He ties women up to set them free. She's not looking for his kind of freedom...
Matteo Ignatius is a corporate consultant who teaches companies how to be kinky, although he doesn't call it that. He's also a rope-bondage master. One proud of his tools and in search of the best.
Liane Granger is a flannel-clad artist with a dandelion tattoo and a life that doesn't need a man, much less the new kitten she somehow acquired when she wasn't paying attention. She makes handcrafted rope in her small studio on Kootenay Lake and runs an on-again, off-again B&B. One of her best customers is coming to spend the night and pick up a special order.
Which sounds really simple until he walks in her studio door and uses her own ropes to tie her up.
