Slipperless

Gabe Hawkins - my new boss. My charming, relentless, panty-melting, billionaire of a boss. He hired me because of my brains, but it wasn't long after coming to work for him that I realized he's interested in me for more than my intellect. And because of his pursuit, I now find myself in the midst of cat fights I didn't start, office backstabbing I can't seem to stop, and jealous innuendo from my female coworkers, the likes of which I've never encountered.

My new billionaire boss has literally turned my life upside-down in less than a month. What's worse is he appears to relish the fact. Not only is he incredibly good looking, in a panty-melting-book-boyfriend way, but he's worth more than most countries and has a reputation around the office as a lover of rock-star status. So why would he be interested in a curvy girl whose entire sexual existence was limited to an awkward, drunken screw in her sophomore year?

My grandmother's condition is worsening, and keeping this job has become critical. I may have no choice but to submit to Gabe's schedule...and his appetite. Worse yet, now that I've confirmed the rumors of his prowess, I find myself less interested in keeping things professional and more focused on satisfying the needs he's awakened within me. But to have any chance of keeping my job, I have to do something and soon. If I don't, the consequences could cost me everything. Can I resist my charming bastard of a boss? And more importantly, will he let me?

After defying Gabe, I experienced first-hand just what it means to be in trouble with the boss. I've learned, once and for all, he's a man who always gets what he wants - in every way he wants it. But satisfying him comes at a price.

After nearly losing Gabe, I've come to realize just how much he means to me. Yet even though I might want to confess my true feelings to him, doing so would leave me far too vulnerable at a time when I can least afford it.

Left without a job, without family, and without hope, I find myself near a complete breakdown. My future at Hawkins Biotech now seems impossible, one spent with Gabe even more so. Yet because of my crushing debt, I'm left with little choice but a wary acceptance of his offer to return. Not long after doing so, I discover that not only have things gotten worse with the Link Protocol, but Gabe had no intention of honoring the terms of our agreement. I should have known better.
