  Kash Kamdar is the king of a peaceful but powerful island nation. As Loa Mali’s sovereign, he is always in control, the final authority. Until his mother uses an ancient law to force her son into marriage. His prospective queen is a buttoned-up intellectual, nothing like Kash’s usual party girl. Still, from the moment of their forced engagement, he can’t stop thinking about her.

  Dayita Samar comes from one of Loa Mali’s most respected families. The Oxford-educated scientist has dedicated her life to her country’s future. But under her staid and calm exterior, Day hides a few sexy secrets of her own. She is willing to marry her king, but also agrees that they can circumvent the law. Just because they’re married doesn’t mean they have to change their lives. It certainly doesn’t mean they have to fall in love.

  After one wild weekend in Dallas, Kash discovers his bride-to-be is more than she seems. Engulfed in a changing world, Kash finds exciting new possibilities for himself. Could Day help him find respite from the crushing responsibility he’s carried all his life? This fairy tale could have a happy ending, if only they can escape Kash’s past…

  Robert McClellan was forced to serve as a soldier in a war he didn’t understand. Liberated by McKay-Taggart, he struggles every day to reclaim the life he lost and do right by the men he calls his brothers, The Lost Boys. Only one thing is more important – Ariel Adisa. The gorgeous psychologist has plagued his dreams since the day they met. Even as their mission pushes him to his limits, he can’t stop thinking about taking his shot at finding a life beyond all this with her.

  Ariel Adisa is a force to be reckoned with. Her performance in Toronto proved she’s more than just a brilliant mind, but Robert still acts as if she is a wilting flower who needs his protection. Joining him on the mission to Munich should be the perfect opportunity to test their skills and cement their relationship. She and Robert are an excellent match. But when a stunning secret from Robert’s past is revealed, their world is turned upside down and nothing will ever be the same again.

  While they chase dark secrets across Europe, Robert and Ariel realize that the only thing worse than not knowing who you are could be discovering who you used to be...

  * * * *

  “Are you all right?” Ariel had stopped beside him. “Is Dante giving you trouble?”

  He was glad she’d been upstairs when they’d gone on their rant. “I think the pressure is starting to get to him. But we can talk about that tomorrow. I think after we get back to London we should have a big group meeting and get some things out in the open.”

  “They think Damon and Ian are keeping things from them?”

  No. He did not want to go there. He stopped in the middle of the hall and got into her personal space. She backed up against the wall and he loomed over her. It was time to move from reality to a place where they might be able to play out a few fantasies, if she was ready. “No work talk. If you want to go to sleep, I’ll kiss you now and see you in the morning. Tucker and I are in the room next to you. If you need anything I’ll be there. If you aren’t tired and you want to talk some more, we can go down to the bar and have another glass of wine with the full knowledge we don’t have to go any further than that. I’m more than willing to sit up talking to you all night long.”

  She tilted to her head up to him. “And if I want to go to bed but not to sleep?”

 
His heart rate ticked up, blood starting to thrum through his system as he invaded further, brushing his chest against hers. He reached for her wrists and gently brought them up and over her head, pinning her to the wall. “Then we need to make a few things clear.”

  She took a deep breath, her lips curling up as though she liked the way he smelled. “Me sub, you Dom. Got it.”

  He leaned over. “Hey, I’m trying to make sure I take care of you the way you like to be taken care of. I’ve watched you play. I don’t think your play partners realized how much you like being dominated. I think they view you as a woman who enjoys a spanking from time to time. They don’t get how much you need to know your partner is thinking about how to handle you. They don’t understand that you need to stop thinking. You need a place where you obey your partner.”

  “In their defense, I had no interest in sex with any of them. I was looking for a spanking, some physical play that wouldn’t lead to real intimacy. You watched me?”

  “I always watch you,” he admitted. “It’s why my brothers insist I’m your stalker. I watch you because I can’t not watch you when you’re in a room. If I thought for a second that it made you uncomfortable, I would make myself stop, but I think you like it.”

  She watched him, too, and not in a way that made him think she was wary of him. It had always been there between them—the crackle and fire of sexual chemistry.

  “You’re going to be a talky one, aren’t you?” she asked.

  And she was going to be a brat. “You’re the one who usually makes everyone else do the talking. Yes, I want you to talk to me. I want you to tell me how you’re feeling and if the things I’m going to do to your body work for you. I need you to understand that nothing is more important to me for the rest of the night than ensuring that you’re well taken care of. So let’s set some ground rules. Unless you want me to play this vanilla. I can do that. I can very gently take you inside and lay you out on the bed and then I’ll make love to you.”

  Her eyes flared. “Or you could bend me to your will and fuck me so hard I can’t think of anything or anyone but you.”

  He liked how she thought. “Then stop being a brat. And yes, I’m a talkie top. I’ll make you talk to me while we’re playing. This is my therapy session, Dr. Adisa. You’re not in charge. Say that. Tell me who’s in charge.”

  “You are, Robert.” Her tone had softened along with her eyes.

  “And who obeys me?”

  “I do. I obey you when we’re playing.”

  “Tell me your safe word.” He had no intention of her using it, but they needed it there between them.

  “I’ve always used red, but I’m not going to use it with you.”

  “But you have it if you need it. We’re going to walk into that room and you’re going to strip for me. You’re going to present yourself to me. Am I understood?”

  Her pupils had dilated and her body seemed more languid than it had before. Him taking control was doing exactly what he’d thought it would.

  “Yes, Sir.”

  “Then kiss me sweetly and do what I commanded.”

  She popped up on her toes and brushed her lips against his. Heat flashed through him and he had the overwhelming need to press her against the wall and find a place between her legs. He could shove his cock inside her and not stop until they both came.

  Or he could make this last for a very long time. He could spend hours and hours playing with her because making love to Ariel wouldn’t merely be about an orgasm.
