Twenty-three-year-old Hayden "Hades" is the most powerful gang leader in Shadow Grove...but new dangers and new feelings might just threaten her circle of hell.

“I wouldn’t fall. Because the second I did, someone would be there to slit my throat and toss me to the sharks.

After all, it’s what I would do.”

Five years ago, I masterminded the infamous massacre of the Tri-State Timberwolves.

The streets outside the Wolves HQ ran red with the blood of the old guard, and not one of the members loyal to my father was granted mercy.

I let the media twist and distort the story. My new recruits eagerly proved themselves by spreading false news, then covering our tracks. To the general public, the Tri-State Timberwolves were extinct.

But that couldn’t have been further from the truth. We changed, we grew, we evolved; we came out stronger than ever. Now, I live, eat, sleep and breathe Timberwolves. I’ll do anything to keep my empire safe and thriving. To keep the people depending on me safe.

So, what do I do when it’s my own weakness that places us all in danger? When I let sex cloud my judgment, and my people pay the price?

Simple. Kill the distractions.

I’m called Hades for a reason, after all.

What's a girl to do? In today's economy, with jobs hard to come by and even harder to keep, Lydia is exhausted with running from one place to another as a temporary employee-and even that isn't enough to live on. She finds the usual office culture tedious and does her best to avoid office politics, drama, and distractions. Each new place, she feels, is just like the other, a soulless dungeon, a machine filled with drones. As her current assignment comes to an end, she decides to apply for a position with Business Documents by Secretarial Mechanics.

Soon, Lydia finds that she has entered a strange, new world ruled by a complicated code of conduct unlike any she's ever encountered. Some people may complain that they feel like they work in a dungeon, but for Lydia, that is about to be her "literal" reality. Business Documents by Secretarial Mechanics, she soon learns, is the corporate, public face of the Mistresses of Pantherra, a sophisticated and professional BDSM establishment where clients come to be dominated. Lydia finds transcribing for the Mistresses of Pantherra more intriguing and financially acceptable to her checking account.

But will Lydia settle for just being the receptionist-or will her ambition inspire her to take a massive leap of faith, straight out of her comfort zone and down the proverbial rabbit hole to create her own little niche in the dungeon?
