My boss is teaching me to be bolder in the boardroom…and the bedroom. I’m not bold enough to take over my father’s company, but I’ve sworn to do whatever it takes to learn. Even if it means working for Jameson Stone, the billionaire CEO of Craze Advertising, who’s as hard and unmovable as his name implies. He tells me to demand what I want instead of backing down, something I’ve always struggled with—in the boardroom and the bedroom. There are things I want to try, things I’ve only read in my romance novels, but have been too afraid to ask for. When my boldness lessons turn into foreplay lessons, it’s nearly impossible not to fall, and if I’m not careful, I’ll end up losing everything I’ve worked for to a man who’ll always choose business over me.
Cynthia Page loves making people laugh and blush, and has enough encounters of the awkward kind to inspire plenty of both. She’s a wife, mom, and full-time writer of steamy romantic comedies. She’s addicted to happily-ever-afters in books, movies, and real life.
She’s a free spirit; he’s a no nonsense kind of guy.
When these opposites attract ... oh baby! It's game on!
I’ve called Aoife O’Shaughnessy a number of things, but dumb was never
one of them. Through all the insane things she’s done—all the trouble she’s
gotten into—I never once thought she was actually stupid. Until now. Because I just heard her plan to lose her virginity to the vilest human
being I’ve ever met.
My first thought? How the f*ck is Aoife still a virgin? The
second? Over my dead body.
So I volunteered for the job instead.
It might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever done, but once the
words were out of my mouth, I couldn’t take them back. Now, I can’t stop
wondering what it will be like to kiss the pink-haired sprite I’ve known my
whole life, to hear her moan my name when she comes.
And I know she’s wondering about me too.
What started off as a bit of fun has spiraled out of control and now I’m
in deep. I never meant to fall in love with Aoife … it was never supposed
to go this far. And what happens next, just might break both of us.

One look at the gorgeous, curvy brunette standing alone at BDSM club Dark Grove Plantation, and I know she’s mine. She thinks that her desires are twisted and wrong, but I intend to show her how good my harsher methods of seduction can feel. It’s in my nature to dominate, to claim. I have every intention of claiming Holly, body and soul. And if her bastard ex tries to come back for her, he’ll find out just how harsh I can be when someone threatens what’s mine. Note: An earlier version of this story was released under the title Awakened. It has been extensively re-written as Holden.
“Such a sweet sub,” he said, his voice impossibly deep and heavy with satisfaction. The power exchange passing between us was affecting him as strongly as it had ensnared me. My body and mind were utterly in his thrall, and in that moment, I would have eagerly done anything to please the man who held ultimate control over my being.
He slid two fingers between my legs and traced the seam of my sex through my lacy black panties.
“You’re wet,” he observed with a lustful growl. “I knew you’d be like this.”
“Like what?” I asked, barely able to focus on his words. They seemed to roll off my consciousness like water. Reality was hazy, the world falling away until all I could sense was him: his hard body beneath me, his masculine scent surrounding me, his deep voice rumbling through me. I was captivated by the power that pulsed off him. It caressed my body like a physical touch.
“I knew you’d be naturally submissive,” he replied. “I knew you’d be perfect.”
The praise sank into me to warm my chest.
A different warmth bloomed between my legs when he stroked my clit through my panties. I cried out at the light contact to my sensitive nub. It had grown achy from his ministrations; his gentle fingers contrasted with his stinging discipline. He was harsh and tender by turns, and the dichotomy messed with my thought processes.
“Do you want to come, little sub?” he asked, the question rough with his own desire.
“Yes,” I breathed. “Please, Sir.”
He let out a low groan. “Fuck, you’re sweet when you beg.” He lifted his hips slightly, pressing his cock harder against me. “Do you feel that? Do you feel what you do to me?”
“Please,” I begged again, on the edge of sanity. “Fuck me.” I’d never spoken so crassly, but the deviant words came naturally. I wanted him to claim me, to ravage me.
“You’re going to come first,” he said tightly, restraining himself. “You’re going to come so many times that you’ll be begging me for mercy and sobbing my name by the time I’m finished with you.”
