Charlie Moore is sweet, shy, and utterly unprepared for the world he’s just stepped into. New city. New job. New life. He was hoping to fly under the radar—not catch the attention of Nathan Harts, the intimidating, sinfully dominant CEO with a voice that could ruin you and eyes that undress you. Charlie is innocent, awkward, and painfully submissive… and Nathan can smell it from across the room. One fall. One spilled coffee. One stuttering apology. That’s all it takes for Nathan to know—he wants him. Wants to own every blush, every nervous breath, every inch of Charlie’s soft, trembling body. But Nathan doesn’t do casual. And Charlie? He’s never even been kissed properly. What begins as teasing lunches and lingering glances spirals into a dark, magnetic pull—one Charlie can’t fight. And when Nathan offers him more than friendship, more than protection—when he offers him ownership—Charlie finds himself on the edge of something terrifying and beautiful. Obedience. Pleasure. Surrender. In a world of contracts, power, and control, Charlie is about to discover just how much he craves to be owned. But behind Nathan’s polished charm lies a possessive Dominant who doesn’t share, doesn’t play fair—and never, ever lets go. He’s the boss. He’s the predator. And now? Charlie’s his.
