About this listen

Re-released in a second edition with updates.

Shattered by the loss of his wife, Callum Reed is a man surrounded by rules designed to protect him. He rebuilds his life with careful discipline, but can’t deny what he feels when he meets the lovely Gabrielle Sullivan. She’s everything he wants in a woman, but he views all relationships as contractual. Despite her misgivings, Gaby signs his contract and becomes his perfect partner. Until the night she breaks his cardinal rule.

After three years of perfect obedience, Gaby declares she wants love and she isn’t settling for less. Love isn’t in their contract, so Cal lets her go. But Gaby has a secret reason for leaving. When Cal discovers the truth, nothing will stop him from following her.

On a secluded island paradise, Callum will do anything to prove he’s the perfect husband for his defiant love.

After his wife passed away Cal closed himself off to love however from the moment that he met Gaby he couldn’t deny his feelings for her. For the last three years he has been happy with the relationship they share but when she wants more he isn’t willing to give it so she walks out of his life.

Gaby loves Cal with her whole heart, but she needs more and has come to the sad conclusion that he will never feel the same way. She makes the decision to leave, and it will be ten months before she sees him again which doesn’t end well. He is now determined to fight for a second chance but the events of what happened when they were apart continues to cast a shadow on their second chance.

This story packs an emotional punch that I wasn’t expecting. The love that Cal and Gaby have for each other is apparent, even if Cal hasn’t yet acknowledged it, and the strength and resilience of Gaby was inspiring. The audio performance of Sebastian York was fantastic as he brought out the heat, emotion and insecurities of both these characters.

Gaby and Cal!

I really enjoyed Callum and Gabrielle’s story. I’m not a massive fan of the Dom and submissive theme that runs through a large number of Ms Blake’s books but this one took a different turn which captured my interest. I am a massive fan of Sebastian Yorke so another plus from me with this story too⭐️🥰

An emotional ride

Sebastian York does an excellent job at performing ALL the characters in this book,I always enjoy listening to him.
Sophie Oak aka Lexi Blake addresses an improtant issue in this book and I think she did a wonderful job at coming across respectful.
It did take me a while to warm up to Callum in the beginning he is quite cold and cruel but he does soften up,and becomes likeable.I love the way Gabrielle stands up for herself reversing their roles as sub/dom.
I did enjoy listening to this book.
41/2 Stars.

Callum/Cal and Gabrielle/Gaby's story is beautifully written, passionate, and emotional. Cal is handsome, dominant, enigmatic, and protective. Gaby is beautiful, smart, and strong. I wasn't expecting the twist in the story. The supporting characters are interesting. Sebastian York did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it.

Beautiful D/s Romance!
