Ask Me

Two professionals. One fracture. And the slow collapse of the walls they built to survive.



Lucas Marlowe built his life around control. In a world of corporate image and crisis strategy, he knows how to stay untouchable—disciplined, invisible, invulnerable. Emily Verrill, poised and unflinching, has learned how to stay ahead by never letting anyone close.



They don’t chase power. They endure it.



When they’re assigned to a delicate, high-stakes case together, it begins like any other job: calculated, distant, seamless. But structure becomes tension. Tension becomes pull. And somewhere in the quiet—beneath ritual, ritual, ritual—something begins to crack.



This isn’t a romance born from spark.

It’s a slow surrender built on silence, misread glances, and the ache of wanting what neither of them will admit.



For readers who crave restraint, unraveling, and the sharp edge of emotional precision—this is a story of dominance, submission, and the long road to intimacy.
