This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sean is called in for a surprise performance review after hours, he's unprepared to face down his intimidating and fabulously wealthy CEO in his high-rise office suite - especially since he's always been secretly attracted to the older man. What's even worse is having to deal with his boss' graceful and charming European partner as well - especially when the two handsome men make it clear they intend to review more than just Sean's performance in the workplace. This 5,500-word story contains explicit descriptions of hot office sex, multiple steamy male partners, deepthroating, and multiple penetrations. It is intended for mature readers only. Excerpt: "I understand you've been with the company for just over a year," Mr. De Soto guided me over to the long soft leather couch lining the far wall. I followed his lead obediently and sat down. The warm, solid form of Mr. Blackthorne settled on the other side of me. I felt sweat start to bead at my back and on my forehead. More importantly, I was definitely getting hard. I couldn’t help it; there way their attention seemed to fixate on me, the claustrophobia induced by the (admittedly massive) closed office, and most of all, their nearness to me, was more than I could handle. And there was no way to hide it, no way to surreptitiously shift myself without being noticed, flanked as I was by the two men. "That's right. I was, uh... scheduled to have my review on Monday." My head spun as Mr. Blackthorne filled my glass once more. Hairs prickled upright across my skin as his breath touched upon my hand. "I apologize for the short notice," he murmured, holding my eyes in his intense, hungry gaze. "That is my fault," the European partner said as he took my hand again, this time without the pretense of a handshake. He cupped my palm and traced his fingers across the top of my hand. I started to breathe faster as my stomach roiled. "I like to become personally acquainted with everyone under me. Mr. Blackthorne has told me many good things about you." "He has?" my mouth felt dry. I took another sip of the scotch, suddenly thankful for its warmth. Strong hands pressed lightly onto my shoulders. "Of course, Sean. You've been a valuable addition to this company in the past year," Mr. Blackthorne's breath was close and hot against my ear. My body tingled at the sudden attention of both these men closing in on either side of me. "I have been meaning to tell you how much I've noticed you. You have, I believe, noticed me as well." "I… ahhh..." I exhaled with more abandon than I'd intended. The alcohol made it difficult - impossible, really - to hide how turned on they were making me.

This sizzling three-pack contains stories of young men being seduced by their older, wealthier, and more dominant bosses. This raunchy collection of rough sex features multiple partners, dominant bosses, workplace fantasies, sex in public places, and late, late nights at the office! Contains over 17,500 words of the following stories: 1. Cornered in the Elevator After new employee Ryan finds himself trapped in an elevator along with the Partners of the multi-billion-dollar law firm for which he works, he quickly discovers there's nowhere to hide when the dominant, suave Nathan Harding and towering, muscular David Longfellow set their sights on the vulnerable young man. 2. Jammed in Traffic Bryce Long has always been intimidated by the billionaire partners of the Garrett and Peringer law firm... even while secretly finding them incredibly attractive. So when he's invited along for a private limo ride with his two imposing, older bosses, he's not sure how to say no. Not that either of these men are used to taking 'no' for an answer... When rush hour traffic leads to a gridlock, things quickly get steamy as the two older men turn their attentions to their captive (and willing) prey... all while the downtown crowd looks on. 3. Surprise Performance Assessment When Sean is called in for a surprise performance review after hours, he's unprepated to face down his intimidating and fabulously wealthy CEO in his high-rise office suite - especially since he's always been secretly attracted to the older man. What's even worse is having to deal with his boss' graceful and charming European partner as well - especially when the two handsome men make it clear they intend to review more than just Sean's performance in the workplace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We don't get a lot of NBA superstars coming through little ol' Pine Hill, Texas. That's why everyone is all in a tizzy over the fact that the USA men's Olympic basketball team will be training here of all places before this year's Summer Games. With little else to talk about, rumors about the players have been spreading like wildfire, and there's one man in the middle of it all holding a match. Ben Castillo. NBA champion. Olympic gold medalist. Widely hailed 'King of the Court'. The morning he walks into my dingy diner, I have enough sense to keep my head down and go right on wiping tables, pouring coffee, and serving up short stacks. A man who looks like that-superstar or not-has only ever meant trouble, and more trouble is the last thing I need, what with taking care of Nan and scraping by on tips from truckers. If anything, he seems drawn to my indifference. His steely gaze pierces me behind the counter. My knees nearly buckle under the weight of his attention. But while Mr. Pretty Boy is probably used to snagging city girls with a smile, this gal is country strong. I won't be some clichéd convenience for him on his way through town. So look over your choices carefully, Benny-boy. We serve up sides of hash browns here, not heartbreak.

