The man she’s always
hated may finally take her down
Tara
Johnson's sacrifices are about to pay off: a senior executive at
thirty-five at a Fortune 500 company, she's one of the two finalists
in line for a Managing Director position. Unfortunately, her rival of
fifteen years, the charming, infuriating Richard Boyd, is just as
qualified, and unlike her, he's willing to cross pretty much every
line to get what he wants.
Of all the things Tara stored
in the attic to make it to the top, it's her personal life she misses
the most. That is, until she starts a steamy affair with sex god
Aidan, her direct report. Interoffice relationships with a
subordinate can mean the end of a career, and when Richard finds out,
it's the perfect opportunity to take his high-heeled nemesis out,
especially since he's still nursing a grudge against Tara for
rejecting him years ago.
But Tara's increasingly
domineering lover has his own dark secrets, endangering more than
just her career. As her liaison spirals out of control, salvation
will come from the man she always thought she hated, and perhaps the
only one to truly understand

I needed to regroup, figure out what I really
wanted. I wanted…something. But hooking up with a random guy definitely wasn’t
it.
A woman had other ways to satisfy her sexual
cravings. Mine came in trendy silver, with an electronically operated,
“modest-sized” device designed specifically for ”her” pleasure. It was there
for me when I needed it, it didn’t require any work on my part to get it ready,
and it didn’t ask to rank our latest adventure when we were done. “Tara, sweetie, how was it? I feel like this one was
at least a solid eight.” My Adam & Eve had
a bit more common sense than that.
Today, our ”date” started just like it always
did—a quick steamy shower to get my limbs soft and ready, and a little spritz
of perfume (hey, I knew my date wasn’t real, but I was trying to get in the
mood). I dropped onto my silk, thousand-thread-count sheets, and…nirvana.
Only the ordeal didn’t go according to my
plan. The moment I closed my eyes, I saw Aidan’s face. Grinning and looking at
me with a devilish smile on his face. His arm with the snake tattoo that went
all the way up and around his bicep slid under my blouse and reached for my
breasts. Hang on a minute. Why had Aidan
invaded my intimate session with my vibrator? Why did he think he was welcome?
I needed a restart.
Some more perfume, extra pillows behind my
back.
There, much better.
Ahh, it felt so good.
Aidan, that time bare-chested, showed me
exactly where that tattoo disappeared. In the masculine curve between his hard
bicep and his shoulder blade.
Damn it.
I wouldn’t be masturbating to the image of
Aidan stripping in front of me. He was exerting himself for me at work, not for
my climax. We might have shared burritos, but it still didn’t give him the
right to turn into my made-up, perfect man who helped me release my tension at
the end of a busy day.
Go away, Aidan.
Another attempt.
Total failure.
I was doing something wrong here. As a method
of last resort, I tried to bring up the images of a real bad boy I’d met during
my trip to Buenos Aires many years ago. Our one real night was steamy, but it
couldn’t be compared to the many fake ones when I’d used those memories to help
my battery-operated assistant.
Yet, no matter how hard I tried to work my
tricks, the images of a bad boy came with a sexy tattoo on his arm, a set of
mischievous dimples, and there was nothing remotely Hispanic in those sexy blue
eyes.
Fifteen minutes later, orgasm-less and totally
frustrated, I threw my vibrator aside and climbed under the covers.

has always seen Romance stories in everyday life. Well, maybe not
"everyday", strictly speaking, unless you count spying on a
charismatic hedge fund manager ordinary, or touring across Turkey on
a quest to figure out the puzzle in the will of a deceived Turkish
woman as something you'd normally do, or even battling it out on the
executive floor with a decades-long nemesis who happens to be
standing in your way of achieving your life's goals. One thing is
certain, though. Love will prevail (even if sometimes with the help
of steamy sex).
