S&M

Two stories about Mariana Harlow and her wealthy employer, Scott Reed, are gathered into one volume. Mariana, a housemaid, stumbles on a secret about Scott while tidying his home. When he catches her prying, he hands down a punishment that draws her into the world of BDSM. The second part finds Scott aiming to turn her mouthy, spendthrift ways into the devoted submission he wants, a project that proves harder than he expected. Their arrangement suits them both until feelings begin to run deeper than either planned. Scott must work through his past before he can trust her, and Mariana must learn whether her temper can be reined in enough to accept discipline.
