Give in to the sinfully hot final book in bestselling author JC Harroway’s The Pleasure Pact series… The truth is that the Pleasure Pact was my idea. Not because I thought my friends needed to get laid (they did) or because margaritas were involved (they were), but because I know who I want: Nick Rivers. My big, brooding, mouth-wateringly hot bodyguard. It’s been torture, the way he watches me with those brown eyes shuttered and locked down. And that hard, muscled body that shields me from harm with the promise of raw, masculine heat. All that control. All that restraint. And all I want to do is unleash it. Now we’re in Milan, and I’m doing everything I can to break Nick’s iron will. Because I know I can trust him. I know he’s safe. And I know the fact that my being Lady Brooke Madden—London socialite, supermodel, businesswoman and even the victim of tabloid scandal—means nothing to him. He sees me. I see him. And we both like to watch. But wanting him means surrendering… He wants to control everything. But Nick can’t control what’s happening between us…or what will happen when he shows me who he really is. Take control. Feel the rush. Explore your fantasies—Harlequin DARE publishes sexy romances featuring powerful alpha males and bold, fearless heroines exploring their deepest fantasies.
