Blurb:
During the day,
she’s in charge—at night, he’ll take command of her body, their desires…
Dominance and discipline. Alexandra hungers for both from Daniel,
the lead engineer on her Alaskan energy project. She imagines him punishing
then mounting her while his team watches. Full-figured, Alexandra hasn’t had
much luck with guys, especially ones so potently male. To change that, she
invites Daniel to teach her submission to his most carnal needs. She also
invites his men.
For too long, Daniel’s craved Alexandra’s lush figure and smarts.
However, she’s his boss, it’s not wise to mix business with pleasure, and no
damn way does he intend to share her. After one lusty night of her submitting
to him and his men, Daniel claims Alexandra as his sub. On his terms. No
regrets. No strings.
Yeah, right.
Tell that to their hearts.
Inside scoop: Alexandra and Daniel set things on fire with a brief ménage. Lucky
girl has several men to fulfill her needs!

Excerpt:
Daniel debated whether to ask if she
wanted in on their poker game. Before he could, she moved to a shelf of plastic
plates. With her beer bottle next to them, she pulled off her other glove, her
scarves, parka, and tossed them on an empty bench. She wore construction boots,
jeans, a plaid flannel shirt in black and red, along with thermal underwear
that peeked from beneath her collar and the ends of her sleeves. In other
words, clothing identical to what he and the others had on.
Unlike them, she looked adorable, her
long, chestnut hair braided, the end of it dangling above her ass. Her lush
buttocks filled out her jeans nicely, begging a guy’s hands to explore every
inch of them. Daniel couldn’t count the times he’d wanted to indulge himself in
that, along with snuggling his face between her full, ripe breasts that were
beyond womanly. Alexandra’s body was all softness and curves, meant for a man’s
use.
Though not his. When she noticed him
watching, indecision, and what might have been unease, flickered across her
face. She took another prolonged swig of her beer.
Cool
it, he ordered himself. Clearly, he was
scaring her.
With a ton of willpower, Daniel turned
back to his cards, not seeing any of them, no matter how long or hard he tried.
Alexandra remained in his thoughts.
She’d moved to the pool table in the
corner and kept rolling the cue ball across the torn green felt. Each time the
ball hit the side of the table, Daniel’s heart jumped. In his peripheral
vision, he noticed she’d focused on him again. Nat kept shooting him looks that
asked, ‘What the fuck’s going on?’
Only Alexandra knew, and she wasn’t
telling.
Intrigued, Daniel glanced over.
She didn’t turn away as he’d expected,
but regarded him with such naked hunger, his mouth went dry. A trickle of sweat
ran down his chest. Was she actually coming on to him? In front of his crew?
She stopped bouncing the ball in her
hand. Her face flushed, making her eyes seem even bluer. She murmured, “Do you
want to play with me?”
For too many damned weeks, and she must
have finally caught on. Her throaty voice had dropped even lower, sounding
nearly as deep as his. Junior noticed that and her double entendre. Bending
over, he muffled his snicker as he pretended to get another beer.
Daniel said the only thing he could,
given the other guys. “You want to play pool?”
Alexandra regarded the ball, her
expression saying she just noticed it and the table she’d leaned against. Her
forehead and cheeks pinked up even more. If Daniel had been a betting man, he
would have wagered she was debating whether to stay or run.
She didn’t move a muscle. Her body
language changed, showing her sudden decision. Her determination to dig in here
as she’d often done on the site, as though her life depended upon it. “If
that’s what you want to do first.”
First?
Nat kicked him under the table. Daniel
ignored him. “I don’t understand.”
Alexandra put the ball down. “We can
make it interesting. Play for our clothes, unless you prefer strip poker.” She
gestured to the deck of cards. “I’m game for either, and everything that comes
after it.”
