Résumé :
Fifteen years ago, Rae Dixon survived being trafficked and abused, escaping her captors to reclaim her life. Now, she's running a thriving business with her best friend and raising a teenage daughter on her own. As Mistress V, Rae is the one calling the shots catering to Oklahoma City's elite in her private dungeon, which is fronted by a spa. But when a client goes missing, Rae's world spins out of control. Detective Dayton Clearwater shows up at the spa, sparking panic when he asks questions that risk exposing Rae's true business. After several young women from her underground community disappear, too, Rae spots a chillingly familiar pattern. Together, she and Detective Clearwater must find answers before more lives are destroyed, including those they love.--
