The man she’s always hated may finally take her down
Tara Johnson's sacrifices are about to pay off: a senior executive at thirty-five at a Fortune 500 company, she's one of the two finalists in line for a Managing Director position. Unfortunately, her rival of fifteen years, the charming, infuriating Richard Boyd, is just as qualified, and unlike her, he's willing to cross pretty much every line to get what he wants.
Of all the things Tara stored in the attic to make it to the top, it's her personal life she misses
the most. That is, until she starts a steamy affair with sex god Aidan, her direct report. Interoffice relationships with a subordinate can mean the end of a career, and when Richard finds out,
it's the perfect opportunity to take his high-heeled nemesis out, especially since he's still nursing a grudge against Tara for rejecting him years ago.

I needed to regroup,
figure out what I really wanted. I wanted…something. But hooking up with a
random guy definitely wasn’t it.
A woman had other ways to
satisfy her sexual cravings. Mine came in trendy silver, with an electronically
operated, “modest-sized” device designed specifically for ”her” pleasure. It
was there for me when I needed it, it didn’t require any work on my part to get
it ready, and it didn’t ask to rank our latest adventure when we were
done. “Tara, sweetie, how was it? I feel like
this one was at least a solid eight.” My Adam & Eve had a bit more common sense than that.
Today, our ”date” started
just like it always did—a quick steamy shower to get my limbs soft and ready,
and a little spritz of perfume (hey, I knew my date wasn’t real, but I was
trying to get in the mood). I dropped onto my silk, thousand-thread-count
sheets, and…nirvana.
Only the ordeal didn’t go
according to my plan. The moment I closed my eyes, I saw Aidan’s face. Grinning
and looking at me with a devilish smile on his face. His arm with the snake
tattoo that went all the way up and around his bicep slid under my blouse and
reached for my breasts. Hang on a
minute. Why had
Aidan invaded my intimate session with my vibrator? Why did he think he was
welcome?
I needed a restart.
Some more perfume, extra
pillows behind my back.
There, much better.
Ahh, it felt so good.
Aidan, that time
bare-chested, showed me exactly where that tattoo disappeared. In the masculine
curve between his hard bicep and his shoulder blade.
Damn
it.
I wouldn’t be
masturbating to the image of Aidan stripping in front of me. He was exerting
himself for me at work, not for my climax. We might have shared burritos, but
it still didn’t give him the right to turn into my made-up, perfect man who
helped me release my tension at the end of a busy day.
Go away, Aidan.
Another attempt.
Total failure.
I was doing something
wrong here. As a method of last resort, I tried to bring up the images of a
real bad boy I’d met during my trip to Buenos Aires many years ago. Our one
real night was steamy, but it couldn’t be compared to the many fake ones when
I’d used those memories to help my battery-operated assistant.
Yet, no matter how hard I
tried to work my tricks, the images of a bad boy came with a sexy tattoo on his
arm, a set of mischievous dimples, and there was nothing remotely Hispanic in
those sexy blue eyes.
Fifteen minutes later,
orgasm-less and totally frustrated, I threw my vibrator aside and climbed under
the covers.
"everyday", strictly speaking, unless you count spying on a
charismatic hedge fund manager ordinary, or touring across Turkey on
a quest to figure out the puzzle in the will of a deceived Turkish
woman as something you'd normally do, or even battling it out on the
executive floor with a decades-long nemesis who happens to be
standing in your way of achieving your life's goals. One thing is
certain, though. Love will prevail (even if sometimes with the help
of steamy sex).
