Nini Salazar-Roberts, a single mother of twins always tries to do right by her kids. What happens when she meets the annoyingly cocky singer, Ricky Bowen after a bad day? Actions have consequences, and nobody slaps Ricky Bowen in public and gets away with it. Warning: this story does mention abuse. There will be warnings before the chapters it is mentioned in!

Nini is the secretary of Ricky Bowen's record label. He makes an order, she makes sure it's carried out. They're a great match in every way...well almost every way. He wasn't exactly the nicest, and she was the only one who could tolerate him. Nini confuses Ricky in ways he doesn't understand. Ricky drives her wild to no end. And the line between admiration and disdain seems to slowly become thinner each day. Warning: There is eventual smut and mild S&M!

After Ricky risked it all to sneak out and perform at Nini's fundraiser, she feels the need to say thank you... in her own special way. But what becomes of their friendship when things go just a little too far, and they just can't get enough? 😏😏😏😏
