Chloe's identical twin sister Zoe wants a favor. She needs Chloe to dress up in her work clothes and meet an important client, pretending to be her. There's just one problem. Zoe isn't an investment banker as she's led everyone to believe—she's a dominatrix and her work clothes include a leather bustier, thigh-high boots and a feathered mask. There are three rules, according to Zoe—don't lose control of the situation, don't have sex with the client, and never take off the mask.

Shy, retiring Chloe has no idea how to go about dominating anyone. But that won't be a problem for long because the "client", Mark Jacobs, is a hot alpha male in a black leather mask of his own who prefers to take the lead when it comes to sex.

Soon Chloe is breaking all the rules for one night of forbidden passion but when she decides to take off her mask and asks Mark to do the same, she has no idea that the black leather he wears conceals a dark secret that may change her life forever.

Cruising Amazon, coming down from an Eternal Rider induced high, I found yet another quick read from Evangeline Anderson. And this baby's a good one.

The bestest twin sister anyone could ask for, Chloe agrees to take Zoe's place on an appointment with her new client-on the heels of learning just what it was her sister actually did for a living. A first grade teacher, Chloe knows nothing about playing the role of a dominatrix and fumbles mightily the first few moments in. Despite the attempt to get things back on track, the client, Mark, turns the tables and Chloe soon finds her own self strapped to the Saint Andrew's cross.

Thing is, Mark isn't out for domination. And despite the masks, he knows exactly who he's pleasuring. --A fact that I am so thankful for the author pointing out because I totally missed the slip. The BDSM is well, let's just say that if you're not a fan of it, it won't bother you. It's all basically a prop in the stage being set. Actually.. it might be better for those who aren't. Afterall, it's not everyone's fantasy. =) 5 out of 5 stars.
