Lock & Key by Faye Black

When your life falls apart, it falls apart all at once.

 

Nia should know.

As a Black model at the tipping point of her career, she has a lot of decisions to make.

Quitting modeling has crossed her mind more than once, but what else would she do with her life? How would she even start over, and what kind of direction would she choose?

And then there’s that casual relationship she’s been having with a fetish designer—barely a fling if you ask her—that’s gone on for way too long…

Something’s got to give, and it soon does.

All it takes is one family dinner with her alcoholic mother for Nia to blow up and break down. When she does, there’s only one person who can help her pick up the pieces: Aurora. Caring, sensitive Aurora, who will even brave her way through a blizzard to get to her. Kind, attentive Aurora, who would make the perfect social worker and probably knows it. Her Aurora, who will drop anything and drive anywhere to help her. Now, Nia just has to get back up and show her she’s worth it all.

As the two of them navigate their complicated relationship, one that keeps getting more intimate every day, and tackle all the underlying issues holding them back, Nia watches herself transform into a better, happier version of herself. And maybe—just maybe—a version worthy of Aurora.

After all, there’s no new beginning like one that’s forged with love.

Dressed Up is the second thrilling and sexy story of Bound & Gagged about the ties that bind us – and the ties that bind us.
