When Emily Miller lands a prestigious internship at a hedge fund, she can’t believe her luck.

However, Alpha Investments Ltd isn’t just any hedge fund – it’s owned by thirty-three year-old investor, Nathaniel Steele. Nate is known for his business acumen, and for his glamorous lifestyle.

The powerful billionaire could have any woman in the world, and Emily can’t imagine him taking much notice of her. However, that all changes when Nate invites her up to his secluded private office…

Emily is torn between her longing for Nate and her fear of getting hurt. Nate requires Emily to submit to him completely, and is surprised to find that she is more than a match for him in a battle of wits and will.

Extract:

Nate’s eyes narrowed and Emily felt herself growing pale.

“I asked you not to call me sir,” he said darkly, and Emily stared at the tips of her shoes.

“I’m sorry, I – it won’t happen again.”

“Are you sure?” Nate’s body was radiating anger. “Because I feel like you’re just pushing me. You know what you’re doing, and you want me to punish you.”

Emily blushed. Hearing him talk about punishment was turning her on, and she felt her panties grow moist. But that wouldn’t do – she needed him to be happy about her work.

“I’m sorry sir,” she said, “I ju– ”

“There you again.”

Emily glanced up, mortified. She must be tripping herself up subconsciously. But she had to admit, even his anger was attractive, and she loved seeing the way his eyes darkened. There was a hunger there, an intensity that scared her but left her wanting to see more.

Nate leaned against the desk and relaxed. Lowering his voice, he said, “Only call me ‘sir’ if you want me to strip off your clothes and punish you hard. Is that what you want?”

Emily glanced up, and then down again, unable to hold Nate’s glance. She couldn’t read his expression, and she didn’t understand the loud thumping in her chest.

Although she was fully dressed, she felt vulnerable and as though every part of her body was exposed for Nate. She felt her blush travelling downwards, and her nipples began hardening as she imagined what he could do to “punish” her.

She looked into Nate’s eyes again, and said softly, “No, sir.”

Losing Herself is a 20,000 word tale of lust, surrender, passion, and of course – overpowering love.

It is the first book of the Surrender series.
