Elena is being blackmailed by a superior at work who is trying to frame the VP for embezzlement. She's going to be forced to plant evidence that will incriminate VP Kyler Pierce. However, Kyler has caught on to the scheme, and knowing that Elena is as much a victim as he is, he has to try to fix it so they don't both end up in jail. Kyler is a Dom who can recognize a natural submissive and he's had his eye trained on Elena for some time. With all the drama swirling around them, can Kyler convince Elena to trust him as a Dom?I've read a lot of these kinds of books lately and the blackmail was a new twist to the rich guy/innocent girl/Fifty Shades type storyline. I liked that Kyler understood the depth of his mistake with Elena, especially in a relationship where trust is paramount. Elena was like a wet kitten, you just want to cuddle and coo at her. In other words, she wasn't that strong a chick. I would have liked to see more backbone in both Kyler (as a Dom) and Elena (as a woman).I did like the book and it kept my interest. It's only 100 pages, which worked for this story, and I felt like there was enough here, although maybe a little more sexy times would have been nice.
