Playing Dirty

Parker (A Million Guilty Pleasures) delivers a fun, action-packed, highly erotic romp to open the Monkey Business series. Two high-achieving sports agents compete for one superstar quarterback, and the prize for signing him will be the coveted partnership at their elite San Diego firm. Charismatic Shaw Matthews decides to seduce his uptight nemesis, Cassidy Whalen, to throw her off her game. Determined Cassidy feels she has earned the promotion and plans to win by any means necessary. As they fall into seduction laced with anger, wit, and lust, they’re surprised how easily their workplace behavior translates into daring sexual taunts and challenges. Tension mounts as Cassidy and Shaw both find their sexual antics becoming more satisfying than their competition over the quarterback. Numerous secondary characters with their own relationship woes keep the story busy. The cliffhanger will surprise those expecting a traditional romantic happy ending, but readers will be eager to read the sequel, hoping for more rough and dirty sexual acrobatics, friendship, backstabbing, and empathy.
