    “I can teach you. Would you like that, Mia?” When I scored the interview at Blush magazine, I assumed I’d be interviewing with some random HR person. And then they bring me into his office. Weston Bridges, CEO. He’s twenty-eight-years old, a self-made billionaire, and a totally notorious playboy who just so happens to be super sexy. I know his reputation -- player, totally arrogant, richer than God, and completely full of himself. I bet he’s a total a-hole -- and by the way everyone is racing around the office when I show up for my interview, I’m sure I’m right. Of course, the bastard is even hotter in person than he is in his pictures. He’s like some billboard model or something, his dark hair perfectly combed with the slightest bit of curl, and his suit that just fit him flawlessly. For some reason, every move he makes grabs my attention. Just seeing him sitting there behind his desk makes me feel like I want him to take me and kiss me, which is so not like me. Then Weston drops the bombshell. The magazine I want to write for is getting makeover. A sexier makeover. No problem, I tell him confidently. I can write about sex. (Just because I’ve never had it doesn’t mean I can’t write about it, right? Of course, I keep my lack of experience a secret.) Weston offers to discuss it further. He tells me he’ll pick me up that night. He tells me to wear something sexy. What he doesn’t tell me is that he’s taking me to a sex club. The kind with whips and chains and handcuffs and punishments. I am so screwed…

    He was leaving the hopelessness of his current life behind, but he now faced the uncertainty of living along the coastal waters of Grays Harbor, where the prospect of a better life was likely just as grim.Over the past several weeks, most of his friends and neighbors had either died or disappeared - and judging from the rumors around town and the limited amount of information he'd seen in the news, it seemed to be happening everywhere. He was hoping that the quiet, picturesque community of Cohasset Beach would shield his family from the chaos and misery in the world around them - but even in a secluded cabin, hidden by the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest, his family begins to notice strange things happening around them. They soon discover that the nightmare they've been hiding from, isn't nearly as terrifying as what awaits them in the nearby town of Westport.
