That reckless impulse resulted in several failed relationships, not to mention the implosion of his marriage. And what's the best way to ensure you don't make that mistake again? That's easy.

To say things have gotten complicated with the men in my life would be an understatement. My mission to discover the secret kink club has been put on hold, but not because I’m distracted by the three men plaguing my thoughts and dreams. Not only because of them, anyway. They are certainly responsible for keeping my attention away from my goals. However, my main concern is the man blackmailing me with a video I’d prefer isn’t seen by the public. That man has given me an ultimatum, and I have a decision to make—an important one. But for the moment, Creed, Hawk, and Garrison are doing their best to keep my mind off my problem, and they have a proposition for me. One that will effectively shift my focus yet again.

Do you know what happens when you try to build a house of cards in a windstorm? It doesn't work. And if you're lucky enough to lay a foundation and erect a few walls, it only takes one misstep to throw the delicate balance out of whack and cause the whole thing to fall. That's one way to describe what it's like to date three men. Three handsome, intelligent, quick-witted men. They are also arrogant, sexy, domineering, and overbearing. Did I mention frustrating? Because they can be. One more so than the others. As for the misstep that will send these precarious new relationships tumbling? I think it's coming.

Plus, it ensures she doesn't get pulled under their spell.She should've known even that wouldn't be easy. When Kaden and Keegan have questions, Bristol reluctantly agrees to dinner to explain the details. That was her first mistake. The second resulted in the hottest night of her entire life with the two sexiest men she'd ever met.A night that would change all their lives in ways they never expected.

I am only one week into my new job at Primal Instincts, LLC, when I realize super sleuth is not something I will be adding to my resume anytime soon. Although I’m still on my mission to uncover the truth about the secret kink club I suspect exists and is somehow tied to my employer, I find myself with more pressing things to deal with than solving that mystery. Between balancing the work assignment I’ve been given and the change in my current dating status, the only time I have left is spent dealing with a dominating, manipulative, not to mention sexy, man who has me in his crosshairs. Unfortunately, the aforementioned dominating man starts the dominoes falling when his manipulation puts me in a vulnerable position. It’s crazy what can happen in a week.

As though dating three men isn’t complicated enough, now there are new feelings to decipher and another threat creating chaos. Only this time, my stalker has stepped up his game, and his actions send the men in my life into protective mode. But not before I learn that they’ve been lying to me since the day I met them. These aren’t little white lies, either. Or ones of omission, no matter what Creed says. These are the kind of lies used to package up secrets that have the ability to alter the entire foundation of our relationship. This time, I’m not looking for space. I’m not walking away. I want answers, and they’re going to give them to me. What I don’t realize is that getting them may very well set us on another course entirely.

What twenty-four-year-old recent college graduate would sign up to uncover a secret kink club rumored to be hidden within the walls of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate? Me. Why? Well, that’s easy. I’ve spent my entire life with my nose to the grindstone, doing the right thing, focusing on my future, and now I’m bored, which isn’t a good thing when you have an insatiable curiosity. I probably should’ve considered the type of bait needed for a fishing expedition of this magnitude when I applied for the job at Primal Instincts, LLC, looking to uncover the secret world that exists only on the whispers of those who’ve never so much as glimpsed the dark, seductive inner workings because those who had wouldn’t dare reveal anything. Now that I’m through the door, I’ve got my determination and single-minded focus to keep me moving forward. I will figure it out if for no other reason than to say I did. Provided I don’t get sidetracked by not one, not two, but three men who are ridiculously good at keeping secrets.

According to them, when chaos disrupts your ideal sense of normalcy, setting ground rules is the best way to rein it in. Just a few basics to keep things from falling apart. Only my men aren’t calling these additional rules the basics. And normal … well, that’s not a word I would use to describe what they have in store for me.

Having spent the last two and a half months with my bosses, the thought of spending the holidays alone isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I feared I would be doing. Or so I thought.

While I find myself immersed in a lifestyle I am still getting familiar with, spending time with my bosses is proving to be more than I’d originally anticipated. Not only am I experiencing what it means to offer my submission freely, I’m also experiencing something else. Something that feels a lot like love. Until they switch things up and make me choose between them. That’s not something I’m capable of doing. After all, not only am I falling in love with one of my bosses, it appears my heart already belongs to two. Except one of those two seems to be rejecting me and I’m at a loss. If only I could let things go back to the way they were in the beginning, return to our original arrangement. If I could do that, it might work out.

Spencer Kaufman When I signed on to the NHL, I promised to give 150% to the game. I’ve done that. Little did I know, but they would ask more from me than merely my skill on the ice. The team wanted me to be their captain. It’s an honor, one I’ve done my best to fulfill. Although I can’t take all the credit, I was there to lead when we won the Stanley Cup. I’m still at the helm now, when we’ve hit rock bottom. I know I have let my fears get in the way. I’ve let down the team, even if they don’t realize what I’ve done. Now that the new season’s underway, I’m being called out. I deserve it. I can deal with that. It won’t be easy, but I’ll persevere. What I can’t deal with is her. She surprised me. She came out of nowhere and blindsided me. And there’s one serious issue. Now that I have her, I refuse to let her go. *This is a full-length, standalone novel.

Having spent the last two and a half months with my bosses, the thought of spending the holidays alone isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I feared I would be doing. Or so I thought. I probably should’ve learned long ago not to underestimate the men I work for. They do have a way of surprising me when I least expect it. While I find myself immersed in a lifestyle I am still getting familiar with, spending time with my bosses is proving to be more than I’d originally anticipated. Not only am I experiencing what it means to offer my submission freely, I’m also experiencing something else. Something that feels a lot like love. Until they switch things up and make me choose between them. That’s not something I’m capable of doing. After all, not only am I falling in love with one of my bosses, it appears my heart already belongs to two. Except one of those two seems to be rejecting me and I’m at a loss. If only I could let things go back to the way they were in the beginning, return to our original arrangement. If I could do that, it might work out. Too bad my heart doesn’t seem to be listening to reason. This is the second part of a duet - both books are being published on the same day. This book is not for the faint of heart. It contains explicit sexual content, including, but not limited to BDSM, swapping, sharing, voyeurism, exhibitionism, m/m, m/f/m, and m/m/f encounters. **
