Making ends meet—barely—working at a used book store, Callie Thornton is wasting her time and hard won degree shelving old, musty classics. But there is one highpoint to every workday: when a handsome, well dressed stranger comes in to buy his daily read. But he only has eyes for the books she sells him—that is until she literally tumbles from a ladder and he saves her from a painful fall. From that instant on she has his complete, wanton attentions. The man is none other than billionaire CEO of Sinclair Enterprises, Gabriel Sinclair. And Callie finds herself at his non-too-tender mercies both sexually, romantically, and in the work place when he offers her the career opportunity of a lifetime. But will the billionaire’s dominate personality, and sadistic sexual predilections, be too much for her to handle? And will Callie’s own lethal secrets ultimately destroy the happiness she has at last found.
