Blurb(s): Archer
Hehnier is a hard-core businessman through and through. He's not afraid to make
the merciless decisions, to put in the long hours, to lose himself in his work
for the greater good of his company and his clients…even if it means losing a
piece of himself in the process. But when does a man with a mind always turning
at two hundred rotations per second get his personal needs met?
Dalton is an uncompromising
businessman, who could, no doubt, go toe-to-toe with Archer in the boardroom—but
that's not the room Dalton wants to tackle Archer in.
With a little help from his
friends at the premier BDSM club, The Sanctuary, Dalton hopes to fulfill every
one of Archer's hidden needs.

Excerpt:
I watched him walk in exactly at seven. You could set your watch by him. I knew his routine—bar for a double scotch neat then a corner table for two, but only he would occupy it. As usual on Thursdays, he ordered the fisherman's catch: salmon, a spring salad with strawberries, and steamed baby veggies. The only starch he allowed to pass between those thin sharp lips tonight was a well-buttered roll, no potatoes for my man, and no alcohol with dinner either. He favored water with fresh squeezed lime and was very adamant with the server about the simple fact lemon was not a substitution.Even at this late hour and having put in a full day of numbers, his attire was never mussed—Armani was safe on his capable body. I couldn't wait for him to roll in here Friday. It was my favorite day to see him. He broke away from his favored charcoals and wore color. The third Friday of the month…hmm…oh yes, green. Love him in his deep green suit with the lighter shade silk shirt and tie.
I always found it amusing how everyone maneuvered around his table, purposely walking on the other side of tables out of their way. My man had an aura about him, sort of a "back the fuck off before I eradicate you with just my thoughts" type of thing going on. Of course he wouldn't curse. Foul language was beneath someone who could make a grown man cry with just a cock of the eyebrow.
Yes…Archer Hehnier was a badass in constant control of his surroundings. All of them. From the strangers that walked in and out of his life to the paid help at his overpriced house. I even suspected that he had a way of turning all the traffic lights green on his drive home, but hadn't been able to test that theory yet.
So why did I eat at this same restaurant practically every night and memorize his routine? Simple, he had something I wanted, and I had something he needed. And I do believe that green Friday would be the day I explain this to him. That should be interesting.

Woo-wee! This is short, but it packs a punch. The story is told from Dalton’s POV. I usually like to see both characters POV’s, but having everything from Dalton was wickedly delicious. Dalton is confident with a sharp sense of humor, and daring. Don’t forget daring. He must have the balls of a lion, lol, considering what he does in the story lol! (Nothing bad, but talk about a huge risk. Wow.) Dalton has his eye on Archer, Mr. Ice King as he’s referred to in the story. The man is calm, cool, and collected. Controlling with a razor tongue.
And Dalton knows exactly what Archer needs, even if Archer doesn’t.
The BDSM action was smoking hot. Both men know what the score is here. No newbie’s to worry about freaking out. The reader doesn’t get to know much about either character or their lives… and it’s not really important. For this short, all you need to know is that Archer has a hidden need. This is definitely worth reading.
