Claimed (The Billionaire's Command #2‪)‬

When Caroline decides to risk everything and move to San Diego to live with Mark Selzer, the billionaire she met in Hawaii, she has no idea how much her life is about to change. 


Not only does Mark ask her to do something she's not sure she can do, but when she meets his family Caroline discovers Mark's family secrets run as deeply as hers. But what happens when Mark decides to finally confront his demons? 


This 15,000 word story is the second instalment in The Billionaire's Command trilogy. Here's an excerpt: 


We arrived in the middle of the afternoon. I’d never been to New York City before, and I marvelled as I looked out the window of the car driving us downtown. 


“One day I’ll take you here for a holiday or something, so you can really get to know the city. I would have loved to do it now, but coming into the holidays and the end of the year I’m afraid I can’t spare the time away from the office.” 


“That’s alright,” I smiled. It was true that Mark had been spending a lot longer than he usually did at the office lately. It was still nice to be able to spend a whole day with him, even if we’d lost three hours due to time zone changes and were going to one of those fancy rich people dinners. 


When we got to the hotel, we pretty much had to start getting ready straight away, otherwise we were going to be late. I slipped into my dress, a floor length, navy blue curve hugger that shimmered every time I moved. I absolutely fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I paired it with silver heels and a pair of diamond earrings Mark had given me for my birthday in September. When I came back out into the living room, Mark let out a low whistle. 


“Damn, you look good,” he murmured, leaning in and kissing my earlobe gently. I could feel my body reacting to his touch, but forced the thoughts away. We were going out, there was no time for anything like that.
