Bound by Pride — Sara R. Stewart

Business acquisition or BDSM takeover? Working in a male-dominated industry, Delia knows three things; she can sell anything, the only person she can count on is herself, and men are not to be trusted. John sees, acquires, and transforms companies. His legendary focus and control have made him rich while his ability to recognize and nurture talent routinely guarantees success. Promoting Delia based on merit is the right thing to do, even if he'd prefer her bound and kneeling at his feet. After finally being recognized for her hard work and effort, Delia wonders if this new boss is different from the men she's known. Will these two end up in a mutually beneficial merger, or are they looking at a hostile takeover?
