Lucas Riley is a man who lives by precision. As a high-level executive in one of Toronto's most powerful tech firms, he commands boardrooms and closes deals with unshakable composure. He's always been the one in control-until the night he steps into an art gallery and locks eyes with her.

Emma Stone doesn't ask for attention. She draws it. A celebrated painter known for her haunting depictions of power and vulnerability, she exudes presence, control, and something Lucas has never encountered before-an unapologetic hunger to see the truth in people, to unmask what they hide.

When Lucas is drawn to one of Emma's boldest pieces-a striking nude bound in crimson silk-the line between art and artist begins to blur. What starts as fascination becomes seduction. A single encounter sparks a shift in power neither of them saw coming. For the first time in his life, Lucas finds himself surrendering-his body, his ego, and the need to always be the one in charge.

Emma doesn't just want him as a lover. She wants him as a subject. A muse. A man willing to be unmade.

Set in a world of industrial lofts, rooftop dinners, and dimly lit studios, The Art of Control is an intimate, emotionally charged erotic romance that explores trust, transformation, and the delicious power exchange between two people brave enough to step outside the rules. Told with lush prose, psychological depth, and magnetic chemistry, this story blurs the lines between dominance and devotion, restraint and release.

For readers who crave:

• Dominant women who don't apologize for their power
• Submissive men who find strength in surrender
• Erotic tension that's both cerebral and carnal
• A romance that seduces, challenges, and unravels with every page

If you loved the emotional control play of The Siren by Tiffany Reisz or the artistic sensuality of The Kiss Quotient, The Art of Control is your next obsession.
