No one would believe that the woman affectionately called The Pied Piper of Ardor Point could be friends with a guy especially one so sweet introverted and standoffish as Marc. Marc however is drawn to confident women who see him for who he is who don't ask him to pretend to be something he's not. Florist's assistant by day and dominatrix by night Clarissa on the other hand is a master of pretending to be someone else. In her leather and lace costumes she's the queen of pleasure manipulation. At least she is until the one person she never expects to see walks into her dungeon.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>When the weight of his own secrets pulls him away from Clarissa a difficult conversation and wise words spur him into action. He's willing to do whatever is necessary to close the rift between them but she's no longer willing to pretend there isn't more than friendship between them.