Book excerpt: I'm good at hiding my feelings.Having to pretend I'm not in love with my best friend?Pfft. That's child's play.Here's how I do it: I avert my eyes when he walks out of his room, shirtless in all his toned glory. I squash the butterflies that fill my stomach every time he slowly unfurls a dimpled smile. And, most importantly, I keep an arsenal of "personal massagers" in my bedside drawer. Wink.Not to brag, but Aiden Smith isn't hard to resist if you've been doing it for as long as I have. In fact, we might have continued as best friends forever if not for the fact that I needed him to play the part of my fake boyfriend.Date me like you mean it, I told him. Nudge nudge. C'mon, just go along with a little lie, help a girl out, and then we can all return to life as we know it.Except he veered from the plan.He crossed the line.Flirting with me when no one else was around? Pinning me down and kissing me like that? Okay, how exactly is taking off my bra part of the ruse, Aiden?!I'd ask him about it if I could, but well...things got ugly and we're not best friends anymore.In fact, we're the exact opposite. Now, I have to play nice even though I want to crush his heart in the palm of my hand. Pretending not to love Aiden was the easy part.Pretending not to hate him?Well...I might need a little more practice.

Book excerpt: Nicholas Hunt is the man I hate.For good reason.His opinion of me is tainted by prejudice even before my arrival at his grandmother's estate, and my first impression of him is just as abysmal.His arrogance and icy demeanor make it clear that he's the type of man who's best handled at a distance.Fortunately, space shouldn't be an issue inside this Gilded Age mansion and its lush gardens. If I stick with the servants and he keeps to his sailboat and vintage Porsche, we should hardly cross paths at all. Unfortunately, at Rosethorn, I find that all roads eventually lead to Nicholas Hunt.Sparks fly as we spar at the dinner table. Fighting words are flung in the shadows of the palatial halls. We hang suspended in our hatred of one another, painfully oblivious to the heat and tension that build with every moment we're left alone. We're liable to kill one another, I think...right up until my eyes land on his lips and a new feeling grips hold of me: lust. What's worse? He knows it.They say you should keep your enemies close, but when Nicholas tightens his grip on my waist and draws me near, I'm not sure if it's out of loathing or love. One thing's for sure-I intend to find out.

When her mother's incessant matchmaking hits an all-time high, Georgie Archibald does what any sensible woman would do: she flees the country.Seeking refuge in the picturesque seaside village of Vernazza, Italy, Georgie's only plan is to lie low, gorge herself on gelato, and let the wine and waves wash her troubles away...that is until she wakes up in a bed that belongs to the most romantic-looking man she's ever seen.Gianluca.After going out of his way to rescue her, the former London financier turned mysterious recluse makes it clear that despite acting as her white knight, he has no plans to co-star in her fairytale.But Georgie isn't asking for his heart-she's merely intrigued. After all, Gianluca isn't just gorgeous-tall and tan from days spent in the sun-his touch sets her world on fire. With him, Georgie experiences the most intoxicating passion she's ever known, and it only takes a few steamy nights for her to realize that sometimes running away from trouble is the best way to find it.

Book excerpt: A moving story of a woman with early onset Alzheimer's disease, now a major Academy Award-winning film starring Julianne Moore and Kristen Stewart. Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. At fifty, she's a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard and a renowned expert in linguistics, with a successful husband and three grown children. When she begins to grow forgetful and disoriented, she dismisses it for as long as she can until a tragic diagnosis changes her life - and her relationship with her family and the world around her - for ever. Unable to care for herself, Alice struggles to find meaning and purpose as her concept of self gradually slips away. But Alice is a remarkable woman, and her family learn more about her and each other in their quest to hold on to the Alice they know. Her memory hanging by a frayed thread, she is living in the moment, living for each day. But she is still Alice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an Olympic rookie, Andie Foster has spent far more time in her cleats than between the sheets. For 21 years, her Friday nights have consisted of blocking shots rather than taking them. But now that she's landed in Rio, she's ready to see for herself if the rumors about the Olympic Village are true: - The athletes are all sex-crazed maniacs... - The committee passes out condoms like candy... - The games continue long after the medals have been handed out... As Andie walks the line between rumor and reality, she's forced into the path of Frederick Archibald, a decorated Olympic swimmer and owner of a sexy British accent-too bad he's unavailable in a way that "it's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain. In other words: off limits. It doesn't matter that he has abs that could bring peace to the Middle East and a smile that makes even the Queen blush; Andie fully intends on keeping her focus on the soccer field. But the Village is small. Suffocating. Everywhere Andie goes, Freddie happens to be there-shirtless, wet from the pool, and determined to show her a whole new meaning of the phrase "international affairs."

