Ophelia Stark is the backbone of Bettendorf Enterprises. As the sharp-witted, impeccably organized P.A. to the company's founder, she's spent years ensuring the multi-billion dollar empire runs like a well-oiled machine. When her boss announces he's taking an indefinite sabbatical, Ophelia assumes she'll be the one guiding the transition. What she didn't expect was for the keys to the kingdom to be handed to the one man she can't stand...Malcolm J. Bettendorf. Malcolm is a legend, but for all the wrong reasons. A former American football star with a jawline that cuts glass and a reputation that keeps the tabloids in business, he's more comfortable in a nightclub than a boardroom. The transition is anything but smooth. Between Malcolm's unconventional "locker room" leadership style and Ophelia's rigid professional standards, the office becomes a battlefield. But as the late-night strategy sessions turn into deep-tissue conversations, the line between professional disdain and personal desire begins to blur. Malcolm discovers that Ophelia is the first woman who doesn't want his money or his fame, she wants his respect. Meanwhile, Ophelia begins to see the vulnerability of a man struggling to find his identity off the field. The road to love is paved with corporate sabotage and public scrutiny. With a board of directors waiting for Malcolm to fumble and a vengeful ex-flame looking to ignite a scandal, the stakes have never been higher. As secrets from Malcolm's past threaten to dismantle the Bettendorf legacy, Ophelia must decide if she's protecting the company or the man who has finally tackled his way into her heart.

Grabbing the bowie knife from the holster, I tell her to stand still. Nika looks at me with those sad and beautiful eyes, hoping Im not going to hurt her. I tell her she needs to be punished, and that tonight is going to be a long night for her. "Punished? I have done nothing wrong here! You're trying to keep me here against my will---" I punch her in the gut, and she falls to her knees. I don't like hurting my baby girl, but she needs to listen to what I tell her. "Quiet! From now on, only speak when I ask you a question. Do you understand me?" I say through gritted teeth. Nika only nods her head quickly. "That's not a good enough response, baby. When you answer me, I only wanna hear you say 'yes daddy' and 'no daddy'. Is that clear?!" I raise my voice like a drill instructor. She looks up at me with terrified eyes and says 'yes daddy'. Nika is a 19-year-old college student who her step-father Phil has taken care of for six years on his own. Her mother died when she was only 14, leaving Phil to be her only family. Their relationship has always been a loving one. But with many skeletons in his closet and a dangerous obsession with the last reminder he has of his late wife, Phil is becoming unhinged. Will his religious background, the savagery of being a government killer and his soft spot for all things involving Nika drive him over the edge? Will he claim her, or will he let her be free of him?

He used to bully her. Now he owns her. When Alessia Romano walked into her new job at De Luca Enterprises, the last face she expected to see was his-Giovanni De Luca, the rich, sadistic bastard who tormented her in college... and the man who now controls her career, her body, and her every breath. Worse? He's not just a billionaire CEO. He's the boss of the Italian Mafia-and he's been waiting for her. Giovanni doesn't just want Alessia under his command-he wants her on her knees, begging, branded, and broken in all the ways only he can deliver. And when she resists, he doesn't fire her. He cages her. The tension is unbearable. The sex? Rough, possessive, and addictive. He spanks. He binds. He whispers filth in Italian while she moans into silk sheets. And despite her defiance, her hate, her fear-her body keeps surrendering. But Alessia is no longer the scared girl from college. She's smarter. Angrier. And dangerously close to falling in love with the devil who's tying her wrists and stealing her soul. In a world of secrets, bullets, and obsession, love isn't safe. It's a weapon.
