
Emerson is an owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, confident in what he wants and unapologetic about it. When he initially mistakes Charlie for a potential submissive (awkward complication: she’s also his son’s ex), he tries to do the “right” thing—offers her a job as his secretary and draws a hard line.
Charlie has other plans.
Because once she gets a taste of what it feels like to ask for what she wants, she decides she wants him—age gap, taboo, and all. And Emerson may try to resist, but he’s the one man who can give Charlie exactly what she’s been craving: control, care, and approval that hits deeper than skin. The question isn’t whether Charlie will chase it—it’s how far she’ll go to earn his praise.
