Can I earn her trust before she breaks my heart? Wren Shipman is not my usual leggy blonde, but she ensnares me. Tilts my world off its axis. At my first attempt to ask her out, she claims a wealthy, arrogant playboy isn’t her type—an accurate judgment according to my social media. But I only want her. At my second attempt, she claims she’s too busy earning her college degree to refine the stain of her poor upbringing. But I already see her as perfect. In vulnerable desperation, I make a third attempt to show her I’m hoping for more than just another notch on my bedpost. I end up in the friend zone and fall even harder for the woman who is everything I’m not. When bitter reality threatens Wren’s dreams of graduating, I jump at the opportunity to reveal I have depth beyond what she assumes. Will she give me a chance to prove I’m trustworthy…or will she break the heart she refuses to believe she owns? \* Fourth Attempt is the first book in the Elite Escorts series featuring playboy bachelors and the women who capture their hearts.

I’m Elite Escort’s shibari master—but I’m no sadist. I love sending a client flying, finding comfort in my ropes. Some view my form of play as an act of domination, but I see it as a way to offer an escape. Childhood trauma honed my intuition, making me notice what others easily miss. When a curvy sub, leashed and cowering behind a man playing Dom, visit the club I frequent, my protective instincts kick in. Faced with an opportunity to reveal to Becky what a real D/s relationship is supposed to look like, I take on the challenge. I observe more while binding her in my ropes—bruises she attempts to hide behind her lowered head and long hair. She’s a battered and broken spirit worn down by years of abuse—the same as my mom had been. I refuse to let her meet the same fate, but for the first time, it’s my hands that are tied. While I long to help Becky break free, it’s up to her to find the courage to take control—before it’s too late.

As the owner of Elite Escorts, I have unlimited access to subs who crave domination without emotional ties. I never expected the business to make me a wealthy man. But I’ll be honest. Seeing all my friends settle down has made me realize something is missing from my life. My new secretary Jasmine is a librarian fantasy come to life. Her innocence calls to the sadist in me and every dark desire I have. But there’s only one problem. She can’t tolerate physical contact. Anywhere—at any time. Psychological baggage from her childhood allows for friendship in the office but hinders a normal relationship. And the type I yearn for? Hopeless. However, when I offer myself to her to practice physical touch, I get a glimpse of what we could be. But her past and present collide, threatening the fragile connection we’ve built. \*Zero Tolerance is the 5th book in the Elite Escorts Series. See author page for trigger warnings.
