Quit your hollering. You know it’s me.” The old hound’s incessant barking cut right through Brett Sinclair as he fumbled to get his key in the lock after drinking far too much yet again. It didn’t help that Biff was now fourteen years old and almost totally deaf, meaning that he was easily spooked. Back in the day, every other dog in the neighborhood had feared his faithful companion, but now, in the twilight of his life, Biff’s bark was definitely worse than his bite. Feeling the worse for wear, Brett finally pushed open the sturdy oak door to the ranch house to be greeted by his best friend. Despite the advancing years, Biff still found enough energy to jump up at him, his ragged tongue basting his neck with an enthusiasm that demonstrated how pleased he was to see his master again.  “Yeah, yeah,…

The opulent boardroom located on the forty-first floor of the Metropolis Building gave wonderful panoramic views of uptown Manhattan. Although she was tempted to walk across to the impressive bank of floor to ceiling windows and admire the city that never sleeps, professionalism dictated that she remain in her seat. Feeling the pressure mounting, she shuffled and adjusted her position several times, releasing a nervous cough as she did so. After taking a sip of coffee and then placing her cup back on its saucer, she then crossed and uncrossed her ankles in an attempt to make herself more comfortable. Surely he had to make an entrance soon? Even God himself didn’t keep people waiting this long.She figured she wasn’t alone with her thoughts, because three other employees of Buchanan Enterprises sat at the impressive mahogany boardroom table, too. All men,…

I can see from your expression that Jessica’s late again.”Cole grunted indignantly. “Huh, tell me about it, buddy. It’s the third time this week. The lady will get what’s coming to her though.” He tapped an index finger to his temple. “All her misdemeanors are stored in the memory banks of the computer I have right here.”Todd laughed. “I can see a certain pretty lady having a red face to match her red ass.”“You got it in one, pal. We’ve arranged a scene for tonight, so payback will come sooner than she thinks.”Todd placed a couple of clean tumblers on the shelf behind him, then tossed the glass cloth over his shoulder with a flourish. “All done.” He then leaned across the black granite bar, his forearms resting on the cold, shiny surface. “Say, exactly how long have…

You always do.” Melanie sounded confident, so why couldn’t she trust her best friend’s judgment?Sara Deveraux stared at her reflection in the flip-down mirror of the sun visor as she adjusted her makeup. She’d parked her car in the lot opposite the club, and they’d been waiting for the last ten minutes, while she tried to pull herself together. What the hell is the matter with me? On several occasions she’d been to Club Submission, but each time, just before she went in, she’d become increasingly anxious. She ran her fingers nervously through her hair, making sure the gold clasp holding her sky-high ponytail was firmly secured, and her makeup correctly applied. When she was completely satisfied with her appearance, she ventured a smile. Her transformation was dramatic. Sara was the last person anyone would suspect of visiting a BDSM club. Her usual attire consisted of plain, calf-length skirts and high-neck…

However, bubbling curiosity had tempted her to return to the agency ad and study it in more detail. It was the sheer simplicity and the economical use of words that had drawn her back. International businessman requires an executive personal assistant.The successful applicant will hold the necessary qualifications needed for this challenging role. Live-in position near Colorado Springs. Must be willing to travel.A live-in position in a beautiful part of the country seemed too good to be true, and she wondered if the whole thing was a scam. After all, there were plenty of those on the Internet just waiting to catch out the unwary and the unworldly, but the agency offering the vacancy seemed legit and above board, and there was no mention of any up-front fees. So, without too much expectation, she e-mailed her CV. The very next day…

