Shannon feels as if she's down to her last chance when she takes a job as an advertising rep at the local newspaper. Two years earlier her husband dumped her for a younger woman, and since then she's drifted, not really able to focus on, or care about, anything. Then she signs on with the local paper, her sixth job since her husband left, hoping her good looks and outgoing personality will give her some success in ad sales. She's hopeful things will finally work out for her when the boss – newspaper owner and millionaire Tim Martin – takes a special interest in her. Shannon soon learns his interest is more than just professional, and when she goes home with him one night she finds herself in the midst of the hottest, most torrid, passionate evening she's ever had. Then she discovers her new boss has some rather strict expectations in a relationship – among them that she meet his demands without question, giving herself over to him. Fully. Tim makes it clear, she can walk away at any time, no questions asked, no strings attached, but if she opts to stay with him that means becoming his exclusive toy, there to meet his every desire. That makes her nervous, but after just one mind-blowing passionate encounter, Shannon finds herself willing to do anything – absolutely anything – for more.
