Purely Professional

Columnist Bridget Hartwell agrees to write about BDSM to impress her new executive editor at Sultry, the “sex-positive magazine for sex-positive women.” Unfortunately, it's a topic she knows absolutely nothing about . . . but if she ever wants that promotion, she'll need to learn the ropes, fast.

English professor Max Harlow is active in the Dom/sub scene, but only for casual play. He's never found his ideal partner: a woman who is his equal, but sexually submissive. When he's asked to explain the lifestyle to his cute but obviously inexperienced neighbor, Max is certain it's best to approach it academically—to keep things purely professional.

Until Bridget's first article is a huge hit, giving her the perfect excuse to delve deeper into the naturally submissive side of her sexuality. As their encounters intensify and each of her boundaries is skillfully pushed, Bridget must decide what this all means . . . for her identity, her career and, most importantly, her future with Max.

“Pretty fantastic . . . It’s legit and it’s real and it’s very obviously trying to correct the misconceptions of BDSM put out there by 50 Shades. For which it gets all the stars.” —Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

“This book comes like a breath of fresh air from a debut author about a woman’s journey into finding the true sexual woman she’s born to be.” —The Good, the Bad and the Unread
