No one could ever accuse Harry Lomax of being a Dom's Dom. Sometimes he even forgets to make his submissives call him "Sir". But he is the charismatic Prince of Kink at Chicago's most secretive and exclusive sex club, where he runs Alchemy xii, the club's prestigious year-long training program for would-be subs. When Harry spots Olivia Roux across a crowded floor, he's under no illusions as to what she is and what she isn't. A blond, Amazonian goddess, Olivia's no ingénue. She's a woman of the world whom he suspects might have a thing for kink, if only she realized it. One thing is for certain—Olivia is nobody's bitch. Harry knows that he wants her. For his Alchemy xii training program, that's for sure. But for himself? Harry will try anything once—and Olivia's a woman who's got his name written all over her! Alchemy xii 1 Year : 12 Episodes Olivia has no intention of becoming anybody's sub but she's intrigued enough by Harry Lomax to join the Alchemy training program. Before they begin, Harry gives Olivia a diary. "It's for you to write down exactly what happens at Alchemy. And, more importantly, your feelings about what you're going through. Things that were good and things that upset you or scared you or that you didn't like. No one else will read it but you…" said Harry. For one weekend a month over the course of the coming year, Olivia must report to Alchemy and follow Harry's every instruction. By the end of the year, if she's deemed an exceptional sub, she might be offered a permanent position in the club. If she's not, she'll probably never see Harry again. But Olivia is a woman who finds it tough to call anyone "Sir"… This new monthly serial from Tamsin Flowers kicks off with Harry's recruitment of Olivia to Alchemy xii and then follows the course of Olivia's year as she writes about each of her monthly encounters with Harry in her diary. Can she bend her will sufficiently to comply with Harry's demands? And for how long can she view Harry simply as her teacher? Has she got what it takes to make it to the end of the year?
