The last thing Ashley Warren needed was her high school crush returning to town, especially with the problems she was having. Someone wanted her hotel…badly and had no issue with doing whatever was necessary to get it. After the interested party runs off numerous contractors who were handling her hotel remodel, she has no other option but to accept John Hurks’ offer of help, but only on the remodel. John, however, wants more. When things turn dangerous, he needs Ashley to follow his orders but he soon finds the little spitfire doesn’t take well to being told what to do. She might disobey John the old high school crush, but she will not disobey John the Dom. Much to her surprise, Ashley finds she likes the consequences of defying a dirty, sexy Dom.
