Unexpected Control

Unexpected Control Ann Jacobs Book 3 in the Club Rio Brava series. Pediatric surgeon Elle Drake may be conventional in her professional life, but she likes her sex kinky and hot—hot enough that she can shed her inhibitions and let go. Though she enjoys playing with the Doms at Club Rio Brava, she’s beginning to wish for a Dom of her own. Not a masked partner at the club, but someone she can count on for hot sex as well as friendship. She’s fairly sure no such man exists for her. Rancher Trace Williams is everything she’s ever wanted in a man, except his lovemaking’s almost pure vanilla. A word from his sister sets him on the path to Dominance—and the key to Elle’s heart. Publisher Note: The Club Rio Brava series is spun off A Mutual Favor. The stories in the Club Rio Brava series originally comprised the Members Only series from another publisher, but they have been completely rewritten for Ellora’s Cave.
