My life was fine. Not remarkable, but I was doing OK. A steady job, a half-decent flat. I even had a Swiss cheese plant that somehow managed not to die on me. I suppose you might even say my life was boring, until a phone call from my dad turned everything I thought I knew on its head. My dad owes money. An eye-watering amount. A fortune, in fact. And it has to be paid back or he’ll lose his home. I’m all my dad has left and can’t let that happen. Joel Bulgari is a hard man to bargain with. He demands payment, he wants his pound of flesh. My flesh, to be specific. He wants me. In return for my dad’s home back, I am to give Joel Bulgari six months of my life. I am to be at his beck and call, twenty four hours a day. His, to with as he pleases, to obey his every command and satisfy his every dark and twisted wish. Joel Bulgari scares me, but not as much as I scare myself when I realise I might actually like what he’s doing to me. Dominant, demanding, powerful, Joel Bulgari is not what he seems and he wants more than just money from my dad. He wants justice. He’s determined to have it. And I’m to be collateral damage. This book contains sexually explicit content which is only suitable for mature readers.
Author
Until 2010, Ashe was a director of a regeneration company before deciding there had to be more to life and leaving to pursue a lifetime goal of self-employment. Ashe has been an avid reader of women’s fiction for many years—erotic, historical, contemporary, fantasy, romance—you name it. Now, at last in control of her own time and working from her home in rural West Yorkshire, she has been able to realise her dream of writing erotic romance herself. She draws on settings and anecdotes from her previous and current experience to lend colour, detail and realism to her plots and characters, but her stories of love, challenge, resilience and compassion are the conjurings of her own imagination. She loves to craft strong, enigmatic men and bright, sassy women to give them a hard time—in every sense of the word. When she’s not writing, Ashe’s time is divided between her role as resident taxi driver for her teenage daughter, and caring for a menagerie of dogs, rabbits, tortoises and a grumpy cockatiel. * From http://www.total-e-bound.com/authorde...
