Ropes, passion, diamonds…mission accomplished.
“If you are not reading Katie Porter, you are missing out on some seriously hot books!” — Under the Covers
Widower Nicholas “Nicky” Stafford, leader of Command Force Alpha, has known love, loss and high-stakes danger. Recent run-ins with a Russian conglomerate codenamed Firebird have been the most challenging of his career.
He trusts his professional judgment—but cannot trust his desires—when a colleague insists the only way to trace Firebird’s dirty money is to pose as besotted lovers at a fetish conference. Nicky hasn’t touched shibari rope since his beloved wife’s death.
Astrid Holm has lost everything. Twice. Her father bankrupted her family, then she became notorious after blowing the whistle at a Fortune 500. Then, with her career in ruins, she found herself sitting opposite steely-eyed Colonel Stafford…who made her CFA’s top accountant.
As they explore the conference’s dangerous delights, Nicky enjoys how Astrid’s sweet eccentricities begin to revitalize his soul. And when bound by Nicky’s skilled hands, Astrid finds the safety she craves. That safety is short-lived. Before passion can become love, they must evade traps and intrigue more elaborate than the knots that bind them.
