    About this ebook

    Sylvia must fess up her secrets, but things go too far when Ivy, the publisher at Daring Desires Publishing, wants to use Katia as her own personal learning tool for BDSM. What ensues is a catfight between editor and boss, as both try to win over author Katia Lane.

    Katia never expected BDSM to come up when she's invited to meet with the publisher for dinner, but sure enough, a ménage is in the making. What Katia can't understand is, if Sylvia asked her to come, why isn't the editor enjoying this too?

      THE PUBLISHER’S PROPOSAL

      D. F. Krieger and Sonia Hightower

      Copyright © 2012

      Chapter One

      Sylvia Avers smiled, pleasure zinging through her, as she stared at her computer. For the third month in a row, Katia Lane's book Taming Thalia was within the top ten. No matter what third party site she checked, the author's book ranked high, and that left Sylvia feeling high as a kite.

      When she'd met the author, Katia had been a royal pain in the ass. With no experience in the realm of BDSM or lesbian relationships, the best-selling author wrote a book that contained both key elements. She’d made the mistake of submitting it to Sylvia. The potential was there for a great story, but the lack of realism made accepting it a conflict.

      And then we met and I introduced her to both realms.

      A smile curled Sylvia’s lips as she exited out of her Internet search. The relationship between the two of them, despite their distance, continued to grow. It was so fun to see how Katia changed from the snide, prissy diva in e-mails to the mewling submissive when they spent time together in person. The sassy attitude never failed to arouse Sylvia as she daydreamed of the proper way to respond.

      Ding.

      Sylvia, startled from her thoughts, focused back in on her computer. A box on the bottom tool bar flashed, alerting her that she had a new e-mail message. The familiar emotions—a thrill of excitement coupled with cynicism—fluttered in her stomach. Perhaps an author had e-mailed a new manuscript? On the same note, it could very well be a piece of junk labeled with the divine title of literature. One never knew without opening and reading.

      Sylvia had found she couldn’t even count on established authors to always put out good stories. It seemed that many of them fell into the rut of writing for money. They chugged out stories as fast as they could, just to be able to count another publication under their belts. These stories lacked the emotion and life that attracted not only Sylvia, but readers as well. They were generally filled page-to-page with meaningless sex that did nothing to move the plot forward. Or worse yet, and Sylvia's pet peeve, BDSM books that were based solely on a man whipping the crap out of a woman, then demanding she service him. It was disgusting, really, and set Sylvia off in so many ways. That was not the truth of the style, but readers wouldn't know that, not if they didn't participate in it for real. Daring Desires Publishing was an erotic romance industry, but there was a fine line between porn and erotic romance. A line that authors were blurring as they tended to follow the trend of sex sells.

      As she debated whether she wanted to ruin her mood by opening the e-mail, Sylvia took a sip of her Coke. She realized, as she sat there eyeing the computer screen like it was a snake that might bite her, that her high was already ruined.

      Well, that pisses me off. Sylvia slammed her drink down on her computer desk and glared at the offending box that continued to blink. Whoever it is damn well better make up for this. Otherwise I might just have to put a stiletto up someone’s ass.

      She seized the mouse and navigated the curser to the box, then clicked it to open. Her mood only soured further as she realized her dreams of receiving a manuscript worth contracting were dashed. The e-mail was from Ivy Hornay, publisher of Daring Desires Publishing. Not an author at all, but Sylvia’s boss.

      It wasn’t that she disliked her boss. The woman was flexible with schedules, let Sylvia treat
