"Any man who submits to me does so with confidence that he deserves the best.” When a practical joke goes wrong for Ryan Hall, junior IT employee, he has no idea that a hot rendezvous can lead to secret love. Billionaire CEO Geoff discovers and fulfills Ryan's desires, but it's obvious they crave more than physical connection. He lets Geoff “punish” him as they try to scratch the itch for each other without admitting to their feelings. After Ryan becomes Geoff's new personal assistant, he decides to give Geoff an ultimatum... but first, he gets an opportunity he can't turn down. Self-made billionaire Geoff Parker never dreamed that he'd find that special someone in one of his employees. He has wounds to hide and a reputation to maintain, but he's desperate to know if Ryan feels the same pull towards him. He's happy to have Ryan over his knee, but even his staff see that he's happier even when Ryan's nearby. It's worth the risk; he gives Ryan the chance after a hot encounter to take their relationship from professional and physical to deeply personal. Their first steamy explorations give way to their growing passion, but a man Ryan suspects is Geoff's ex and the eyes of the office stand in their way. Can they forge through the rocky terrain between hookup and happily dating, or will scandal and fear hold them back from their potential? Tied is the first book in the Secret Love duo. The second book, Bound, will be released on July 17th, 2015.
