PAIGE CALLAHAN needs to focus on her work, but her mind keeps wandering to her irresistibly hot boss, Nick Lawson. His dominance, deep voice and seductive charisma awaken a frenzy of wild fantasies and ignite an overwhelming, primal attraction towards him. Her deepest desire is for these dirty fantasies to turn into reality.
What she truly wants is a man who can take control in the bedroom and provide her with mind-blowing pleasure that she has never experienced before. She gets it that kinks aren't for anyone, probably for her stoic boss, Nick Lawson, too.
But Paige can only fantasize, right? Especially when he's particularly stern with her, leaving her soaked all the time.
NICK LAWSON is a strikingly handsome project architect with a stoic exterior. He's determined to bury his painful past in projects, paperwork and cage fighting, all while trying to keep thoughts of Paige Callahan at bay. He can't stand sweet and innocent, yet nothing is sweeter than Paige, a cupcake-baking landscaping designer.
As time passes, having her nearby proves increasingly difficult. He can't stop thinking about her and finds himself holding his breath every time they cross paths. But Nick doesn't believe in office romances. They always end badly. Besides, love is for suckers and only weakens a man, leaving deep wounds when it's gone.
And anyway, how could they get involved when he's her boss?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
