Description:
Charlie “Charlie” Underwood just wants someone to tell her she’s enough after years with an emotionally neglectful ex. When she goes to collect her security deposit from her ex’s estranged dad, she accidentally impresses Emerson Grant, the hot, wealthy co-owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, and lands a job as his assistant. Emerson is a control freak with a praise kink who loves telling her she’s perfect—and backing it up in the bedroom. Their forbidden age-gap, ex-boyfriend’s-dad, boss/employee romance forces both of them to confront shame, boundaries, and what healthy desire and affirmation really look like.

Trope/Mood:
Age gap (40s MMC / 20s FMC); ex-boyfriend’s dad; boss/employee; BDSM / praise kink & dom/sub dynamics; found family within a sex club; very high spice, emotional, affirming, and kink-positive.
