He's a beautiful bastard, and he seems determined to make my life a living hell. I can't decide if I'd rather kick him in the dick or screw him, but I know what he wants to do to me. All of the deliciously sinful things that I crave.
We met by chance at a club, and the chemistry between us was undeniable. Then I started working for his mother, and he suddenly found me unworthy. Now he's doing everything in his power to make me quit or get fired. I'm not the kind of woman to let a man walk all over her, though.
He presses all of my buttons, both intimately and emotionally. I'm torn between the need to resist him and the desire to give into his demands. If I let him have his way, though, I'll lose everything.

Excerpt
I bend to climb into my car. Holden is on me in an instant, pulling me back and closing my car door. I'm so startled that I allow him to back me up against my car, to pin me there. Tears are gathering beneath the surface. I refuse to look at him, refuse to let him see that he's breaking me down.
“I can make you submit.” He reaches up a hand, and I flinch away, squeezing my eyes shut to keep the tears from spilling. The backs of his fingers whisper across my cheek. Then he cups my chin, tilting my face up.
“I hate you.” My voice is weak and pathetic.
“A lot of people hate me. But I still get what I want from them.”
Is that what is going to happen? The thought fills me with despair. He's already whittled me down so much.
My mind is going a million miles per hour. I'm trapped, suffocating, about to panic. I'm two seconds short of freaking out when I feel something that totally turns logic on its head.
Lips. His lips on mine. Kissing me. So hard.
I open my eyes and a muffled sound comes out, perhaps an objection. I can't really tell.
The kiss deepens. His tongue darts out to taste my mouth. And then the sick realization hits me that I like this. I like the feel of his mouth on mine. I like that he's holding me so tightly. I'm not supposed to. I'm supposed to loathe the very thought of him putting his hands on me, but I don't. Something inside of me has snapped—the part that keeps me grounded. I don't know if I'm coming or going anymore. I don't know what's happening. All I do know is that he smells incredible and that his lips feel amazing pressed against mine.
Review
Piper is a young, unemployed accountant who recently moved back home to take care of her 2 step-brothers. She doesn't start out as a likable character, hating her brothers and resenting her responsibilities, and I plain didn't like her at all, it was a struggle to keep reading because I disliked her so much, but I was glad that I did. She's a submissive who looks for a Dom and physical pain to take away her emotional pain. Holden,is a Dom who gets off on control. Piper has taken the caretaker job for Ann, Holden's dying mother. He is adamantly opposed to her being anywhere near his mother. The lengths he goes to to remove her from his mother's life are horrible and unforgiveable, Holden is not likeable either to be honest.
The immersion into the world of BDSM is more realistic, than others I have read. Piper started out awful, but soon changed. She grew to love her brothers. However, the way she responded to Holden kept me from ever really liking her. It's one thing to let a man use you as long as you are getting what you need out of it, but to let him continuously destroy you emotionally, and Mentally and yet you keep going back for more, made it a painful read at times.
