Strapped

BLURB:
By
all appearances, Shyla Ball has an enviable life: a loyal boyfriend, a great
job, and family that loves her. She doesn't realize how deeply unsatisfied she
is until she has an embarrassing encounter with a handsome stranger at a coffee
shop.
Taylor
Holden, a successful businessman, takes a sudden special interest in her and
offers her a job she cannot refuse. Soon after, she learns there is much more
to this intensely private man than meets the eye. He is hiding many painful
secrets, including why it is that he has seemingly plucked her out of obscurity
for such a lucrative position. Her "perfect" world is turned upside
down by her infatuation towards Taylor and in just a couple of months, her life
looks nothing like it did before. While she is frightened by the changes she
sees in herself, she cannot resist the lure of Taylor Holden.
As
Shyla slowly gains Taylor's trust, she learns of his complex history and how it
has molded him into the person he has become. When elements of Taylor's secret
past resurface and threaten to destroy them, Shyla finds out there may be more
to Taylor's story than even he is aware of.
Strapped
is a story of passion, manipulation, obsession, and family secrets.

Excerpt
Three:
There is a knock on the door. I put on a plush robe and let
in the server. He rolls in a table full of dishes of various sizes covered with
stainless steel domes. When the server leaves, I begin lifting the lids, each
one feels like a little present. Champagne and strawberries, a plate of
asparagus, such a curious shape asparagus has, chocolate truffles, chocolate
dipped banana and chocolate covered cherries. The largest platter, I save for
last. It is a huge steak, with a knife stuck in it and pinkish juices pooling
around the meat. The carnal spread feels like a gastronomical form of foreplay.
I have lost some weight due to my new busy schedule so I welcome the
indulgence. The first bite of steak melts in my mouth and I let out a moan to
express its deliciousness. I sample everything on the table; all the
contrasting flavors explode in my mouth. The sweet and sour strawberries make
me think of him that first morning, shirtless and sweaty, pursing his lips
around the red fruit. The sweet bubbles of the champagne tickle my throat. It’s
not long before I am full, and I sit there with a smile on my face, beyond
satisfied.
