The Apron's Sanctuary

<p><em><strong>Have you ever closed your eyes after a long exhausting day and imagined what it would feel like to simply let go to stop carrying the weight of the world on your own shoulders and let a pair of rough capable hands carry you instead?</strong></em></p><p>Eleanor was the envy of Chicago-a high-powered CEO with a corner office and a life designed for success. But behind the designer suits and the relentless schedule she was crumbling. When a physical collapse forces her to retreat to a remote lakeside cottage she expects boredom and silence. Instead she discovers a world of sensory delights she had long forgotten: the smell of rain on soil the meditative rhythm of kneading dough and the terrifying thrilling presence of her landlord Silas.</p><p>Silas is nothing like the polished men of the city. He is a carpenter with sawdust in his beard shoulders broad enough to block out the sun and a quiet undeniable dominance that unsettles Eleanor in the best way possible. He doesn't care about her net worth; he cares about her well-being. He sees past the Girlboss armor to the soft feminine spirit hiding underneath desperate for permission to rest. He challenges her need for control fixing her broken shutters and igniting a fire in her hearth that rivals the heat building between them.</p><p><em>The Apron's Sanctuary</em> is a seductive exploration of the relief found in tradition. It invites you to step out of the rat race and into a haven where a woman's power is found in her gentleness and a man's love is shown through his protection. As Eleanor trades her Blackberry for an apron and her anxiety for peace she finds herself torn between the career she built and the rugged man who makes her feel safer than she has ever been. It is a story about the intoxicating freedom of submission to a good man who knows exactly how to lead.</p><p><em><strong>If he pulled you against his chest looked deep into your soul and promised that if you just surrendered control to him you would never have to worry about a single thing ever again... would you be brave enough to say yes?</strong></em></p>
