A sudden storm leaves Nia Brooks sharing the last cabin with her new boss, Marcus Hale. Marcus doesn't raise his voice and doesn't ask twice. The longer they're stuck together, the more his calm, deliberate praise starts breaking her down ? telling her how well she carries herself, how good she feels under him, and how proud he is when she finally stops fighting it. This forced proximity romance delivers heavy verbal praise, rising heat, and the kind of control that only comes from a man who already knows he's in charge.
