A Whole New Light
Julia Devlin
Computer expert Ethan Savage is done with his crush on his beautiful coworker. The dazzling Violet Moore is not interested and she doesn’t have a submissive bone in her body. And Ethan can’t do vanilla, especially with a woman he can’t stop thinking about owning.
In a box hidden under her bed, Violet hides her submissive fantasies. No one has ever guessed her true desires and she intends to keep it that way. Modern-day women do not want to be tied up, spanked and ordered about.
When Ethan discovers Violet’s secret, he sets out to give her a taste of true submission in one whirlwind night, but will the reality be too much to handle? Or will Violet finally see Ethan in a whole new light?

Chapter One
He wanted to dominate her. In every way possible.
Ethan Savage stood against the wall, ignoring the throngs of people who filled the living room to capacity. Between the music, laughing and buzz of nonstop chatter, the walls practically vibrated. Violet Moore threw one hell of a party. Not that he was surprised. She did everything well.
Annoyance pricked at the base of his spine. Why had he promised her he’d come to this shindig?
Because she’d asked, and he was a sucker.
He could be wielding a paddle at his favorite dungeon with a willing sub instead of holding up the wall. He’d tried to say no, but Violet looked up at him with her big lilac- colored eyes, thick, sooty lashes fluttering as she pleaded, and he hadn’t the heart to deny her.
Now he was stuck at this godforsaken party.
He sighed. With most women, he was on the other side of the rope, but not with Violet. Damn woman had him tied up in so many knots he couldn’t break free.
And he didn’t like it one fucking bit.
He’d tried everything to cure his infatuation. Logic had been useless.
Other women pointless.
Reason didn’t hold a candle to his lust. And it was so frustrating. He ground his back teeth, repressing the low growl deep in his throat.
He understood the physical reaction—she was beautiful—any red-blooded man would want her. What he didn’t get
