Charlie
is a passionate, sensually inspired art student, desperately seeking an escape
from an abusive past that haunts her and a tragic accident that emptied her
heart. Scarred and unable to love, her yearning for physical pleasure and
contact leads her into a tantalizing, dangerous world of power and
seduction. The anonymity of the deal offers security, the money provides
financial freedom, and the madam’s authority is the mother figure she longs
for.
But the
thrill of the mansion and its arousing dominance quickly fades when she meets
the renowned yet mysterious Cameron Hardy, whose intense, baby blue eyes send a
nervous flutter through her core. He’s sexy, and not in a subtle way. Cameron

Excerpt:
Cameron hadn’t
watched me undress; he’d turned in his chair to face the wall opposite me, but
he swung back to the front as soon as he heard my movement.
“How naked do
you want me?” I asked when I reached the center platform. The stool pressed
against the back of my thighs.
A light came
into his eyes, his face. A smile teased his lips. “Just from the waist up.” As
I was about to release the sheet, his mouth opened again. “But I want you to
cover your nipples with the palms of your hands.”
I rested my
forearm over both breasts while I slid the sheet down to my waist. Once it was
tied and secured in place, I cupped my nipples in my palms. My skin was already
warm, but it seemed to turn even hotter from his stare. I could feel his eyes
on my body…especially the bulges under each hand.
“Yes,” he said,
a small change in his tone. “That’s perfect. Now take a seat on the stool.”
I slowly
followed his instructions, making sure the sheet didn’t fall.
“Turn sideways,”
he said. “I want your profile.”
My feet moved to
the metal bars on the stool and I pushed myself to the left, rotating in the
direction I had faced before. My actions were shaky and my stomach was wracked
with nerves. I didn’t know why. I had no problem getting naked at the mansion,
strutting toward my clients in much less than I was wearing now. But in here,
with Cameron, I begged for a mask.
“Feel like
sharing your thoughts now?” he asked.
I arched my back
a little, pushing my ass into the wooden seat. “My thoughts aren’t all that
different than they were before.” I wanted to see his expression, but my moving
could have messed up his work.
“You wouldn’t
tell me what they were before.”
I laughed. “I
still won’t.”
I felt the
change in the air as he approached me. I held in my breath, waiting to find out
why he had gotten so close.
“I realize you
can’t move your hands, but the sheet is sticking up in the back. Can I tuck it
in for you?”
My eyes held
his, and I nodded.
His shirt
brushed past my bare arm as he moved to my side, and then the small of my back.
Gently, he folded the sheet into me. His skin was as warm as mine.
“Anything else
you want while I’m up here?”
He was in front
of me again, his hands in his pockets. His stance wasn’t casual, and neither
was the look on his face.
I shook my head,
even though there were so many things I could have asked for…so many things I
wanted from him. But silence was the safest answer.
“Then hold
still,” he said, heading back to his canvas. “I need to finish the outline of
your body.”
He didn’t say
the word body any differently than
anyone else. It just sounded sexier coming out of Cameron’s lips.
