Tess Wakefield has cooled on sex. Oh, she did the
rebellious wild-child thing in college, making it a point to
break all the rules -- especially the ones about sex -- and
all it got her was a string of loser boyfriends and a fear
of rashes. Underwhelmed by her experiences, she's happy to
focus on her career and leave her vibrator in storage.
Now an advertising exec, Tess has been hired by one
of Madison Avenue's hottest agencies as co-creative director
with wunderkind Danny Gabriel. Secretly, she's been asked to
rein in his maverick style, and Tess immediately suspects
Danny when someone sabotages her new campaign. But everyone
in the place seems to have a secret agenda. It's a cutthroat
business, and not everyone is willing to play nice with the
new girl.
Including Danny. His early, fervent
advances are a pleasant shock to Tess, but she never
imagines for a second that she'd allow him to draw her into
the dark heart of the most breathtakingly erotic S&M
club in Manhattan -- or that she'd be so willing to give up
control and like it.
