In the picturesque town of Ouray, Colorado, nestled amidst the snow-covered peaks, Aaliyah Evans, owns Sugar & Spice, a local bakery renowned for its delectable treats. She's had her heart broken too many times to count and made up her mind that she wasn't looking for love again.

One snowy December evening, Madden Griffin, a high-powered attorney who had left Ouray for college in New York, walks into Aaliyah's bakery. He's back in town after his father's passing to help his mother. As he enters the bakery, he's captivated not only by the sugary delights but also by Aaliyah, who he recognizes from high school. He remembers her being a sophomore cheerleader when he was a senior on the basketball team.

In the heart of the holiday season, their friendship deepens into something more, a dark and passionate romance that defies the cheerful holiday spirit. Madden who has lived a hidden dark life in New York introduces Aaliyah to the world of dominance and submission.

Amidst the backdrop of Ouray's snowy Christmas charm, Aaliyah is introduced to new love and into a whole new world of kinks and fetishes. Will she accept this side of Madden, realize this is what she has been missing and become his sub or is it not something she can ever get into?
