As a pleasure concierge at The River, New York City's elite, water-themed adult club, I thought I'd seen it all. Until I find my new boss in my private lagoon, ready to submit.

Publishing mogul Elinora Iverson is an ice queen, and the billionaire divorcee rules her empire with an iron fist. No one dares to challenge her - until she offers me a temporary position with her company's romance imprint, and we lock horns on my very first day.

I don't know anything about meet cutes or falling in love. "Happy endings" and pleasure? Well, that's a totally different story. One I'm more than qualified to edit since I moonlight at The River. With my experience bringing beautiful women to a boil, steamy books prove no match for me. Elinora, on the other hand . . .

Determined to prove myself, I work long hours at the office, hoping she'll see me as a worthy employee. No matter how hard we try to avoid it, sparks fly whenever we're in the same room. Mercury really rises when the club hosts a masquerade party, and my two worlds collide.

Elinora doesn't know I'm the stranger behind the mask. Or that I've fantasized about her since the moment we met. The line between reality and fantasy blurs when she calls out my name in the darkness. As we melt into each other, she makes it clear she doesn't want to share me.

There's only one problem: I'm bound to another woman.

When you make a deal with the Devil herself, the Devil's in the details.
