(2025)
(A book in the Velvet Herd Hucows series)
A novel by

Liria Vale runs from a life in ruins and steps into a world where obedience is currency and submission is an art. Hidden deep in the Swiss Alps lies Velvet Manor—a sanctuary of desire, discipline, and secrets dressed in silk. When she signs the contract, she doesn’t know she’s surrendering herself to a man who never loses control.
Marius Kael is a trainer, a Herdmaster, a sculptor of souls. Cold. Unrelenting. His every command is deliberate, his restraint maddening. He selects Liria for personal training—but what begins as a power exchange quickly unravels into something deeper. And far more dangerous.
As Liria blooms beneath his dominance, jealousy festers, rivals circle, and hidden truths threaten everything. She’s more than just a submissive—she’s the one thing Marius never expected: the key to his undoing.
In a place where pain is worship and love is earned one broken piece at a time, can two people built on rules learn how to surrender to something real?
Or will the cost of devotion be total destruction?
