Hard as Stone

FROM EXCITING ROMANCE AUTHOR C. TYLER

From the Naughty or Nice? collection

Blackmail only works if you can stay in control, and Alice has no intention of relinquishing that to someone like him.

Bullied into spending Christmas with some family friends, Alice Stone does her best to cope until the bane of her youth finds out about her dark little secret.

Asher Montgomery, an arrogant playboy who does whatever he wants, decides to make his trip home for the holidays worth the trouble. While searching for some blackmail material to use on his family, he comes across something particularly juicy. With proof of Perfect Little Alice’s secret life, Asher has every intention of making a game of it, but he never dreamed that she would fight back.

Neither expects the trip to suddenly devolve into a whirlwind of sex, seduction and secrets. For three days, Asher and Alice dance with each other, determined to gain dominance of their situation and find out who will be on top—literally.

But long-standing perceptions begin to change and feelings develop, whether they’re ready for them or not.
