As the heir to the prestigious European Duchy of Lycette, Julianna is no stranger to pressure. But the mounting expectation to marry is only half the weight she bears. Secretly a submissive, she fears that her nature might clash with the strength and authority demanded of her future role. Can she truly lead when every fiber of her being craves surrender?
Max Schneider has spent years as Julianna's loyal security guard, a man of unshakable control-especially in his role as a Dom. But one fateful night, he nearly killed a man in a fit of unrestrained fury to save a waitress, and that moment continues to haunt him. Now, drawn to Julianna in ways that transcend duty, Max fears his past might make him a danger to the one woman who stirs his deepest desires.
In the swirling secrecy of Carnivale, where masks conceal identities and passions burn unrestrained, Julianna and Max are drawn into a dangerous dance of desire, vulnerability, and the unknown. When the masks fall away, will they find freedom-or be consumed by the truths they uncover?
