His Daring Secret
An ambitious administrative assistant...a perfectionist and hunk executive...a dark secret...and a whole lot name calling.
Deborah Green is brilliant, diligent, and on track to earn her MBA; the only stumbling block in her path is her boss, Sebastian Alvarado. He is demanding, frank, inconsiderate, and totally enticing. A Handsome Beast, at least for Deb.
After spending time in France, Sebastian has moved back to Chicago to play an integral role in his family's massive media empire. He had no idea that the foreign assistant helping him out was the stunning, naive and provocative, yet completely irritating creature he now has to deal with on a daily basis.
He's never been into office romance, despite the rumors. But Deb is so alluring that he is prepared to break the rules, if necessary. Everywhere in the workplace.
Sebastian and Deborah's hunger for one another has reached a boiling point, and they must now decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for satisfaction.
But what if she becomes entangled with the need to conceal one terrible secret —- a secret that could alter the course of her entire life? Given the stakes, she must keep it a secret or she's totally done.

Chapter: Secret Revealed I applied just enough blush to hide my ghostly white skin, just enough mascara to turn my lashes dark and my eyes bluer, and blew my hair into a gleaming, slippery mass of strands.Yet, there was still one more detail to take care of before I could get naked with a man.Frustrated, I turned my back on the mirror and grimaced at my distinguishing birthmark. Not even the passage of time could dull its brilliance.I considered getting it removed, but the thought of exposing it to a doctor who might be curious, sceptical, or even able to see more than I was comfortable with.That's a mark I just couldn't make sense of. So it was difficult to give an explanation for the improbable.I quickly slapped on some foundation with my makeup sponge and covered the area. At long last, I put on my pants, dress, and shoes.Upon looking at my reflection, I couldn't help but gaze.I don't see how the Cowardly Lion can look as good as I do.Okay. My plan was to get a glass of wine, go into the great room

Chapter: Her Naked Present DeborahAFTER TWO WEEKSI had always followed the rules.I covered my lips with my hand when I laughed to stifle the sound. When I cried, I did so alone in my apartment. I only used the f-word once, when I dropped the casserole and spilled lasagna all over the kitchen floor, and even then, I was alone.Without a doubt. I was single and often felt lonely.I dressed suitably for each position, first as a typewriter, then as a secretary, and finally as the executive assistant to the president of Alvarado's Media Empire.So, what was I doing travelling from California to Washington on my own, dressed inappropriately, to deliver vital papers to my boss's holiday property on the coast?What else is there? Of course, I can't ignore the fact that I was in love. Sebastian Alvarado, my gruff, arrogant, but attractive boss, has smitten me.Yeah. Wasn't everyone? He was six three and a half feet tall. That was fortunate because I am six feet tall in my stocking feet. Or, as my buddy Vivian put it

Chapter: Almost caught DEBORAHMy father gave me some good advice when I was offered a scholarship to earn my MBA from Alvarado's Media Empire (AME) in exchange for working as the executive secretary.He informed me that in order to rise to the top, I would first need to work my way up from the bottom."Prove yourself indispensable to the CEO. Join their inner circle and serve as a trusted adviser. You just need to educate yourself on their culture and you'll be snapped up the moment you graduate."After three years, I had established myself as indispensable. I would quickly rise to the position of CEO's "Right Hand." That, at least, is my ambitious objective.Yet, as AME's greatest right hand, I've been having second thoughts as of late. Basically, I was the right hand that wanted to slap the damn face the majority of the time.For Pete's sake, I just picked up a giant stone off the ground and plan to use it to scratch my own skull with it.My boss, Mr. Sebastian Alvarado, is, of course, even though I hate

Chapter: Introduction I had never been scared throughout my life, but running is not an option. If I didn't just think it was part of my job, I wouldn't be in that secluded, dark and creepy place.There will never be a sensible person who would spend millions of his wealth to build a house in the middle of that forest.Wearing my leather jacket and skinny jeans partnered with boots which was getting heavier because of the mud, I was walking down the road which I thought has not been passed by any vehicle for several years. When I was threading the muddy road, there was a sudden lightning followed by a loud thunder which startled me.I felt like I was the unluckiest person that time when I slipped on that bullshit muddy road that I have never been imagined to be existed."Damn this place. Damn, poor Deb, you're the unluckiest person today," I murmured.I was close to giving up when I saw a haunted looking mansion at the end of the muddy road.If I had not felt sorry for my new car, I would not have left i
