Play Thing

From bestselling author Nicola Marsh comes book three in the Hot Sydney Nights series! Charlotte Baxter always plays it safe-but a sizzling encounter with a mysterious stranger might just change her cautious ways… I always preferred the romantic heroes in my books to the real-life creeps in bars and on dating apps. Steamy affairs were things that happened to other people, not boring accountants like me-until I met him. I was helping at my aunt's sex-toy business and tried on some kinky lingerie in a moment of daring. That's when he came in. I was horrified, but the lust in his eyes sparked a burning desire I'd never felt before. One thing led to another, and soon we were getting very raunchy in the warehouse, doing things I'd only fantasized about. Imagine my horror when I arrived at work the next morning to discover my mysterious stranger was none other than my detestable new boss, Alexander Bronson, who was taking a rare break from traveling to check on the office. He's the last man I'd usually go for-a power-hungry, jet-setting playboy with no taste for the quiet life-but I can't stop thinking about that thrilling encounter. Despite his teasing at work, he's made it clear he wants more. I'm torn. This feels too impulsive, too racy. It's just a game to him, but perhaps a bad boy is exactly the kind of man I need to get over-and under-before I settle down…
