What do you get when you take one seriously uptight Dom that has suppressed his sexual needs for years due to an error in judgement while on the job, and a single 30-something secretary that has put her life on hold while taking care oh her children? You get one smoldering hot read that will draw you into Mr Yamamoto and Ms Tyrell's romance. Things aren't always what they appear to be, at first glance it appears they have a normal boss/secretary relationship except for Mr Yamamoto's extreme demands that also include his control over what Ms Tyrell wears to work. Everything is about to change when one day he pushes her to far and she quits. This one act will blow the lid off their relationship and force Mr Yamamoto to confess his deepest darkest desires and fears. Will Ms Tyrell be able to handle the truth and how will the rules governing their new relationship affect her personally.  You will have to read Harder to find out, I finished this short story within an hour and did not want it to end. The sexual encounters slowly build in intensity as you realize Mr Yamamoto has been in love with Ms Tyrell for years and that she has hidden feelings for him. There is a sequel that I hope will answer all the questions I have about this interesting couple from different backgrounds. Mr Yamamoto is a half Swedish/Japanese  monied North Sider and Ms Tyrell is an African American South Sider that has worked her way to the top of her profession. I enjoyed this short steamy read and can't wait to read the sequel Hardest.
