    About this ebook

    Skye Wilder has quit her job as an exotic dancer and is looking for a fresh start. When she is given the chance to work as a secretary at the new golf resort on the other side of town, there's just one problem: Skye doesn't know the first thing about being secretary. 

    With trepidation, she agrees to take on the role, and is sequestered away to live on the remote resort. While there, she discovers the resort is under investigation for its suspected involvement in 'scare tactics' on the local residents. At the center of the investigation is the resort's CEO, Cace Arrington. A handsome but reportedly ruthless man. 

    As Skye finds herself increasingly drawn to her new boss, she must get to the bottom of who is behind the criminal actions. But as she digs closer to the truth, will she like what she finds? And why are there forces working to stop her? 

    A Standalone Short Story with No Cliffhanger!

      Out of Bounds

      Chapter 1

      Anotification flashed on Skye’s phone, telling her she was invited to a school reunion at the end of the year. Come and see how everyone is doing ten years on... read the message.

      Great, thought Skye sarcastically. Unmarried, no children, and about to take my clothes off in a bar full of men just to pay the rent. She cringed as she imagined all the ex-classmates that would end up at the reunion; boasting about their careers and rich husbands. The joy mixed with pity on their faces as they asked: So Skye, what are you up to these days?

      She pushed it out of her mind, and concentrated on the job at hand. Peeking out through a tiny gap in the stage curtain, she could make out the sea of eyes waiting for her to step out on stage. Hungry male eyes.

      With a deep breath and silent prayer, Skye stepped through the curtains and onto the stage. Her black, strappy monokini left little to the imagination, and she felt exposed. But Skye knew how to fake confidence, and to the feverish audience, she looked like an Amazonian goddess with her tall frame and long black hair.

      Although it was a far cry from any career she’d envisaged for herself, she knew it played to her biggest strength: her ability to read men. And as she moved across the stage, it wasn’t difficult to see why Skye Wilder had become the star attraction at this bar.

      Skye knew that many of the men here weren’t bad people. Some of the regulars, such as Joe, a computer programmer on a six-figure salary, were just men with high-pressure day jobs looking for release.

      Except something was different tonight. As Skye looked out over the jeering crowd, banging their beer glasses and groping her legs, she knew something had changed. This was not what she wanted for herself.

      Without a word uttered, Skye grabbed the few clothes she’d shed, and left the stage.

      Ten minutes later, Skye’s aunt, Margo was waiting for her in the parking lot. Skye got into the passenger seat of Margo’s car, and the two women sat there for a while as she caught her breath.

      What did your boss say?

      He was furious! said Skye, shaking her head and trying to find the levity in the situation. The truth was she didn’t take pleasure in letting people down–and she’d never quit a job in her life.

      Margo gave Skye a reassuring look in the way only she seemed capable of giving. Growing up with two alcoholic and self-destructive parents, Skye always felt grateful to have one stable figure in her life: her aunt, Margo. Almost forty years older than Skye with a hefty build and strong jaw, Margo was a big, imposing woman. Yet despite that, there was something gentle about her face–a protective quality, which seemed to radiate from her.

      There’s just one problem now of course, began Skye. I’m jobless.

      Margo laughed warmly. Well, that would be a problem! she admitted. Although, I do have a secretarial role to fill for one of my clients across town. At that new golf resort which opened up recently.

      Secretarial? I don’t know the first thing about being a secretary! said Skye.

      I need someone I can rely on. Someone who won’t let me down. And you fit that bill, don’t you?

      Skye smiled at how Margo posed the question. It was so hard to win an argument with her.

      One of your clients? Doesn’t that mean they’ll be super sophisticated?

      Margo ran an agency that provided specialist staff to big businesses around town.

      "As sophisticated as they come. This one is Cace Arrington. He’s the leisure tycoon, who took over his family’s business. They own hotels and resorts all
