Over forty-million pounds in the bank, but the one thing she wants to buy is not for sale. Freya Stone is a Lottery winner. A Euromillions Lottery winner to be exact. The week she won, hers was the only winning ticket. And it was a rollover, seeing her almost forty-five million pounds richer. But with no taste at all for a wealthy lifestyle, Freya bought herself a flashy car and a fancy apartment, then ran out of ideas and stuck the rest in the bank to be carefully invested by her own private wealth consultant. One passion her wealth will enable her to indulge, however, is her appetite for submission. Or so she thinks. Following a childhood illness, Freya is unable to speak. She gets by pretty well with a combination of British Sign Language and a notepad, but her lack of speech makes negotiating difficult. She canβt tell a Dom what she needs, and she canβt use safe words. None of the Doms sheβs played with so far have been especially interested in training a novice sub who doesnβt even squeal. So Freya decides to buy tuition from a Master who comes highly recommended. Why not? She has the funds at her disposal, and nothing better sheβd like to purchase. Twenty-five thousand pounds for a month with the Dom sheβs fantasised about for ages seems like a bargain to her. But experienced and harsh Dom Nick Hardisty has other ideas. Infuriated at Freyaβs attempt to buy his services, he turns her down flat, while also demanding that she pay for her temerity by submitting to a punishment which he will administer personally. Can Freya accept his discipline? Can she convince him to reconsider and provide the help she needs? And Nick Hardisty drives a hard bargain. If he wonβt accept her money, what will his price be?
