All Lilibeth wants is to be able to carry massive pots of soup she cooks for work. When a personal trainer harasses her on her first visit to the gym, a tattooed stranger with dark, brooding eyes defends Lilibeth in the heat of her anxiety.

   Upon closer look, bad boy Remington’s half-up smile never fails to lift Lilibeth's spirits - and he’s eager to become her gorgeous new gym buddy. Lilibeth sets aside her rising attraction to Remington, hoping his natural instinct to praise inspires her to develop more self-confidence.

   But when Lilibeth learns that Remington is a Dungeon Monitor at Club X, her secret, kinky fantasies push to the surface, begging to be shared with Remington, and Remington alone. Braving painful shyness and an abusive upbringing, Lilibeth not only has to learn it’s safe to say “no” if she wants to play with Remington, but also has to uncover Remington’s harbored secrets that prevent his smile from lifting both cheeks.
