The company she and her best friend had built from the ground up for the past six years was about to dissolve, and she had no job lined up after business school and a mountain of debt waiting. That was until she was given one last opportunity to pitch Closet Connections to one of the most successful companies in country, Apex Investing. Chloe found herself sitting across from the handsome, domineering Sebastian Avery, one third of Apex’s partnership team. Sebastian Avery liked control and ran his company, and his submissives, with a firm hand. His seductive contract left Chloe both indecisive and surprisingly attracted to his controlling nature.

Katherine Wentworth is struggling. Her company, Closet Connections, is underperforming largely due to her inexperience; and her personal life is a series of meaningless hookups and missing out on her best friend’s needs.

Her company, Closet Connections, is underperforming largely due to her inexperience; and her personal life is a series of meaningless hookups and missing out on her best friend’s needs. Now Closet Connections success is dependent on her ability to navigate the financial strains of a series of recent losses; and that, combined with the shame of not being there for her best friend, has her ready to buckle down and get serious.

Swallowing her pride she reaches out to him for help, but does she have what it takes to handle Jess Masterson’s personal version of ‘help’? less

Madison Avery was tired of being alone and ignored. She’d done everything her family asked of her and she was still being pushed at men by her parents and marginalized at work by her brother and his friends.

So, she left Apex Investing, joining her friends Chloe and Kat as the newest partner at Closet Connections to lead their marketing and growth. But work was quickly piling up, largely due to her successes, and it threatened to overwhelm her and hamper Closet Connection’s future. It was clear she needed the help of the one man she’d spent the majority of her adult life trying to avoid, Nicolas James.
