Valentino (Tino) Santini works for the Wolfen company and while everyone in the company was able to leave early because of Thanksgiving Tino’s boss insisted on a report being done so he had to work late.
Renovations were going on and finally able to leave he pressed for the elevator and found himself face to face with the CEO, Richard Mason. Richard had a violent past and a vicious temper, so Tino was scared and when the elevator stopped, and the lights went off he couldn’t stop shaking.
Stuck with Richard in a dark elevator Tino was surprised when Richard knew who he was and before long the two men were naked and, on the floor, having sex. All night they were waiting for help and when it finally arrived Richard turned to Tino and said that would never happen again. All Tino could think about was being fired, sex in a dark elevator with the CEO of the company did not look good for his future but what was done is done.
When Tino arrived at work on Monday he was told that the CEO wanted to see him, and he was convinced this was his last day at Wolfen, but he was so wrong. Richard made Tino his PA and now he was making an impressive salary, an office and trying to figure out why he was promoted and what his duties were going to be. Is he Richard’s new in office sex toy which wouldn’t bother Tino since sex with him was off the charts, but it would be degrading despite enjoyable.
Working for Richard is not an easy job, he is moody, demanding and at times nasty but Tino stands up for himself and begins to earn Richard’s respect. Richard can’t seem to live up to his remark when he exited the elevator, that this will never happen again, which it does numerous times. Tino is not just a PA at times he is a babysitter, keeping Richard from doing anything that will compromise him which is not easy.
Tino hears the name Pagan while he and Richard are having sex so Tino investigates who this person is and what he learns is both a shock and surprise. That is a story I won’t reveal but it gives a whole new look at the real Richard Mason, and it isn’t pretty. Tino also learns about Frank Mancini aka Richard Mason another story I won’t reveal and another story that isn’t pretty. Who is Richard Mason?
When Richard is in the middle of negotiations to purchase a business, he has no idea the danger he will be putting himself and Tino in. This negotiation will have far reaching ramifications that no one could have foreseen but was dangerous and enlightening. This purchase of a company Richard wants is only the tip of the iceberg because a personal situation will also have serious consequences.
This book is filled with sex, I won’t say romance because that is not in Richard’s vocabulary, but suspense, lies, surprises and two amazing characters, and did I mention sex lol. Although this is the first book in the series it is not a cliffhanger and I look forward to following Richard and Tino’s story.
