Alexandra Anderson has everything in her life worked out. She has a perfect job in a Manhattan empire, allowing her to live a quiet, organized, and safe existence—a necessity after a childhood filled with abuse. She’s worked hard to get where she is, and she’s just landed an amazing promotion. There’s just one problem: the promotion comes with a boss that could derail everything she thought she needed in her life. Jake Carrero, billionaire playboy. He’s everything she’s not—compulsive, dominant, and confident, with a laidback attitude to sex and dating. As their lives become more and more intertwined, the lines blur and the careful walls Alexandra has built begin to crumble. Alexandra: l smooth my small hands down my pencil skirt and tailored gray jacket before touching up my dark red lipstick in the hall mirror with a sense of resignation and my boobs jiggle and l scan my reflection, checking that my tawny hair is neat and sleek in its high bun, making sure my appearance is precisely in place and sighing one more, l take a steadying breath, trying to ready myself, pushing down the gnawing ache of anxiety and nerves deep inside of my gut and I walk in.
