5 STARS!
Really enjoyed this book! You have to be okay with BDSM or you won’t like it … as long as you are, it’s sexy hot!
Jack Archer is a Harvard Law Professor. He lost his wife to cancer a year ago and is still mourning her heavily. He works alot and then goes home to an empty house. He misses their times in the basement playroom more than he can say.
Lilly Sterling is a paralegal in a law firm. She should have been a full fledged lawyer herself by now, but life got in the way of her taking the bar exam and now she’s not sure if she wants to do it anymore. She’s feeling pretty traumatized from a past relationship and trying to heal from that.
Both Jack and Lilly are drug out to a bar with family and friends one night, and meet through them. Lilly’s brother Nick played football in college with Jack’s brother Brady and remain good friends. The moment Jack lays eyes on Lilly he’s intrigued and feels the first tug of attraction that he’s felt since his wife died. Lilly feels a draw to him too.
As they spend time together a few times in the group, Jack realizes Lilly is a submissive, and it brings the Dom in him to life. They agree to make up a contract to play together short term. He wants to show her how a true Dom treats his lady, and she wants to help ease him back into the world of the living.
Will they walk away when their contract is over or will they decide they want more?

His Contract

BLURB
Lawyers know when to play by the rules…and when to break them.
Harvard law professor Jack Archer once balanced his professional life with the private world of dominance, surrender, and trust he shared with his wife. Since cancer stole her a year ago, finding love again—her final wish for him—is the furthest thing from his mind. From his empty house to the classroom, grief follows his every move. Until he meets a young woman with shadows in her eyes even darker than his own.
Once a shining star at law school, Lilly Sterling’s dreams died when the Dom she trusted left her heartbroken and lost. She’s starting fresh in a new city as a paralegal, but meeting Jack reawakens all her old demons—and her lingering desires.
Jack offers to become Lilly’s mentor for both the courtroom and the playroom, but tells himself it’s not a relationship. Their carefully worded contract guarantees that. But when their trial agreement starts heating up, both Jack and Lilly must decide what will tip the scales: the letter of the law…or love?
Warning: All rise for a book that contains a wounded submissive and a Dominant who wants to retrain her while retaining control of his heart. Discovery phase may involve spankings, bondage, edging, and blindfolds. Is it hot? You be the judge.
EXCERPT
Jack closed his front door and leaned against it, as if doing so could shut out what he’d felt tonight. As if it could shut Lilly out. He’d wanted to murder Patrick for leaving him alone with her, and yet, during that short time, he’d forgotten how for the last year it had hurt to do anything more than breathe.
Hearing she was at least older than Josh was a small comfort. His age, however, seemed of no consequence. He’d thought she hadn’t read anything into the question, that the attraction that was driving him out of his mind was all one-sided, but Lilly’s blush said otherwise. As did the quick pass of her soft, pink tongue over gorgeously full lips.
Jack groaned and scrubbed his hands over his face, then looked at his scar. He could only imagine what Lilly would think if she knew where it came from, what kind of life he’d lived. The Dominant he once was.
He closed his eyes and saw Eve in their playroom, the two of them beginning their scene with practiced words.
“You are mine, love.”
“I am yours, always, Master.”
Grief shouted from the past. But the image was quickly replaced with one of Lilly looking up at him in the bar. How would she react if he ordered her to strip for him? Would all of her skin bloom with the rosy hues he’d seen on her cheeks? Jack’s mind traveled to a place where he had her bound and naked, telling her to bare everything to him—body, mind and soul.
Realizing where his thoughts had strayed, he tried to shut the fantasy down but it was too late. Lilly had flipped a switch in him, waking the part that had been buried under the ashes of Eve’s death. And now that he’d opened that door, he didn’t know how to close it again.
