Then much to her surprise, her new boyfriend, JD, kicks off their romance with Dominant/submissive sex, and Natalie finds herself driven toward the very thing she fights to forget. Try as she might, she can neither stop her obsessive prying or throw off JD. As the office intrigue becomes more sordid and depraved, Natalie shares her secret discovery with JD, thinking he'll be as interested as she is. But he warns her off, demanding she stop her risky snooping. Too bad, some things just can't be stopped!

By the time she learns that half the agency is part of a ring of flesh traders, who will stop at nothing to realize their kinky lifestyle and guard their secret, she's headed for disaster. When she finally sees the wisdom in dropping her investigation, it may be too late. The past she thought was behind her becomes the nasty advantage needed by these ruthless scoundrels to make her the new pawn in their game.
