Playing for Real - Paolo's Playhouse, #5

Paolo Mancini longs for a committed relationship with a submissive who will let him love and care for her. But after a heartbreaking string of relationship failures, he's beginning to think the perfect woman for him simply doesn't exist. When Julianne Barnes steps into his playhouse for one night of bondage sex, she blows him away with her beauty, sass, and bravery. She could be the one.if she will allow him to show her how to weave bondage and submission into her life.
And hopefully, into his. Julianne keeps her craving for soft ropes, dark blindfolds, and strong fingers apart from "real life", where this successful businesswoman doesn't need anyone telling her what to do. Yet Paolo's lyrical, steel-under-silk voice affects her body in ways that make her want to offer up her soul. Slowly, delicately, Paolo tantalizes her closer to the idea that fantasy and reality can live as one.
But to convince her it's safe to open the last box protecting her emotions, he'll have to expose his greatest vulnerability. His heart. This is a previously released title.
