“He's using one lapse in judgment to try to force more.” Ryan Hall, personal assistant and secret lover to gorgeous billionaire Geoff Parker, is growing aware of a threat on the horizon. With their relationship shakily defined and secretly conducted, the smallest blow could have harsh consequences. As Valentine's Day approaches, Geoff's insisting that they can either indulge their deepest desires or openly date – but not both. The secret in Geoff's past is about to be spilled, and all Geoff wants to do is protect his loyal, sweet personal assistant from the worst of the fallout. Like it or not, though, Ryan is determined to drag the truth out of Geoff and break the hold Geoff's ex-assistant and ex-boyfriend seems to have on Geoff's mind or his heart. Ryan craves everything Geoff offers him: submission behind closed doors, loving respect at home, and career growth in the office. Geoff, too, knows where his heart lies; but protecting Ryan from gossip blogs and prying eyes is impossible when their greatest secret is about to go viral. One phone call, one blinking light, one keynote speech: each could change the course of their future as they decide what risks are worth taking. Is it too much to ask to have it all? Tied is the second book in the Secret Love duo. It has a HEA ending and NO cliffhanger.
