Strictly Business
The business world is a shark tank, and Eric Courtland quickly learns it's eat or be eaten. Desperate for revenge against a father who never loved him and drove his mother to an early grave, Eric forges a partnership with ruthless titan of industry, Branford Crane.
Bran owns him body and soul, tutoring him in the cut-throat tactics of high finance by day-and by night, giving Eric the punishment and domination he craves.
Will Eric have to become his father in order to beat him - and at what cost? Can Nick Thompson's love pull him back from the edge?
A prequel to the All Romance e-books' best-selling novel The Arrangement.

Reviews
"This book doesn’t let up on the emotional pull – whether you love it or hate it, it's a roller coaster and I simply was gripped.
I love when authors push themselves, and I think Ms. Grant really pushed herself in this one. She has a commanding voice in this book and I liked it.
I am not going to sugar coat this book – it is short, it is BDSM and it is not nice. It niggled me, but my hat's off to the author, because – guess what -- I could not stop turning the pages, I thought she really had a handle on the BDSM. I wonder what she would do with a full on bondage/domination book."

"An emotionally charged novella, this is written with an easy sympathy for the characters that makes the reader care about them from the first page." - Cocktail Reviews
"Strictly Business is a wonderful story filled with powerful emotions. Eric's struggle is heartbreaking as he fights his emotions and desires. I enjoyed spending time with these characters in their youth, getting a chance to see what their relationship was like near the beginning." - Rainbow Reviews
"Strictly Business masterfully paints the picture of a desperate and damaged man, who is both a victim of his past and the engineer of his future. Eric is caught in the struggle between lusting after a man as domineering and cruel as his father and the desire to become his father... He is torn between longing for real love and intimacy with Nick and the "love" he thinks he deserves. It's fascinating to watch these factors war within him as he fights to break free and choose the life he truly wants. This book is tragic, disturbing, beautiful, and affirming. It is not to be missed." - Dark Diva Reviews
