Dr Maddox Lexington isn’t altruistic—but when a concerned parent approaches him at a private dinner party with a troubling request, he’s intrigued. Instead of passing the case to a colleague, he chooses to meet Stella Byron himself.
Stella doesn’t want to be fixed. She wants control. Years of excess and restraint have taught her that desire is dangerous, and therapy is meant to keep it contained.
Maddox agrees… on his terms. What begins as professional treatment becomes structured, deliberate, and personal. Stella isn’t cured. She’s studied, shaped and curated. Maddox has a problem of his own. When control turns into indulgence, the line between treatment and obsession disappears.
🔥 Taboo Dark age gap. Unequal power. No morals on the page.
This is the perfect book for those women who tought that they are 'broken’ in some way to have a naturally high libido. Thank God for the good doctor that is there to help.
"Society loved its moral outrage, loved shaming women into silence. And in doing so it created something far worse—a desperate hunger to be loved, to be wanted, to be seen. More often than not that hunger pushed women straight into the arms of men who were more than happy to exploit it."
I’m surprised that this actually good and not just smut focused. It was short but had a story and the characters were interesting. Will definitely read more from this author. I tried reading another short smut story after finishing this and the difference in quality was crazy 😭
