Description:
By all appearances, Shyla Ball has an enviable life: a loyal
boyfriend, a great job, and family that loves her. She doesn't realize how
deeply unsatisfied she is until she has an embarrassing encounter with a
handsome stranger at a coffee shop. Taylor Holden, a successful businessman,
takes a sudden special interest in her and offers her a job she cannot refuse.
Soon after, she learns there is much more to this intensely private man than
meets the eye. He is hiding many painful secrets, including why it is that he
has seemingly plucked her out of obscurity for such a lucrative position. Shyla
tries her best to resist, but eventually they cave into their intense mutual
attraction. Her "perfect" world is turned upside down by her
infatuation towards Taylor and in just a couple of months, her life looks
nothing like it did before. While she is frightened by the changes she sees in
herself, she cannot resist the lure of Taylor Holden and continues to delve
deeper into their relationship. As Shyla slowly gains Taylor's trust, she
learns of his complex history and how it has molded him into the person he has
become. When elements of Taylor's secret past resurface and threaten to destroy
them, Shyla finds out there may be more to Taylor's story than even he is aware
of. Strapped is a story of passion,
manipulation, obsession, and family secrets.

Excerpt
1:
When we arrive on our floor we head to our
rooms, politely bidding each other goodnight. Just as I am about to enter mine,
I remember I have his jacket. I can use this to have just one more moment with
him tonight. I knock on his door, his lips slightly open when he sees me on the
other side.
“You forgot your jacket.” It is still on my
shoulders. I turn around to offer it up to him.
“Thank you Shy,” As he says this he takes both
of his hands, grabbing each shoulder of the jacket and oh so slowly pulls it
off of me, grazing my bare arms and back as he pulls it off. I close my eyes
taking in his touch. Each caress of his fingertips feels like one thousand little
sparks. How can just the faintest touch from this man set me off like this? Please kiss me. Kiss my neck. I won’t say
no. I hold my position for a second more than I should, but it feels so
tortuously long. There is nothing, not another touch, not a kiss. I turn to
face him again and bid him goodnight. His face looks sad, almost guilty. Every
word, every touch, every action tonight was an implication. This keeps us safe
from one another. It keeps me safe from him.
“Goodnight Shy,” he says as if dismissing me
from his presence.
“Goodnight Taylor.”
