Talking Dirty With the Boss by Jackie Ashenden: Marisa Clair wants to get her artist dreams back on track after a life detour. That means no partying, no shopping...and definitely no men to distract her. Should be easy, but there's something about her hot and exceedingly uptight boss and she can't seem to stop herself from ruffling Mr. Tall, Dark and Irritating. Financial consultant Luke McNamara lives his life strictly by schedule – his OCD simply won't allow him to do anything else. And the very last thing he needs is a sassy blonde putting lipstick on his collar and messing with his routine. She annoys the hell out of him so why can't he stop thinking about the color of her panties...and how free he feels when he's with her? Marisa and Luke's plans to steer clear of one another are shot to hell after a hot office encounter. Now the two of them will have to learn to get along as they face a much more permanent reminder of their lack of self-control – a pregnancy.

He could have any woman he wanted. But for some reason, he wants me... When billionaire CEO Mack Hart demands I come to his office, I'm convinced it's because he's caught me on security camera taking photos of his files when I should have been cleaning. He's young and sexy, he has a doctorate in Computer Science Engineering, an IQ of 172, and a bank balance containing nine zeroes. Nine! I can't remember the last time mine wasn't in the red. His research is so important that his rival will pay big money for it, and I desperately need some of that cash. Terrified, I expect to find the police waiting there with handcuffs, ready to whisk me off to prison. Instead, the surprisingly young, gorgeous entrepreneur seems more interested in the piece of paper I accidentally dropped the night before. It contains a poem. A very explicit poem I wrote about my perfect fantasy man. I'm sure he thinks it's about him, which isn't surprising considering how accurately he fits the bill. Mortified, I explain that I write steamy romance, but that it's just a hobby, and I don't have much experience in the real world. I wait for him to show me the door. Instead, he asks me to be his date at a party that evening. He could easily have any woman he wanted. He says he finds me fascinating, but I think he just wants to see whether I can talk as dirty as my poem suggests. Embarrassed, I try to turn him down. But Mack Hart is a man used to getting his own way. If I give in and have a one-night stand with him, maybe then I'll be able to escape and forget how close I came to going to prison. I'm not agreeing because I want to sleep with the hot young billionaire. Honest. * This story contains: profanity that will be offensive to some; over-indulgence of alcohol; descriptions of obscene wealth, power, and beauty; and numerous detailed sensual situations. Just wait till book two... Contains no cheating, no cliffhangers, just a scorching romance and an HEA: -)

Now with a new chapter that focuses on what great bosses really do. Dr. Sutton reveals new insights that he's learned since the writing of Good Boss, Bad Boss. Sutton adds revelatory thoughts about such legendary bosses as Ed Catmull, Steve Jobs, A.G. Lafley, and many more, and how you can implement their techniques. If you are a boss who wants to do great work, what can you do about it? Good Boss, Bad Boss is devoted to answering that question. Stanford Professor Robert Sutton weaves together the best psychological and management research with compelling stories and cases to reveal the mindset and moves of the best (and worst) bosses. This book was inspired by the deluge of emails, research, phone calls, and conversations that Dr. Sutton experienced after publishing his blockbuster bestseller The No Asshole Rule. He realized that most of these stories and studies swirled around a central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS. These heart-breaking, inspiring, and sometimes funny stories taught Sutton that most bosses - and their followers - wanted a lot more than just a jerk-free workplace. They aspired to become (or work for) an all-around great boss, somebody with the skill and grit to inspire superior work, commitment, and dignity among their charges. As Dr. Sutton digs into the nitty-gritty of what the best (and worst) bosses do, a theme runs throughout Good Boss, Bad Boss - which brings together the diverse lessons and is a hallmark of great bosses: They work doggedly to "stay in tune" with how their followers (and superiors, peers, and customers too) react to what they say and do. The best bosses are acutely aware that their success depends on having the self-awareness to control their moods and moves, to accurately interpret their impact on others, and to make adjustments on the fly that continuously spark effort, dignity, and pride among their people.

I'm obsessed with my secretary. The way she walks. The way she looks at me. The way she says my name, especially when she says yes. Yes, Mr. Declan. I know better. I'm not just her boss, I'm the owner of the entire firm - and she's just barely out of college and out at her first job. Sweet. Inexperienced. Innocent. I don't just want Sloane. I want to own her, possess her, dominate her body and soul in every way I know how. Come hell or high water, I won't stop until she's mine. I've got a crush on my boss. I shouldn't. I know. I should find someone my own age to date, but I can't stop thinking about my dominant, commanding boss. Every time I walk into his office my knees turn to jelly. All I can think about is Mr. Declan bending me over his desk and taking me, making me his. I could get fired for this, but there's something in the way he looks at me, something in the way he speaks to me, something about him that makes me want to beg him for more. Please, Mr. Declan. Please. Boss Me Dirty is a very dirty standalone romance with tons of steam, an obsessed, dominant, alpha hero, a happily-ever-after ending and NO cheating!

I was slightly drunk, and I was frustrated. Mainly because I haven't had sex with someone in over a year. So I decided to slide into someone's DM's for fun. Only it wasn't fun, it was hot, sexy, and dirty. I didn't imagine this guy would be so good at dirty talking, he had an effect on me through the phone and I could only imagine what he'd do on person. I was having fun texting him one afternoon at work and when my boss called me to his office. I tried to look like I wasn't completely turned on. Until I noticed the massive bulge on his pants and our whole conversation on his phone screen. No, it can't be. I haven't been sexting my boss all this time. My sex on legs boss has a dirty mouth and huge dick. Oh, fuck me. Literally.

Three months ago, I was standing in the pouring rain, reading my best friend¿s sorry, but I can¿t make it text, looking for some way to salvage my birthday. And he was there. Nick. The tall, handsome stranger in a three piece suit. He offered me his coat. He invited me to his room. He possessed all of me: heart, body, soul, then, in the morning, he was gone.For three months, memories of him lingered in my mind. The earthy cologne. The rough brush of his stubble. The low, deep groan as he buried himself in me.For three months, my heart ached for another chance to whisper promises in his ears.Yesterday, I interviewed for an internship I need desperately.Today, my new boss called me into his office. And there was Nick, in his three piece suit.His dark eyes fixed on mine as he dragged out his words. ¿Ms. Wilder, is there anything you need?¿My dirty boss wants me. But he has rules about this kind of thing.I have to choose: the job that keeps me with my family or the man who holds the key to my heart.
