Since I saw you
by Beth Kery
"When enigmatic billionaire Ian Noble sets Lin the task of "taming" his brilliant yet half-savage brother Kam Reardon, she eagerly accepts. She's more than curious about the solitary genius and everything she's heard about him. During their electric first meeting, her fascination increases a hundredfold. Kam practically oozes raw sex appeal. Lin is interested...very interested. But does her intense attraction and willingness to go places with him she's never gone before in the bedroom really have to do with Kam? Or is her carefully hidden desire to blame for wanting a man she knows she can never have? An elusive outsider, Kam avoids intimacy, yet never shies away from satisfying his erotic appetites. But there's something different about Lin--a reserve he's anxious to break. She's a woman he's eager to take his time with...and possess completely. A sophisticated beauty like her would never want him anywhere but in bed, but he finds himself unable to resist her. Immediately Lin's smooth facade is undone by Kam's overwhelming masculinity and by his irresistible erotic demands--a lesson in subjugation that leaves Lin confused, reeling, and open to things she never thought possible. Now, as the unpredictable nights between them grow darker, Lin and Kam are certain of only one thing: they're made for each other"
