Caitlyn Fox is a dynamo publicist working at a boutique agency. She's noticed her boss, Jamison Wolfe, but has he noticed her? Nyet. But when he does, she's going to make sure she breaks all the rules.Caitlyn's direct boss is pregnant, and on bed rest, leaving Caitlyn in charge of the firm's newest and most prominent clients--three reality stars from a show called <em>Treasure House.</em> Two of the trio are clearly a pair, but Tommy is interested in Caitlyn.She knows she can't get involved with Tommy--much like she knows she can't get involved with Jamison. And yet, Jamison is her target. She's spent months learning his cues--from the other side of the office. Caitlyn's demeanor with Jamison is cool, yet compelling. She directs him when he didn't think he could take direction, and he finds he likes it very much. Yes, Jamison likes being subordinate. He revels in pleasing Caitlyn--in even the most simple ways.What Jamison doesn't like? Tommy. There's no doubt that the man is interested. But, does Caitlyn return his ardor? Jamison is willing to step past the simple control games Caitlyn has established to ensure his suit, but, in the process, their tryst is discovered at a moment of complete vulnerability for Jamison. Can he get past his embarrassment? Can Caitlyn continue working with Jamison amid the tension?Tommy, of course has some role to play here...but will it lead to reconnection, or severance?This is a sensual, short read. It packs a whole lot of punch, both emotionally and sexually. I really enjoyed the play between Caitlyn and Jamison. They have a subtle Dom/sub dynamic that is really easy to imagine and involves no special training or implements, per se. Tommy is a nice foil--rounding out the story and providing a satisfactory third wheel to the romance. I enjoyed the resolution, and would read a sequel.
