Taste of the Dark

"Fifty Shades of Grey" meets "The Bear" — From Amazon bestselling author Nicole Fox comes a billionaire office, mafia-lite romance.

I tried to quit.
My boss said no.

When you work for billionaire restaurateur Bastian Hale, every day is an exercise in endurance.
He screams at you in front of half the staff? Endure.
He tears your work to bits and tells you to start again? Endure.
He surprises you shirtless in the office late one night? Endure... then go home and die of embarrassment.

I've endured six years of Bastian Hale.
I can endure anything.
... Until my doctor tells me I'm going blind in ninety days.

Suddenly, enduring isn't the goal anymore.
Living is.
Seeing everything I can before the lights go out forever.
And that means one thing: quitting the job that's consumed my entire adult life.

There's just one problem:
Bastian doesn't accept my resignation.

Instead, he shreds my letter to pieces...
Offers me a million dollars to stay...
And vows to make my last ninety days of sight worth remembering.

The man is arrogant. Brutal. Cold as the walk-in freezer.
But his hands are warm.
And in the dark, he teaches me things my eyes never could.

I wanted one last look at the light.
I got a taste of the dark instead.

TASTE OF THE DARK is Book 1 of Bastian and Eliana’s story. Their romance concludes in Book 2, TASTE OF THE LIGHT.
