Aria does not finish second. Valedictorian track. Perfect methods. The prize is already hers if she can survive finals week at college without shaking apart.
Marcus Hale has been half a step behind her for three years. Close enough to build a “relaxation protocol” that sounds like forty minutes, headphones, a voice that tells her she can set the noise down like a bag. It works; she sleeps.
Then the protocol keeps a layer they were supposed to cut.
A dark erotic novella of total hypno-control, free use, bimbofication, and brainwashing.
