Breaking Rank: A Steamy Obedience & Desire Romance

She can win any negotiation. She just can't stop negotiating with herself.Riley Tran is the firm's rising star: ruthless in a boardroom, flawless on paper, and one step away from partnership. Her life runs on rules she wrote in highlighter-calendar blocks, contingency plans, and a phone that never leaves her hand. Control isn't a preference. It's survival.Then she's assigned Command Group.On the surface, it's an elite training and security company. Underneath, it's something Riley never saw coming: a discreet, ethics-first private club where power is exchanged by consent, not taken-and where every boundary is documented as carefully as a contract.Grant Lawson is the last man Riley wants to answer to. Ex-special forces, steady as stone, and infuriatingly immune to her intimidation tactics, he insists she can't evaluate the club's legal protections without seeing how it works. Riley tells herself she's there to protect the firm. To reduce liability. To stay objective.Until Grant offers her a "demonstration" that has nothing to do with sex-and everything to do with surrender.One hour. No phone. No work. No decisions. Just obedience... until the timer ends.Riley expects to hate it. To fight him. To walk out.Instead, she feels something she hasn't felt in years: relief.
