Austin, Texas – Present Day

Five years ago, Maya Richardson had a blistering one-night stand with her then boss, wealthy businessman Ayden Stewart. After he told her the next day that there could be nothing romantically between them, she quit her job and moved away. Now Maya is back in Austin for her niece's baptism and Ayden tracks her down at the church asking her to return to him…as his secretary again. She'd just found out her mother has cancer and needs expensive treatment. Needing the money to help her mother, Maya agrees. Will the sizzling chemistry between her and Ayden reignite?

With an important project on the table, Ayden needs a topnotch secretary as his assistant, but his current one is leaving. So, when he learns that Maya is in town, he doesn't hesitate to go to her and ask her to come back. He realizes that bedding her five years ago was a mistake, but deep down he hopes to repeat it again…because he is really attracted to her. But Ayden has to tread carefully, or he could make the same mistake he did before: not realizing that Maya is in love with him. Will he break her heart again?

Ayden still hurts from being abandoned by his father for a new family when he was a child, and it has turned him against ever wanting to love someone again. When Maya walked into his life ten years ago as his secretary, he came to rely heavily on her. He couldn't see the signs that she was attracted to him. She finally started dating another man, but her heart was broken when that man slept with her sister and she turned to Ayden for comfort. This led to their one-night stand. Now her sister is married to the scoundrel and Maya has decided to start forgiving them by attending their daughter's baptism. But Maya never expected to be confronted by the only man who ever really had her heart: Ayden.

In AT THE CEO'S PLEASURE, Maya tries to keep things between herself and Ayden businesslike, but the man is too attractive to ignore when every time she's around him it sets off little flutters in her heart. Soon, the desire can't be denied and they're making passionate love. However, Ayden still won't declare his love for Maya, and she fears that she will soon have to walk away, her heart in shatters once more. Ayden doesn't trust love, but can Maya make him change his mind?

The chemistry between Maya and Ayden sizzles and burns the pages of AT THE CEO'S PLEASURE. Their affair is passionate, and readers will be rooting for them to find their way to a happily-ever-after. Don't miss this compelling tale.
