Out of the Ashes

Jackson Kerensky enters a bookshop in New Orleans, LA looking for antique or acquired books from Russia and stumbles on a painting that he will do anything to own. The owner of the shop showcases the artist's work. The one painting he wants, is not for sale and is not up for discussion. He is happy with his life in New York, working in the family business of working as a Master Dom at the Kerensky Club which is an upscale club to find yourself or embrace your kinks and it's located in Bronx, NY. HIs family has several of these elite clubs all over the US. Jackson was in an explosion four and a half years ago and has no idea that he introduced Sasha to his world because of a painting that he purchased and she wanted it back. 

Sasha McAlister is a successful artist. 5 years ago her husband passed away while working out at a local gym. His death was ruled a heart attack. Sasha had no reason to doubt that until a woman starts showing up and asking for Henry. Threats start being made on Sasha's life over a flash-drive. Jackson commissions Sasha for five pieces. They are discussing one of the commission pieces when chaos erupts and she has to flee her home. Jackson flies in from NOLA to TN to protect her. Sasha is under the Kerensky Family protection when Jackson says something about blindfolding her and she realizes that he was her Mr. Mystery and Desire man. She never knew his name five years ago when she was willing to do anything to get a painting back.  

The chemistry between Jackson and Sasha is off the chain. He quickly goes into his Dom role however Sasha reminds him she is not a sub, she just knows what she likes.
