Viscountess Rose Vane rules her estate with absolute precision, and she has no patience for chaos. When her cousin, the dashing and reckless Alistair Hemming, arrives at Blackwood Manor ruined by gambling debts, he expects a handout. Instead, he receives a collar. Rose offers Alistair a simple choice: debtor’s prison or a life of servitude under her strict command. Stripped of his finery and forced into the livery of a common footman, Alistair must learn the hard lessons of obedience, humility, and discipline at the hands of a woman who tolerates no mistakes. As days turn into nights of rigorous training and intimate punishments, Alistair’s defiance slowly crumbles into a desperate need to please. But can a former rake truly find happiness as a servant to the Viscountess, or will the price of his submission cost him his soul?
