DESCRIPTION

Former SAS officer Adam Granger has wanted Beth Harrison ever since she came to work for him, but he fears dating his luscious assistant might prove awkward.

Beth’s been attracted to Adam from the start. Alpha male through and through, he is the model for the fictional Dom in the novel she’s writing. But getting involved with her boss? Probably not a good idea.

When Beth is mugged on her way home, she finds herself in Adam’s arms and in his life. She discovers that he is the Dom she’s always wanted, but ghosts from his past have come back to haunt him, putting his business and his life at risk. Beth’s life is threatened and Adam must do all he can to protect what he holds most dear.

Inside scoop: In addition to lots of experimentation with BDSM and a yummy almost-ménage, there are references to a violent, non-consensual sexual encounter.

A Romantica® erotic romantic suspense from Ellora’s Cave

KIRSTIE ABBOT

British born and bred, Kirstie lives in North West England, and ever since winning an erotic short story competition in a magazine more years ago than she cares to remember, she has been a writer-in-waiting. A lightbulb moment during a business trip gave her the inspiration to try her hand at an erotic novel, a hobby that rapidly turned into an all-consuming passion, interrupted only by the day job. 

Writing is her addiction. Kirstie looks for inspiration wherever she goes, and has found it in some unlikely places—including a drive home from the supermarket that involved a detour due to roadworks!

Favorite Quotes

“Good morning, angel! And how are you this fine day? Is the brute in?”

Wrapped up in her work, Beth hadn’t realized how quickly the morning was going until the cheerful male voice greeted her. She recognized it instantly—it belonged to Dan Chesterfield, another walking mountain of testosterone. He swept into the office like a force of nature, straight to her desk and lifted her hand to his mouth to place a gallant kiss to the back of it. She couldn’t help but smile.

And where Adam was dark, moody and could be downright scary, Dan was all blond hair, blue eyes and muscular charm by the bucket-load, packed into six feet three inches of immaculately attired masculinity. Attractive yes, but as far as Beth was concerned he didn’t quite have the same charisma as her employer.

“I’m fine, thank you, Mr. Chesterfield.” She smiled up at him, rising from her seat. “Yes, Mr. Granger’s expecting you—can I get you some coffee?”

“So have you taken her as your sub yet?” Dan asked the question seriously, knowing full well what the answer would be—one of the first things he’d done on entering the outer office had been to check for the presence of a collar.

“Don’t go there,” Adam growled without even turning around.

Dan gave an exasperated sigh. “Man, you are going to have to do something and soon. I know I’ve said this before but you know she’s perfect sub material—always so eager to please, moves like a dream. She’s classy and elegant. If you don’t, I will.”

That made Adam swivel his executive chair round to face his friend. “Like hell you will, Chesterfield.” The statement came out as just short of a snarl.

Dan raised an eyebrow to go with the smug grin. His ex-military buddy only used his surname when Dan had put a particularly large burr under his saddle. “I thought that would get a rise out of you, old man.” From time to time, he liked to remind Adam of his seniority, in terms of both age—all of two years—and former rank. “So when are you going to do something about it?”

Although she nodded, Beth was biting her lower lip. Adam suspected that she was hurting more than she was prepared to admit. The grazes were minor but she could barely put any weight on her right foot and then there was the possibility of shock to consider. There was no way he was letting her out of his sight tonight.

“At least he didn’t get the office keys,” she murmured, her hand closing on the bunch of keys she’d left on her desk.

Adam made an impatient noise. “Sod the bloody office keys! What about your own keys? And your credit and debit cards? What else did you have in your bag?”

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Beth is a woman who has been attracted to her boss since she started working for him. She also loves to write stories about being dominated by him but was too afraid to do anything about it.

Adam is her boss and is an Alpha male who loves to dominate his women in bed, and he has wanted to dominate Beth since the first day he met her but didn’t want to scare her. But when he found her story she was writing he realized that just maybe she can handle his life style. So he starts to make a plan but then Beth is mugged on her way home and he changes his plan and he moves his plans up and he decides he is going to take her to his home and take care of her and then show he just how much he wants her as more than just an administrative assistant. But someone is out to destroy everything Adam has worked for and Adam has a secret too. Will his secret destroy the relationship they are building? Or will whoever is trying to destroy Adam take what has become dear to him first?

This was an excellent story with suspense, action and hot sex… Kirstie Abbot writes well written stories that keep you wanting more. As you read her stories they pull you in and make you feel as if you are in the story yourself.
