Walls We Build

Lillian Caldwell has survived worse than a housing crisis.

She’s a dominatrix enrolled at Prestwick University by the one client wealthy enough to make it happen. She came here with a role to play and her own studio to play in.

But someone gutted the housing system before she could start, and now she shares walls with Noah Sky, the Dean’s son — her client’s brother.

Noah built his life on appearances — the right face, the right posture, the right distance from a family that would take him apart, if given the reason. He expected complications at Prestwick when he bargained his way to the housing system. What he didn’t expect was her. Lillian sees through the performance without trying — and that makes her dangerous.

He doesn’t know what she is. She doesn’t know what he did. And neither of them can afford for that to change.

Beneath the bargains, the proximity, and the careful planning, something takes root neither of them want.

A dangerous desire that puts their positions in jeopardy.

Dirty hands make dirty work, and they will do what it takes to keep the other in the dark.
