I knew Erik Jensen was trouble the moment I crashed into him in front of a bar on Bourbon St. I didn't know how much trouble until the wanna-be Dom dragged me into court on a ridiculous charge.

Looking more like a sexy pirate than an attorney, there's nothing pretend about Jensen, and the stakes are higher than I ever could have imagined. Because Erik isn't the man I thought he was, and neither is the game we're playing.

If I win, I keep it all: my business, my reputation, and my formerly invulnerable heart. If I lose...well, I won't let that happen.

But it's getting harder to tell which one of us is being mastered and before long, a safe word is the only thing standing between happily ever after and a pair of broken hearts.
