Publisher Description
The set-up: He's her billionaire boss. She's in love with someone else. They both know it's wrong, but can't resist the temptation.
Lies. Deception. Destruction. Passion. A recipe for disaster or happily ever after? Follow Mia and Deacon on their epic journey. It will take them places they never wanted to go...
When Deacon Starkis sets his sights on the gorgeous young model gracing the pages of his glossy catalogue, he knows he has to have her. One problem. She’s not available. But that won’t stop Deacon. He’s a man used to getting what he wants and he wants Mia.
Mia is stunned when she receives an email from the elusive billionaire who owns the lingerie company she models for. He tells her he’s intrigued. He’s not the only one. But she knows she’d be a fool to throw away an eight year relationship for a brief affair with the head honcho. He doesn’t do relationships and she doesn’t do casual sex. It seems they’re at an impasse.
Who will come out on top in this battle of wills? The dominant one or the woman intent on teaching him the meaning of submission?
Note to readers: First person point-of-view... his and hers! First book in series. No cliff-hangers!
Customer Reviews
Love the story
I have a pattern in the kinds of books I read. This one is not it, but I loved it. I wish it would include an epilogue of their hea.
Deacon was too forceful
I usually love stories like this, but I was very disappointed with it. Throughout the whole book it felt like Deacon was sexually harassing Mia, which he was, and there was one part where it felt like he forced her into his bed. He was very manipulative. If you are looking for a story where the male protagonist is respectful and listens to a girl when she says no, this is not the book for you.
Deacon (Book 1, Starkis Family Series)
What an interesting book. Although this story irritated me quit a bit, it also held my interest the entire time I was reading it - sign of a good author! I don't know if I would of been able to trust Deacon either. This story is a roller coaster ride full of emotion, & had me thinking, a lot.
