The Firm Hand

A Strict Governess Billionaire Romance

By: Raven Desire

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He thought she was just another PR fixer. He should have read the fine print.

Thomas Archer is London’s most expensive liability. Reckless, arrogant, and addicted to chaos, he is one scandal away from being disinherited. His father is done with second chances. He doesn’t want a son anymore; he wants an asset.

Enter Dr. Victoria Cross.

She isn’t a therapist. She isn’t a babysitter. She is a Corporate Behavioral Consultant, and her methods are absolute. She fixes broken legacies with a scalpel—cold, precise, and non-negotiable.

Thomas thinks he can charm her. He thinks he can buy her.
He is wrong.

When Thomas signs her contract without looking, he discovers that Victoria Cross doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. She conquers them.

The terms are simple:

• His accounts are frozen.
• His freedom is revoked.
• His obedience is mandatory.

Locked in her estate with a steel collar around his neck, Thomas is forced to confront the one thing he’s been running from his whole life: Structure and Submission.

But as the discipline turns into devotion, the lines between "Client" and "Property" begin to blur. She was hired to save his inheritance. She decided to own him instead.

The Firm Hand is a standalone contemporary romance featuring a strict female lead, a bratty billionaire, and a heavy dose of discipline. Expect power exchange, forced proximity, and a redemption arc that hurts so good.
