Bound by Him
by Red Garnier

The Billionaire’s Club: The wealthiest, most powerful men, not only in Chicago, but in the world. They are used to having whatever they want, whenever they want it.

Oil tycoon Andrew Fairchild would sell his soul to protect Whitney Donahue. She’s the one girl he’s loved his whole life. And when tragedy strikes and Andrew needs to leave, he’s determined to keep Whitney from knowing where he’s going, and why. But when he finally comes home, he discovers that Whitney is no longer the vulnerable young girl he left behind. She’s all woman and she awakens his darkest passions with an intensity that threatens to consume them both.

Whitney never loved anyone the way she loved Andrew Fairchild and no one hurt her the way he did. When he returns, her body remembers his touch all too well and while Whitney is rendered helpless by his expert seduction, glorying in the way he forces her to surrender her body, she vows never to give him her heart again. But “never” is not a word in Andrew’s vocabulary. When a madman threatens Whitney’s life and the past they’ve struggled for years to put behind them haunts them once more, this sexy billionaire is even more determined to fight for her—and fight not only for her heart, but for the very life of the woman he's bound to him forever.

Also, don’t miss CLAIMED BY HIM and TAKEN BY HIM, the first two unforgettable stories in The Billionaire’s Club, available now.

Red Garnier's Bio

I don't think there's anything as magical as reading a wonderful book. Since I read my very first, I was utterly transported to a world that made me want to pack my bags and move right into it. I was twelve. Maybe thirteen. And I finally knew what I wanted to be.

A writer.

But a writer's life isn't as romantic as it sounds. Life always gets in the way of writers. You either live your own, or you sit down and create one for someone. Someone more wonderful, more interesting, more courageous. And because I met a wonderful man, my life came first. I married him. And we have two wonderful kids, whom we adore. And writing seemed to be just a little moment living in a big dream. I wrote, but I wrote little, and I needed more.

It wasn't until the start of 2005 when my life had settled around me, and with that stillness came a gnawing restlessness. I really needed to write, really write, or I'd be miserable.

So I started, spending a few hours a day on the computer, and later entire nights. I heard of Ellora's Cave, an erotic romance publisher, and their call for submissions for their hotter Exotika line. Ahh! Something sexy, I thought, and mulled through that a bit further: Something scandalizing. Shocking. Out of this world caliente.

Awesome!

And so began a career writing erotic romance, which took off quickly and unexpectedly. First with the epublishers, and later helping me find my fabulous agent Roberta Brown. She signed me up with my first full single title, The Satin Sash, which NAL/ Penguin bought on proposal in April 2008.

Am I a writer now? I wondered that day.

Nah! I was a writer before that, but perhaps at last I start to feel like one.

I live in Texas with my family, two very big dogs, and dozens of wandering deer who keep eating the flowers. Sometimes I write all day, and sometimes the words elude me, little devils. But the thing is, at last I write. Or perhaps I spin, weaving tales of love and woe and raw, unbridled passion.
