Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

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?

His finger lightly touches the bottom of my chin, and he pushes my face upwards so that I'm looking into his eyes. Eyes that are solely on my lips. I can't help it. I bite them. "Oh, Delta," he whispers, quietly giggling under his breath. His laugh makes my heart beat faster. So fast, I can hear it pounding in my ears and rattling my bones. "I want to bite those lips of yours... so badly." ~ Xavier is a brawler. It's an absolute shame really, because Delta hates violence. She hates Xavier too. Or at least she thinks she does. But one lip bite and one hungry kiss might just be enough to flip her entire world upside down. And then all at once, desire comes crashing down on her like a tidal wave. ~ Start: October 5th 2017 End: July 7th 2018 WARNING: I wrote this book before I realized how typical and cliché character stereotypes were, so I apologize deeply if you cringe while reading this, but thank you boatloads if you do decide to anyways.
