Detective Robyn Tate has a secret.

While a devoted and well-respected police officer on the job in Houston, Texas, she spends her down time indulging in online porn.

That is until she receives an email from a man calling himself Slave Master, demanding ten thousand dollars or else he posts the videos that he’s captured of her clandestine activities online. Robyn is horrified, but it’s not the only secret she’s carrying. Since her divorce she has been feeling particularly bad about her body, and has been seeing Jonah Farrell, a therapist.

Slave Master knows all about that, too.

Robyn is hoping she can solve everything on her own and keep her secrets safe, but when another murder closer to home occurs, Robyn knows she can’t keep any more secrets without it compromising her investigation. She has a decision to make that will change her life forever.
