  “Minutes? I don’t even know what that means—”

  “Now!”

  “Help,” Prussia mouthed, her eyes wide, before turning around and hurrying off.

  “What was she about to say?”

  “No idea,” Billy snapped. His expression softened. “I have news. You’re no longer my subordinate.”

  “Really?”

  Billy stepped close to her. “In the eyes of the company, we’re coworkers.”

  Georgia looked up at him, barely able to breathe. “I feel like you’re about to say ‘but.’”

  “I’d like you to be my submissive. There’s a whole world of things you don’t know, and I want to show you. Not just at work. Do you trust me?”

  Georgia glanced in the direction Prussia had scurried off. What had Prussia found out?

  “Georgia! I don’t know what Prussia was going to say, but I’m not harboring any dark secrets. No murdered ex-wives or warrants for my arrest. You have enough information to answer the question. Do you feel safe with me?”

  God, it was so overwhelming. She couldn’t think straight when he stood that close. “Am I safe with you?”

  “Yes,” he said solemnly. It was a promise.

  She shivered. “Then let’s try. I want to be your submissive… and you’ll be my… what?”

  His laugh made her shiver again. “You’ll see.”

  Every winter, Cunningham and Jonathan fly the company to Aspen for a week of snow and fun. Elle’s never been on the slopes, but she’s too embarrassed to admit it, especially when Cunningham seems to be (finally) falling for her. One lie leads to another …

  Despite cramming in private snowboarding lessons, Elle can’t stop the men from realizing she’s in over her head. Cunningham orders her dragged into the trees for punishment, where he, Jonathan, and Nolan are joined by a brawny stranger. It’s cold outside, but the sex is sizzling hot … maybe even hot enough to melt Cunningham’s heart.

  Even before Alyssa meets Eric at a party, she knows all about him. That he likes to tie up submissives, that he has a dungeon somewhere, and that he breaks more hearts in three months than most guys do their whole lives. As far as she's concerned, Eric is just another rich playboy, and though part of her craves him, Alyssa knows men like him are good for one thing: nothing!

  When Eric overhears her claiming that he can't possibly be good in bed, he challenges her to prove it—one week, no sex necessary (unless she begs). Instead of slapping him, she accepts. She can't pass up the opportunity to make him publicly admit that he's clueless about women.

  If he wins ... but he couldn't possibly win. Could he?

  Cammy loves her handsome, smart and rich fiancé, but there's still room for improvement—and she’ll pull out the black boots, handcuffs and whip if she needs to. Dominating an alpha male is always a risky undertaking, but a misstep with Rob could destroy their relationship.

  Rob doesn't know why, but ever since Cammy threatened to spank him for bad behavior, he can't seem to stop pushing her buttons. When she marches him into the bedroom, he tells himself that he's just playing along. But if that's the case, why is he so turned on?
