Meet Scarlett Striker, a bold and quirky journalist for the Seattle Times. She's fun, confident, sassy, and just the right amount of weird. Scarlett is determined to rise to the top, no matter what it takes.
When her boss offers a golden opportunity to be among the best, Scarlett knows she needs to find a story that will make her career. She's willing to say and do just about anything to get there. But from the moment James Wilson enters the picture, her life takes a dramatic turn-and nothing will ever be the same.
Scarlett's POV:
"Are you always this infuriating?" he asks, clearly annoyed.
I shoot him a glare, my temper flaring. "Depends on who's pissing me off," I snap back, noticing the way his fists clench. Great, now I've gone and poked the bear.
"All good. I forgive you," I add quickly, not wanting to push him too far. He scoffs and turns away, unimpressed.
God, what an asshole. I know I'm testing him, but I can't help it-I've always been a hothead, especially when someone tries to control me.

Meet Elizabeth Casana, a highly regarded executive assistant in New York City. She's smart, a bit of a nerd, and an obsessive cleaner, but she's also confident and never afraid to speak her mind. When she moves to Seattle with Scarlett, she lands a job as Chris Bryant's executive assistant. He's charming, fun, and carefree-but she absolutely cannot fall for him. Little does she know, falling for her boss will be the least of her worries as her past resurfaces and new dangers emerge.
Elizabeth's POV:
I roll my eyes, but I'm smiling too. "You're such a charmer, Chris. But I'm onto you."
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
"Not bad," I admit, my hand resting comfortably on his leg. "Just...dangerous."

He put his hand on mine, stopping me from signing.
"I need you to take this seriously. This isn't a game. This isn't a movie. If you sign this, your body will be mine. No safe words, no romancing, no cuddling. I will use you how I wish. Do things to you, you won't even have seen in porn. I will hurt you, abuse you, make you want me to stop, then beg me to continue.
"Finally, I will throw you away when I have had my fill. You can try to escape, in fact, I encourage it, but I will find you and the chase will only excite me more, which won't end well for you. You wanted excitement; here it is. You wanted pleasure, you will get it, but reality isn't always better than fantasy. I can almost guarantee you will regret this."
"Are you trying to put me off?"
He smiled down at me. "I won't be accused of miss-selling. You either want it or you don't. Well, Faye. What will it be?"
