Game designer Emily Bartwell is in hiding. Fleeing online trolls that ruined her career, marriage, and life-pretty much in that exact order-she's made a new life on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Yes, it's lonely, but she has her online community for company. And she has her work: Labyrinth, a wildly popular role-playing game, one she's created under the male alias, Phoenix.When sexy writer, Fox Mullins, rents the beach house next door, however, he entices Emily out of her isolation. Flirting, teasing, igniting desires she'd forgotten she had, Fox tempts Emily into playing games of a very different sort-ones where he makes the rules. Fox is delighted by his luck in discovering his gorgeous, single neighbor's simmeringly passionate nature under her oh-so-private exterior. Playing with her, pushing the lovely Emily's boundaries, gives him relief from the painstaking, frustrating task of tracking the brilliant gamer, Phoenix-and discovering his elusive prey's true identity. Exposing Phoenix will be the biggest scoop of his career as an undercover tech reporter.As Fox and Emily push the limits of intimacy, they discover that their fling is leading to something much deeper. They're both keeping secrets that could devastate the other, but which of them will win the game in the end?

Celestina Sala is so far underwater, she can't remember what it's like to breathe. Grief-stricken by her identical twin's death, parenting her orphaned nieces, abandoned by the husband who never wanted to raise children, in debt past her eyeballs, and now just one more laid-off landscape-designer in drought-stricken Los Angeles-it's all Celestina can do to get through the day. Running into her former wealthy-and devastatingly attractive-client, Ryan Black, when she looks and feels her worst is just the cherry on the crap sundae her life has become.When Ryan offers Celestina a way to pay off her debt, by submitting to whatever he asks of her, she's appalled. And tempted.His colleagues and competitors describe Ryan as ruthless in business. It's true. And that no-holds-barred attitude is how he built himself from less than nothing to the immense wealth he enjoys today. So, when he has the opportunity to finally get his hands on Celestina's voluptuous body, Ryan employs every enticement at his disposal. He's wanted her for years-and respected the fact that she wasn't available-and now that she's practically dropped into his lap, he's taking advantage of the opportunity. He'll play fair, however, offering her a contract where she can choose, down to the tiniest details, what she's willing to let him do to her, for what price.He plans to pay very well to be able to indulge his darkest desires with her.

Amber Dolors has it bad for her boss. Tall, dark, and smexy, the man has a way of giving orders that… Well, she just melts inside. Even though he's older and getting involved at work isn't smart, especially in her very first job, Amber can't help fantasizing about the delicious Alec, with his English accent and commanding ways. What if he's the one she's been looking for, the man who can initiate her into those dreamy, sensual games she's only read about?Alexander Knight has obviously noticed his hot young assistant. Amber is as adorably nubile as she is whip-smart. But he hasn't risen to the peak of his profession by indulging himself. Integrity and self-discipline are what he lives by-and those don't allow for seducing a sweet, young co-worker who's likely far too innocent for him. Still, he can't help fantasizing about what he'd do to her, especially when she bends over his desk just so…When the simmering, repressed passion between Amber and Alec breaks free, they're both caught up in the tide of longing-and in sating their fierce desires. But they can't forget that they're engaged in a dangerous dance, one that can't be kept secret forever.
