Under His Terms

Elena

I have exactly one rule for my life right now: don't get distracted. Not by the corner office three floors up, and definitely not by the man who runs it. Six months out of my MBA program, this internship is my one shot to prove I don't need anyone's help to make it — least of all a man who looks at me like he's already decided how the night is going to end.

Then I walk into the interview and realize I've met him before. He's the stranger who bought me a drink, told me exactly what he wanted, and disappeared before I could give him my name. Now he signs my paychecks.

I built an empire out of nothing and I don't apologize for how I run it — with total control, zero exceptions, and no room for anyone who makes me want things I gave up wanting a long time ago. Then the woman from the bar walks into my building wearing a blazer and a badge with my company's name on it, and every rule I live by starts looking negotiable.

I tell myself I can keep this contained. One arrangement, clearly defined, easily ended. She gets a mentor. I get to stop thinking about her mouth. Neither of us gets hurt.

I'm wrong on all three counts.

Together

What starts as something we can both walk away from becomes the one thing neither of us can afford to lose — not with a board watching for any excuse to push him out, not with her career hanging on a reputation she hasn't built yet, and not with the secret he's been guarding since long before she walked into his office threatening to come out anyway.

Under His Terms is a STEAMY standalone romance with a full happily ever after and no cheating.
