‘Tis the season... to spend in the Greek’s bed!

Ulysses. CFO Katla Sigurdsdottir fascinates me. She’s all fire behind a cool, calm shield. I have to have her. At her company’s Christmas Eve party, I’ve delivered her an ultimatum: spend six months with me or I’ll stage a ruthless takeover of her business.

Katla. With Ulysses Zakynthos, I feel things I’ve never felt before. Not even with the ex who betrayed and manipulated me. Even contemplating Ulysses’s demand unleashes a reckless raw need in me. And once I accept my fate — and desire — I know there’ll be no going back...

About the Author

Jackie writes dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines. She lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband and two kids. When she's not torturing alpha males and their gutsy heroines, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, wasting time on social media, or being forced to go mountain biking with her husband.