KAINE’S REDEMPTION The Billionaires and Their Playgrounds # 1 JAN BOWLES Copyright © 2013 Chapter One Jessica neatly folded bubble wrap around the final canvas before sighing loudly. To say that things hadn’t gone as she’d hoped was an understatement. The seven-day exhibition of her paintings in Mayfair, Central London, was finally over, and had proved an unprecedented disaster.  In order to promote her work, and make a name for herself in the art world, she’d used her life savings of almost ten thousand pounds to rent the swish, modern premises. She’d traveled all the way from her home in Cornwall, in a borrowed van held together by rust, with what she considered to be her fifty finest paintings. As she gathered the unsold artwork together, a nagging headache threatened and she couldn’t stop herself from bursting into tears. She’d been a fool to believe she could make a living as an artist. Everyone had told her that. Her family, her friends, everyone. Why the hell hadn’t she listened? She was a twenty-nine-year-old woman. Had she learned nothing in her time on this earth? If she had, perhaps she wouldn’t have thrown away ten grand on a whim she could…

It pleased him that the Corinthian Hotel employed bellhops of both sexes. He much preferred the female variety, especially as it gave him the opportunity to check out a shapely ass. The five-star hotel in downtown Boston certainly lived up to the hype and had been open less than a year. Expensive Italian marble lined the walls and floors, giving the thoroughly modern building an air of old-world opulence. He just had time to breathe in her perfume before she stopped abruptly in the corridor. The pretty lady turned and smiled at him, showing her perfect white teeth. “This is your suite, Mr. Stone.” She deftly scanned the security key, and the door obediently clicked open a few inches. He followed her inside and glanced, uninterested, at the tastefully decorated interior. In his line of work he…

A pair of huge bronze ravens guarded the impressive entrance to the club. According to the whispers circulating Boston, Club Submission was the place to come for all shades of kink. Beth took a lungful of the early-morning air, savoring the moment as the wind rustled pleasantly through her long, blonde hair. It had been a while since she’d last explored and enjoyed the fetish scene. Now, her self-appointed three-year exile was about to come to an end, albeit on a partial basis, because she was here in a strictly professional capacity. Three years ago, she could never have imagined wanting to return to the hedonistic delights of the BDSM world, but time was a great healer, and now the draw was proving too strong. When she’d heard of a vacancy for a bar attendant in the exclusive private club, she’d been unable to resist the lure. Truth be…

SEDUCED BY HER TEXAS BILLIONAIRE BOSS Guilty Pleasures 6 JAN BOWLES Copyright © 2012 Please note the prologue is not included in this free excerpt. Chapter One Frances Denning screwed the top on her fountain pen and placed it on the desk, then steepled her fingers together in contemplation. “So what other positive attributes do you think you could bring to Brannigan Enterprises, Tess?”The head of human resources arched a curious brow as she looked across the desk that separated them. About fifty years old and impeccably dressed in a dark gray business suit, Frances Denning had proved a formidable interviewer, or should that be inquisitor? In quick succession, she’d fired hard-to-answer questions at her for the last half hour. However, Tess now sensed a subtle change in Frances’s approach, and followed her lead by relaxing back in her chair, allowing her hands to rest peacefully on her lap. “Well, Mrs. Denning, as I’m sure you already know, I have four years’ experience working in a similar position for the food giant Aeries. I headed their public relations department for two of those four years. During my time there, I developed a good working relationship with the media.”Frances Denning muttered something…

Situated on the twenty-sixth floor of the McCloud Energy Building in Providence, Rhode Island, it boasted impressive views across the city. The inspiring sight from the huge bank of windows always delighted her as she moved further into the large purpose-built space. Her twelve executive board members were already there. They stood around talking and drinking coffee. They turned in her direction when she entered the room. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It’s a wonderful Rhode Island day out there.” “Morning, Ma’am,” they said as one, before taking their places at the table. As the CEO of McCloud Energy she demanded their respect. Kelly took her seat at the head of the large corporate table. A seemingly never-ending expanse of finest mahogany stretched down the middle of the room, and shone with a rich, deep luster. Pitchers of water were evenly spaced and interspersed with clusters of glasses. In the center lay an impressive display of red roses and delicate baby’s breath. For…
