Nadia Fleming has always had a bit of a “thing” for her neighbor, Alex Johnson, even though she knows they couldn't be more wrong for each other. Alex is a professor of romantic literature at the local college, while Nadia barely completed her GED, for heaven's sake! Resigning herself to remaining just friends doesn't kill her crush, though, and it just gets worse when she inadvertently opens a package of sex toys destined for his address.
Alex is beyond relieved when his secret life as a Dom is exposed to Nadia. He's been lusting after his neighbor and best friend forever, and he knows if she'll just believe in him -- and in herself -- they could have something really special together. Maybe now, by tying her up, he can release the bonds around her heart and teach her that love isn't always where we expect it.
