LOGIN3.5 Stories in one. She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith—the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room—Manhattan's most exclusive masked club—she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."
View MoreEpilogue: Daniel & EmmaEmma stood in the backyard of her parents' house, watching chaos unfold with the kind of bemused affection only a mother of three and a big family could manage.Three.She still couldn't quite believe it sometimes. Five years ago, she'd married Daniel, told him about their first baby on their wedding night. Now they had Charlotte, who was four and a half, the twins Sara and Bryson, who'd just turned two, and Emma's hands were perpetually full.Charlotte was currently attempting to organize the other children into some kind of game that involved a lot of running and screaming. She'd inherited Daniel's leadership qualities and stubborn streak. A dangerous combination."Lottie, not so rough!" Emma called out as her daughter nearly bowled over Honey and Grayson's son, Henry."Sorry!" Charlotte didn't sound sorry at all. She just grabbed Henry’s hand and pulled him along.Emma shook her head, smiling. Today was the annual summer barbecue at the Taylor house. Everyon
She blew Wyatt a kiss, then turned back to the set. The makeup artist fixed the blood on her face, then she positioned herself for the next take. She caught sight of her reflection in a nearby monitor.She looked stronger and more confident than before. She hated what had happened to her, but maybe she had been the only one who could have stopped that serial killer. Maybe the universe had put her in Liam’s path to stop him, or he would have gone on killing.She was so different from the terrified woman who'd hidden in her apartment two years ago. Wyatt had still continued her training after Liam's death, to make sure she could take care of herself. It also helped with getting over killing someone.She was still healing. Some days were harder than others. Some nights, the nightmares came back. Some moments, she'd catch a glimpse of someone who looked like Liam and her breath would catch.But those moments were fewer now. Further between.And she had Wyatt. Had James. Had friends who lo
Epilogue: Wyatt & LaurenThe set was dead silent as Lauren finished her last roundhouse kick before the scene ended with her in a fighting stance, then crew members started shouting instructions, lights being repositioned with metallic clangs, cameras rolling on tracks like something out of a fever dream. Lauren stood in the center of it all, dressed in tactical gear that made her look like she could kick ass and take names, which, according to the script, was exactly what her character did."Lauren, darling!" The director, Glen Anderson, gestured wildly from behind the monitor. "That was perfection, but can we do it again? Do you think? This time, more fire in the eyes. You're not just angry… you're avenging every woman who's ever been underestimated." Glen was one of the good guys. It was rare, but true in his case. He worked with actors to get the most out of them, instead of shouting, which could make some actors freeze up. She had worked with Glen before."Got it." Lauren wiped t
Epilogue: Nate & PruePrue stood in the doorway of the nursery, watching Nate rock their eighteen-month-old daughter, Lily, to sleep. The soft glow from the lamp was the only light in the room. Nate sang something low and off-key that shouldn't have been soothing but somehow was. The man couldn't hold a tune."She's already asleep," Prue whispered, moving into the room. "Has been for the last five minutes.""I know." His voice was equally quiet. "I'm just... enjoying it."She understood. After everything they'd been through, after losing their first baby and spending years believing they might never have this, moments like these felt precious. Sacred, even.Nate carefully laid Lily in her crib, tucking the blanket around her small form. She barely stirred, her dark lashes resting against chubby cheeks, one tiny fist curled near her face.They stood there together, watching her breathe, the way new parents did even when their child wasn't so new anymore."Come on," Prue finally said, t
Grayson checked his watch for the third time in as many minutes, pacing the small café where he'd arranged to meet Morgan. He'd deliberately arrived early to secure a quiet corner table, away from potential eavesdroppers. The location was public enough to prevent a scene but private enough for the
Nate laughed. "No, I think we both know who'd win in that scenario. Between your father's connections and your own intelligence, I'd put my money on you." His expression softened. "Besides, I've seen how you look at him. You're not going anywhere. I'm happy for you both."No, she wasn't going anywh
Grayson pulled through the gates of the Johnson estate, following the circular drive that wound past manicured gardens and marble fountains. The security checkpoint had waved him through after confirming his identity, but not before he'd noted the additional personnel stationed around the property.
Friday, October 20th, 7:05 AMMorning light filtered through the curtains when Honey stirred from sleep. She stretched languidly before reaching for her phone on the nightstand, squinting at the screen's brightness.
