Rope Burn

She wants to turn up the heat. He's got the skills to whip her into a frenzy.

TV food show host Tabbart Tracy works hard to give viewers her best recipes. But while her fans are legion, her personal life is colder than a meat locker. Most men just want her to serve up some pie - in the nude.

One glance at her assistant's sexy brother, though, and her body skips straight from low simmer to rolling boil. Especially when she tracks him down at a stud ranch. Where he's the stud.

When a certain little TV foodie personally requests Stowe's company for a week, he's flattered as hell. She needs to give up some control, and as a sex therapist otherwise known as the "Dom from Down Under", Stowe has the leather, rope, and paddles to do it.

Just as Tabbart melts into a puddle under Stowe's hands, her worst fear chills her back to reality: Someone recognizes her. Worse, her Master frowns on opening her checkbook to make it all go away. But trusting him means hanging on to their connection with both hands - while he takes her for the ride of her life.

Warning: This book contains a TV chef looking for some R&R (as in rough and raunchy) and a whip-wielding Aussie cowboy Dom intent on showing her she can take the heat. As hot as - and anywhere - she wants it.
