The Duke and The Domina: Warrick : The Ruination of Grayson Locke Danforth (Lords of Time) (Volume 2)

He's poor. She's rich.
He's a sub. She's a switch.
It's not love.
It's a marriage of Kink-venience.

Grayson Danforth, Duke of Warrick, was banished from England by his father when his propensity for pain was discovered. The only reason he returned was because his father and two older brothers were killed, requiring him to take up the title. His honor has him bound to the contracts meant for his brother--including a marriage--but first he has to meet his bride.

Lulu--a professional dominatrix--was in a scene with a client when she tripped and fell, waking up in a strange house in a strange world with no idea what to think. She's either part of an elaborate scene for another client or it's all just a dream. But the man she woke up to...he makes her want to live in the dream forever. When she's given the choice to run and hide or complete the contract for marriage to Warrick, she chooses the latter. She can't help the way she's drawn to this beautiful, powerful, man and the secrets she can see he's hiding beneath his cross façade.

Warrick knows Lulu's secret--even if she doesn't believe it--and he knows that marrying her will be the best way to keep her safe. But Lulu stirs something deep inside that he's worked for years to hide. When Lulu realizes his masochistic tendencies it's up to her to force him to let down his domineering guard and submit. He needs to learn that what he wants, what he yearns for is not only beautiful but something she can give him but getting him to submit is a task that won't come easily to either of them.

As they begin their dance of husband and wife can two people who've never known trust or love learn to submit to each other?

The Duke and The Domina is the third full-length historical romance in the Lords of Time series.