Book excerpt: The reader-favorite romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey, for the first time in print with exclusive bonus content. Everyone in Cedar Creek, Texas, knows Jack McNight is an arrogant devil. Physically, I get it: he’s tan and fit, with coal-black hair that’s clearly been scorched by hellfire. Oh, and his personality? It burns just as hot. When I show up on the doorstep of Blue Stone Ranch, I’m run-down and rockin’ my last pair of underwear. I’m hoping for a savior, but instead, I find him. My opinion of Jack is marred by a dismal first impression, but his opinion of me is tainted even before I arrive. He’s heard I’m a spoiled princess there to take advantage of his goodwill. To him, I’m more trouble than I’m worth. Our button-pushing banter should get under my skin. His arrogance should be a major turn-off. Problem is, devils are known to offer their own form of temptation. Every one of his steely glares sends a shiver down my spine. Every steamy encounter leaves me reeling. Sure, it could be the Texas heat messing with my head, but there’s no way I’ll survive the summer without silencing him with a kiss and wrestling him out of those Wranglers. Who knows...going to bed with the devil might just be the salvation I’ve been looking for all along.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Maine Literary Award for Fiction A literary novel set on the coast of Maine during the 1960s, tracing the life of a family and its matriarch as they negotiate sharing a home. Eleanor Morse's Margreete’s Harbor begins with a fire: a fiercely-independent, thrice-widowed woman living on her own in a rambling house near the Maine coast forgets a hot pan on the stovetop, and nearly burns her place down. When Margreete Bright calls her daughter Liddie to confess, Liddie realizes that her mother can no longer live alone. She, her husband Harry, and their children Eva and Bernie move from a settled life in Michigan across the country to Margreete’s isolated home, and begin a new life. Margreete’s Harbor tells the story of ten years in the history of a family: a novel of small moments, intimate betrayals, arrivals and disappearances that coincide with America during the late 1950s through the turbulent 1960s. Liddie, a professional cellist, struggles to find space for her music in a marriage that increasingly confines her; Harry’s critical approach to the growing war in Vietnam endangers his new position as a high school history teacher; Bernie and Eva begin to find their own identities as young adults; and Margreete slowly descends into a private world of memories, even as she comes to find a larger purpose in them. This beautiful novel—attuned to the seasons of nature, the internal dynamics of a family, and a nation torn by its contradicting ideals—reveals the largest meanings in the smallest and most secret moments of life. Readers of Elizabeth Strout, Alice Munro, and Anne Tyler will find themselves at home in Margreete’s Harbor.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BEST THRILLER OF 2021 AND "GLOBETROTTING" PICK! A woman reclaims her own story in this taut and wholly original literary tale from one of China’s literary superstars. Hongmei is the perfect Chinese wife: beautiful, diligent, passive. Glen is the perfect American husband: intelligent, caring, well-off. From the outside, Hongmei and Glen's life in the San Francisco Bay Area seems perfect. But at home, their marriage is falling apart. Post-its left on the fridge are their primary form of communication. When Hongmei receives a beguiling email from a secret admirer, naturally she’s intrigued. But what starts out as harmless flirting with an internet stranger quickly turns into an all-consuming emotional affair. As Hongmei spills more and more about her dark past as a military intelligence officer-in-training in China, she falls deeper and deeper into a tense cat-and-mouse game. Desperate and self-destructive, she embarks on an investigation into her emailer’s secret history…one that may tear her life and marriage apart forever. A psychological story at its core, The Secret Talker elegantly examines how repressed desire and simmering silence can upend even the most idyllic marriage. As Hongmei pursues her stalker, her identity and agency come into question, and the chase curveballs into a captivating journey of self-actualization. Yan Geling pierces the human psyche to reveal devastating and emotional truths – and an ending that will leave readers speechless. Translated from the Chinese by Jeremy Tiang
