Manhandled — Jianne Carlo

Rolan Paxton, the Boston Buffalos' celebrated wide receiver, dominates the football world for twelve years. Fame and fortune fall into his lap. He rides the rainbow, collecting championship game wins and women. Disillusioned, unable to pinpoint exactly what's missing, he runs into Sarita Khan, the nose-in-a-book classmate whose virginity he claimed on prom night twelve years earlier. Sarita never thought she'd see Rolan again. Notre Dame recruited him two days after prom, two days after he took her virginity. What were the odds of her son's father chartering the luxury yacht she's crewing for twelve years later? And that he still makes her burn like he did on prom night? Sarita wants Rolan, but she wants her independence, too. Rolan's a control freak bent on domination. Determined to master Sarita, Rolan slaps on the manaclesand turns this trip to Monaco into a pleasure cruise. This book was originally released as Manacled in June of 2008, and has been substantially updated and reedited for this edition.
