He doesn't just hire; he owns. A dark, spicy billionaire BDSM romance featuring a workplace enemies-to-lovers struggle for dominance. Will she surrender to her boss?

The offer was too tempting to refuse, but the thought of carrying his child and pretending to be in love with him was overwhelming. As she returned to her apartment, anxiety and uncertainty consumed her. She questioned her decision, wishing she hadn't accepted.
