I wasn't sure how I was going to like this as I haven't read this author before and I've been burned by serials that haven't delivered their new installment in a timely fashion. But I got sucked into this story right away. Aria is a cocktail waitress who looks out for the other woman on the floor, especially the ones that interact with the high-rollers, or whales as she calls them. When one of the high-rollers gets out of hand and security won't help, she takes matters into her own hands, and although she loses her job, she knows she did the right thing. 
 When Sebastian, the owner's son sees the videotape of the incident, he immediately calls Aria in to reinstate her job, and he falls hard and fast for her. 
 There's some definite chemistry between these two and even though Aria says she isn't going to sleep with him, she really can't deny her attraction to him either. 
 And so Sebastian and Aria between to find out all about control. There's a lot of heat here, and I liked these characters. By the time I got to the end of this first installment, I couldn't wait to pick up the next one.
