THOROUGHLY WHIPPED

I, Faith Parisi, love my life. I have the best job - resident sex-advice diva for Visage magazine - I have the best friends, and I live in the best city in the world. Things are pretty damn fabulous. That is, until Henry "Harry" Sinclair III comes crashing back into my world like a bad case of herpes.

I hate the way Harry's lip curls in contempt whenever he sees me. I hate his bright blue eyes and those inexplicably offensive dimples. I hate his stuffy English accent and the stick that's permanently jammed up his aristocratic ass. More than anything, I hate that he's now my boss.

But my professional prospects start to look up when a chance at writing Visage's big summer feature falls into my lap. Success won't be easy. I'll need to let go of all my inhibitions - not that I have that many of those - and jump, stiletto heels first, into a hedonistic new world. An exclusive, secretive world, filled with leather, latex, and Manhattan's elite.

Pulling this off will take every ounce of daring I have, and every ounce of focus. I can't afford to get distracted by anything, least of all my new boss, his arrogant mouth, or the way the ice between us seems to be slowly melting away.

She was brought up surrounded by her mother -- a farmer's daughter, her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of rescue animals and horses.
