How far will a man will go to win the love of the girl of his dreams? Juliette Hartford runs Blackwood Manor, a successful winery in the Pacific Northwest. But the business is actually a front for something much more bizarre: the country’s foremost training center for submissive males.

When Josh Stevens runs into his ex-girlfriend Juliette, he finally realizes he can’t live without her. Juliette still loves him, but requires a test of obedience before taking him back: graduate from her center’s training program.

It won’t be easy. He faces three months of intensive slave training and re-education at the hands of Juliette’s lover, Talia, who has her own reasons for hoping Josh washes out of the program.

Will he succeed at becoming the “man” Juliette wants?

This story is 11,000 words long.

And now a word from Blackwood Manor:

Ladies! Has your man grown complacent or lazy? Sick of his macho, alpha-male dogma? Wondering how to get the best from him again?

At Blackwood Manor, we take in men and send back slaves. Why spend your energy with all the tiresome training that males require? Our female trainers are experts at breaking men down into the servile, emasculated submissives they secretly long to be.

Yes, our methods are intense and our fees are high. But doesn’t your pet-to-be deserve the best?
