STACEY KENNEDY is the USA Today bestselling author of the Club Sin series. She writes deeply emotional romances about powerful men and the wild women who tame them. When she’s not plugging away at a new story, she’s either hiking, canoeing, relaxing around a campfire, or obsessing over Penny Dreadful, Game of Thrones, or Outlander. Stacey lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband (who puts any of the heroes in her books to shame), their two young children, and her third baby: a mini labradoodle named Jax.

Chapter 1
Allie
I never understood sexual chemistry.
Not truly.
But I sure got a taste of it when the San Francisco real estate mogul Micah Holt walked into our rectangular third-floor meeting room at Richardson Real Estate. Located in Union Square above an art gallery, our office needed a renovation to fix the white paint peeling around the window frames, the worn hardwood floors, and the stale smell that never went away.
Today, with Micah in attendance, the office seemed even more outdated.
Enigmatic and gorgeous, Micah looked more like a fitness model than a businessman. He had stylish, short jet-black hair, a crooked nose giving him a bit of character, defined cheekbones highlighting the hard lines of his face, and an athletic squared jaw. The black tailored suit covering his six-foot-two, strong, solid body seemed to scream rip me off!
I sat next to my assistant, Liv Sloan, on the left side of the conference table, unable to take my eyes off him. He stood silently by the floor-to-ceiling windows, exuding authority and lust, while the rest of the Richardson staff assembled for the surprise Monday morning meeting.
God, I could only imagine the feeling of having his immense power flowing sensually over me. I knew my reaction was physical, not logical. It didn’t matter. I wanted to fuck him.
When my ogling caught his attention, he glanced over his shoulder, his bluish gray eyes burning into mine, holding me captive. Heat trickled through my veins, lingering low in my body, daring me to go after him. He carried a self-assurance that I’d never seen before i
n a thirty-five-year-old man. Yet somehow the strength he projected seemed haunted—tainted, somehow. Untouchable, even.
But maybe I was searching for a flaw in a man who appeared to lack one. Whatever special thing men had that called to women, this man had it in spades.
