Jessica Stanley is comfortable in
her orderly life as a paralegal at a high end law firm. Having dated her fair
share of liars and manipulators, Jessica views men through a pair of thick,
cynical lenses. Men are good for one thing in her eyes, and one thing only.
Her predictable life is thrown into
a whirlwind of new experiences when she meets a dominating man at a casual
dinner with friends.
Royce Bradford is a man of intent
and is used to getting his way. Until he meets Jessica. She is wound tight, and
he finds himself yearning to unravel her secrets and her passions.
Jessica declares their relationship
casual. She’s tempted by his seductive tone and unusually powerful demeanor to
give him that much. But for Royce, it’s not enough. He wants more.
Except Jessica has built a secret
tomb around her heart, and it will take a lot more than sensual play times and
verbal commands for him to be allowed entrance. Royce never backs down from his
desires. He takes up the challenge to seek out her Hidden Heart.
EXCERPT
“What are you thinking about?” He
finally asked.
“Last night.” An honest answer with
no probing from him.
“The bath?” He grinned.
“No,” She laughed. “Although, who
would have guessed that your shower head could do so much more than rinse my
hair. I was thinking about what happened before the bath. I think we can take
it off my limit’s list.” A subtle blush.
“Take what off your list?” A small
push.
She sighed. “Isn’t it enough that I
like it? That I’m willing to do it again? Do I have to say it?” Her eyes didn’t
meet his.
“Tell me what it is that can come
off the limits list, and tell me you want to do it again. Willing makes it
sound like you will endure it- and I remember last night very clearly. You did
more than endure it.”
“What will you do when I get so used
to your way of talking that I stop blushing?”
“Tell me.” He wouldn’t let her veer
off course.
She pierced her lips together and
let out a long breath through her nose. She had already resigned herself to
obeying, but she needed a moment to realize it.
