When a young data scientist unexpectedly steals the heart of a highly sought after executive, the passion between them could lead her into a whole new world of sexual expression.

Standalone in the Professional Restraint series

***

After a string of one-sided relationships left her feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied, Ella put her love life on the back burner to focus on her career. But when she is called in last minute to give a huge presentation for her business partner, she not only lands the sought after account, but catches the eye of the handsome COO, Liam. Most attention from men just sets the shy Ella on edge, but somehow Liam is the exception-the magnetic pull between them not only enlivens Ella, but he makes her feel safe.

Liam is focused, driven, and extremely controlled in his professional and personal lives. Both his perfectionism and his particular tastes demand it. An experienced Dominant, Liam has rarely considered or found fulfillment in relationships with women outside of the lifestyle, but innocent, guileless Ella sets a passionate fire like nothing else raging within him. Not only is she brilliant and gorgeous, but, in her, he can sense a natural submissive despite her lack of experience.

As Ella struggles with having been burned so many times before, Liam wonders if he'd ever be able to reveal the truth and be accepted. Will she be able to trust him, and even if she does, will all of him be too much to handle?

[Book 2 in the Secret series] "That's not what I meant..." I chew on my lip. "Well, what the fuck did you mean then?" He shouts. "When I'm there I don't have to think about you!" I yell back. Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania. ------------ 'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought.

I was theirs, but what they didn't know was that they were mine too. ~ One invitation to an open house. One moment. One chance. And everything changed. When Emma got an invitation to the most exclusive BDSM club in the city, she knew she needed to go. Pain and pleasure, bondage, domination, and submission- all intertwined. It was all she'd ever wanted. This once, she would dare herself to reach after what she wanted, even when her own insecurities and shyness tried to hold her back. Before, she was too afraid even as her body had screamed out for it. Now, she was ready. Desire's Den was the most exclusive club in New York, filled with sinful sex, erotic bondage, and the most delicious pain Emma had ever known. Everything she'd ever desired was now almost in her grasp, but there was one problem-the men. Callan, the owner of Desire's Den, could make even the most innocent woman dripping wet with lust.

Gideon, the trio's resident bad boy. Owner of one of the most popular nightclubs in the city. Behind his calm, stone façade was a violent storm ready to conquer the object of his obsession. Emma was looking for one dominant and instead found three masters. "Your pussy is dripping for us, begging for us to use it. Do you want that, gorgeous? Do you want us to give your cunt what it craves?" This book contains steamy, erotic scenes, age-gap romance with multiple men, and filthy language. © All Rights Reserved

"And how does that make you feel?" "You want to know how I feel when she refuses to suck my cock?" Red blotches donned on Isabella's cheeks. He had no filter whatsoever and the way he was talking to her like a crass son of a bitch was scalding. However, this is her job. She had to hear him out. "Yes tell me." She tried not to swallow the discomfort she was feeling all of a sudden. "Horny." See? No filter! The man was so....There were no words yet Isabella took a deep breath to rein in her anger. "Would you like me to prescribe some techniques to control your...situation?" Marcelo leaned forward on the black sofa, his elbows on his knees and he looked dangerously at his psychiatrist. "No. I want your mouth to suck me dry and tug my balls while I finger your wet snatch till you are cumming and screaming." Oh lord. • • • Marcelo DeVille is having problems with his fiancé, Pamela Green. When she suggest him to take up counseling, he didn't have the energy to argue with her. Isabella Pressly, a psychiatrist who dedicated twenty years of her life to helping people, is confounded with a new challenge like Marcelo.

He put his hand on mine, stopping me from signing. "I need you to take this seriously. This isn't a game. This isn't a movie. If you sign this, your body will be mine. No safe words, no romancing, no cuddling. I will use you how I wish. Do things to you, you won't even have seen in porn. I will hurt you, abuse you, make you want me to stop, then beg me to continue. "Finally, I will throw you away when I have had my fill. You can try to escape, in fact, I encourage it, but I will find you and the chase will only excite me more, which won't end well for you. You wanted excitement; here it is. You wanted pleasure, you will get it, but reality isn't always better than fantasy. I can almost guarantee you will regret this." "Are you trying to put me off?" He smiled down at me. "I won't be accused of miss-selling. You either want it or you don't. Well, Faye. What will it be?" ~~~~~~~~ Faye has her sights set on starting a business with her best friend, but a decision from her past makes an appearance at her business pitch to a potential investor and threatens to ruin her plans for the second time. She learnt her lesson signing contracts with this man but Faye is a sucker for adventure and still believes she is strong enough to survive Dominic Sand. Warning - Explicit, abusive content.
