From The Publisher:
When Rainie rushes an injured dog to a clinic, she's appalled to recognize the veterinarian, Jake Sheffield. So not fair. His memory has haunted her for over a decade. And then he showed up at her Shadowlands BDSM club. And now, he owns the veterinary clinic? The Gods of Cruelty must be laughing at her.Master Jake is sophisticated, wealthy, and gorgeous. Rainie's a fluffy, ex-slum-rat. He'd never be with a woman like her. Besides, she's been burned enough times that she won't get serious about any man. Sure, the BDSM club trainees are supposed to be seeking a permanent Dom, but no harm, no foul-the Masters don't need to know the truth.As a Shadowlands Master, Jake watches out for all the trainees. But one is special. Lush body, a gift for living life to the fullest, always laughing or smiling. Now he's learned she also has a big heart. Although Rainie trips all his switches, she's avoided him since the moment she arrived...and he let her have that play. But when she lies to him about her goals, he knows the time has come for a Master to take an active part in her training.

Cherise packed quite a lot into this Shadowlands short; all of it well done. In addition to Jake and Rainie's story, we're invited to the double wedding of Gabi and Marcus as well as Sally and her Masters Galen and Vance. Trainee subs in short supply around Shadowlands makes me sad. This series must never end.
