By daylight, Serraid is an accomplished therapist who can unravel the knots of other people's psyches with calm precision. By night, she becomes Serrie, the desired dominatrix of the Cat House-an exclusive underground club where identities are masks and power is currency. She keeps these two halves of her life fiercely separate, believing control is the only thing that keeps her from being consumed by the trauma she's spent years outrunning.

Produktbeschreibung
By daylight, Serraid is an accomplished therapist who can unravel the knots of other people's psyches with calm precision. By night, she becomes Serrie, the desired dominatrix of the Cat House-an exclusive underground club where identities are masks and power is currency. She keeps these two halves of her life fiercely separate, believing control is the only thing that keeps her from being consumed by the trauma she's spent years outrunning. But the walls she's built begin to crack the night Jeremy walks into the Cat House. Jeremy looks gentle, almost scholarly, the kind of man who apologizes for taking up space. Yet behind closed doors, his touch is commanding, his presence disarming. He reads Serraid with unsettling ease, knowing what she craves and fears before she finds the words herself. Their connection is immediate-magnetic, dangerous-and Serraid finds herself wanting more than the roles they play. As Jeremy slips into both sides of her life, Serraid's carefully crafted balance begins to falter. Her ex-lover, a ghost she thought she'd buried, reappears with cryptic messages and chilling reminders of who she used to be. Each encounter shakes her grip on reality, reopening wounds she thought therapy and dominance had healed. When Jeremy steps in to protect her, it feels like salvation... at first. But the more he helps, the more Serraid's long-suppressed impulses surge to the surface: violent flashes of memory, desires she can't control, and an ache she doesn't understand. Shadows in her mind twist into whispers, and she begins to question whether the danger is truly outside her-or rising from within. Her professional life starts to fracture. Clients trigger visions. She loses time. Her nights at the Cat House become a blur of sensation she can't fully recall. The boundaries between Serraid the therapist and her past dissolve until she no longer knows which one is real. Jeremy remains steady, but even he has secrets-ones that entwine disturbingly with her past. As the ex's pursuit intensifies and Serraid's psychological unraveling accelerates, she must confront the truth she's avoided for years: the trauma she fled didn't die. It adapted. It grew. And it wants her back. Now Serraid stands at a crossroads. Is Jeremy the key to her healing-or the catalyst for her destruction? To survive, she must decide whether her future lies in surrendering to the man who sees her completely or reclaiming the darkness she tried so hard to escape. Either choice could save her. Either one could ruin her.
