Balance of Power

Creating our fantasy jars filled with love notes of our secret desires was a way to revive the monotonous routine that had become our marriage. But pulling that little piece of paper with my husband's most desired secret was a shock I wasn’t prepared for.

It was supposed to be one night with one incredibly handsome stranger. A night of giving into temptation and forgetting all my inhibitions. Instead, it ends with wedding vows and promises of “I do”. But it turns out, this is exactly what we need for the sake of both our blooming careers. Especially after my new boss tasks me with the opening of a hot new lifestyle club. Hudson needs me to wear the title of wife for the benefit of his career, and I need him to teach me the lifestyle to solidify mine. Adding sex lessons to our agreement surely won’t complicate things, right?

I thought I’d never see her again. Ten years ago, we spent two weeks together. Fourteen inseparable days, just for her to disappear like she never existed. Now she’s here, in the last place I expected, sneaking around the lifestyle club where I run security. But before I can confront her to demand answers, she runs. So what would any military trained, ex-Navy SEAL do when he’s determined to get what he wants? Anything. Including buying the house next door to her.

To my close friends and family I’m wild and crazy one-date Dane. To the world, I’m Dane Campbell, the bachelor with the genius level IQ whose name sits somewhere on the Top 100 Wealthiest People in the World list. Me? I’d like to think of myself as fluid, in both my lifestyle and sexuality. Which is why I spend my time backpacking through different countries exploring the world. The best part: meeting strangers, traveling together for a few days, then going our separate ways. This affords me the minimalist lifestyle I desire with the anonymity I need.
