On the Lead: He signed contract. Not expecting her to make him mean it.

He signed the contract without hesitation. She should have noticed that. Finn Deveraux makes everything look easy - the Crescent City Collective's six-week intensive, the sessions, the careful performance of a man with nothing to prove. He's brought that ease to three handlers over two years. None of them pushed back. Jo Marsden pushes back without meaning to, simply by paying attention. As an architectural preservationist in New Orleans' Garden District, Jo reads buildings for what they're trying to hide. As a handler, she applies the same precision to every pony she works with. Finn is the first who applies it back. He reads the room as quickly as she does - and what he sees about her, he files away without comment. When she breaks her own rules and gives him an instruction that has nothing to do with the contract, he doesn't let her pretend she meant something else. She has spent five years making sure nothing means too much. He has spent two years making sure no one expects anything real. Under jasmine-scented New Orleans dusk, both of them run out of places to perform. An intensely sensual femdom power-exchange romance with explicit scenes and a guaranteed HEA. Handler/pony dynamic. Female-led. Emotionally driven. Standalone. Book 1 in The Rein Series. All characters 25+.
