A seductive affair is twisted by secrets in the latest Salon Games novel from the author of Over Exposed.
To the outside world, Dane Connelly is the playboy heir of a media mogul, his life a series of one-night stands with no commitments. Only in the Salon does he satisfy his darker urges with willing partners. Life was perfect…until his best friend fell in love. Now Dane knows exactly what he’s been missing—and exactly who he wants.
Talia Driscoll enjoys creating perfection. She loves bright, glittery parties and fairy tale weddings. But she knows the illusion is short-lived. Nothing lasts forever and everyone lies to get what they want. After all, she lies about her true identity every day.
After an explosive night at the Salon, Dane is determined to sway the reluctant Talia to be his completely. But the secrets that keep them apart are at odds with the erotic passion that draws them together…

Excerpt
“I’m fairly civilized on the outside,” he continued. “But
it’s a front most of the time. Your turn now. What do you see when you look at
me?”
Her pause lasted long enough that he thought she might not
answer.
Finally, she cocked her head to the side. “I see a man who
makes me want to break a few hard-and-fast rules I’ve set for myself.”
Sounded good so far. “And what are those?”
“I saw the hell my mom went through with my dad, and I
never want to have to deal with that. I’m not looking for a man to complete my
life. I never want to be one of those women whose lives revolve around men.”
He smiled at the thought of Talia ever blindly pursuing a
man at the cost of her business. “I don’t think you have to worry about that.
You’re too focused.”
Her answering smile made his cock twitch. “High praise
coming from you, I think.”
“Which doesn’t mean I don’t think you’re sexy as all hell.”
Rising up on her knees, she put her hands on his shoulders
and leaned down until her lips were only inches away from his. “I want you to
know I didn’t plan on this happening.”
“What? You weren’t planning on seducing me into your bed
tonight?”
“No. I might have been planning to seduce you into a bed at
Haven.. But I guess we’ll just have to make do with my plain old queen bed
tonight.”
Picking her up by her hips, he lifted her over him, her
knees falling on either side of his hips.
“I think I can manage to get over my disappointment. Now
kiss me, Tally.”
