About the book
"Nathaniel West doesn't lose control. As the playboy CEO of West Industries, he governs the boardroom during the day. As a strict dominant with exacting rules, he commands the bedroom at night. He never takes on inexperienced submissives, but when Abigail King's application comes across his desk, he breaks his own restrictions and decides to test her limits. Abby's combination of innocence and willingness is intoxicating, and Nathaniel is soon determined to collar her as his own. As long as she follows his orders and surrenders herself fully to him, no one will get hurt. But when Nathaniel begins falling for Abby on a deeper level, he realizes that the trust must go both ways -- and he has secrets which could bring the foundation of their entire relationship crashing down..."--Page 4 of cover.
