You couldn’t have everything—not in this lifetime. Natasha Bond's life is relatively simple: a steady career, two gorgeous friends and no complications. But in reality Natasha has a tight rein over her life. This control is the answer to crippling grip of her past—something that is challenged when she meets potential client, Alexander Winter. The instant attraction leaves Natasha breathless. Alexander has a voice of seduction and a darkness that intrigues her. All the more reason for Natasha to resist, but Alexander is intent on getting his way. Under pressure, she accepts Alexander's account, succumbing to his mouth, hands, and hard body relentlessly drawing pleasure from her. Natasha however, forces herself to see it as a means to an end. It should be simple—keep both work, and the client happy—but it is never that simple. Something that she needs no reminders about. How do you let go of the past, when it keeps hanging on? \*Spartan is the first book of the Winter novels. It contains explicit scenes.

Alexander was a dark horse, left at my gates in the black of night. I opened them and he swiftly slipped beneath my flesh. After a turn of events Natasha finds her carefully managed life turned upside down. Life goes on, and although she seems to have recovered, the truth is, she's no longer comfortable in her own skin. Forced to face the past, will she finally let go and fight for what she wants? Or will be too late?
