Taming Rylie by Kallista Dane

My hot new boss says he’ll help me break my bad habits.
But I have to give up control – to him
I worked my butt off to make it in a man’s world, then lost my dream job after a night of drunken phone calls.
I know my weaknesses – a short fuse and a low tolerance for alcohol. When the board of directors of Zenith Construction said it was my fault our company didn’t get a big contract, I lost my temper. Looking for it in a bottle of Jack Daniels that night turned out to be a big mistake.
I don’t remember leaving those expletive-laden phone messages about Zenith’s shady business practices but when the CEO played them back to me the next morning, I couldn’t deny I’d done it. I wasn’t sorry either. Everything I said was true.
Except for the message I left billionaire Neill Sullivan. It wasn’t his fault I got fired. But the contract was awarded to his company so I took my anger out on him too.
The next day Sullivan ordered me to his office. To my surprise after playing the message for me he offered me a job as his head legal counsel. But it comes with strings. I have to work for him after hours at his home office too. For six months. Without pay. Follow all his rules – no drinking, no cussing, no temper tantrums – and agree that I’ll willingly submit to his discipline if I break any of them.
No one else in town will hire me. My old boss saw to that. So I’m taking his offer. I told myself giving up bourbon and bad words would be easy. After all, it’s only for six months.
With his smoldering sexuality, Neill Sullivan was the star of my steamiest secret fantasies – until the first time he punished me. Now I hate him.
I hate the way my body responds to his firm discipline even more.
