Book Blurb
The brawny Dom and the beautiful Diva—and the secrets they keep.
A personal trainer and part-time escort, Liam is burly, bossy, and perfectly cast as the resident Dom at the Haven Hotel. And if anything falls outside that box—like the lacy lingerie he keeps hidden in his gym bag—that’s easily ignored, right?
Felix’s career as a successful model means being at the beck and call of anyone who requires him. He’s expected to be satisfied with glamour, money, and subservience. No one would ever believe his secret desire to take control.
When Liam agrees to show the outrageously pretty and delicate Felix around Liam’s infamous Room 8, neither one expects the disobedient desire that sparks between two such opposite men.
Felix is looking for a lover who’ll let him call the shots, whereas Liam is fighting the desire to submit. Their passion and power could make for a kinky role reversal.
They just have to surrender to their deepest needs.
Exclusive Excerpt
I started unbuttoning my shirt. Liam’s gaze snagged on my hands, and I noticed it hesitate somewhere around my chest. His eyes got even darker as he followed my own modest tattoo, emerging on my too-pale skin. It was a thin, trailing vine starting at my left nipple and sliding down over my belly. I pushed my hair back over my shoulders to expose it better, tracing a fingertip down its meandering path, all the way to the vee of my hip. I paused with my hands at the waistband of my jeans.
Liam sucked in a breath that sounded almost painful.
“You’re gorgeous. I’m gonna enjoy you,” he said softly, and took a step towards me.
“Stay there!” I snapped. I barely recognised my voice. It had taken me many years of elocution to lose my East London accent in favour of softer tones, to cultivate a more sophisticated, light-hearted way of speaking that endeared me to the modelling world. But it appeared I could still call on the harsher pitch when needed.
Liam halted. His body shook briefly. I wondered how often his clients told him what to do.
I was as hard as a rock, and desperate to loosen my jeans. But the sudden flame in Liam’s pupils had me even harder. I was no gym bunny, and against him I probably looked almost brittle. But I had muscle from my yoga exercises, and core strength from the hours I spent on my feet at work, holding poses, helping to lift props, all the elements of my job that needed both energy and stamina. I was proud of how I looked. A hell of a lot of investment had gone into it.
“For how long?” Liam asked, deceptively mild.
“Until I tell you.”
