A move to a new city and a new museum in search of career advancement as an archivist requires Thea Cooper to prove herself professionally and find new companionship, specifically a new Dominant. Thea yearns for the security of a D/s relationship, yet working hinders her search for a Master.

He's no Indiana, but when Thea needs archaeologist Nick Jones to validate the dating of a medieval golem reputed to have the power to come to life and satisfy all wishes, ancient mystical lore combines with ageless sexual attraction. Once she's handled the golem, unexplainable and uncanny things happen to Thea, leaving her confused, aroused and curiously unafraid.

Nick is not Dom material, but Thea is compelled to discover if he can fulfill her intimate needs. As they pleasurably explore their passion, the mysterious events escalate, placing Thea at risk and threatening their tenuous bond.
