Taming Nora is the second book in Scarlett Sanderson’s Decadence Series. Nora is a ballistics analyst for the CIA and a newbie sub. She is on her third visit to Decadence and looking for her very own dom. While looking around the club, she ends up catching Alex St. Claire, a spy in the CIA, flogging a woman up on the stage. As turned on as she is, she knows he’s not for her.
The next day, she’s asked to go undercover with Alex in Rome and act as a D/s couple so they can plant a chip at a man named Kava’s club so they can hack his system. She’s none too happy to hear that Alex thinks she’s not qualified for the job and will just be a liability. They go to Kava’s club and do a scene, but the caring Alex from the scene turns into cold Alex later. After she lays into him for his treatment of him, they do another scene, a punishment scene. Alex continues with his hot and cold behavior until her life is in danger. Will he finally thaw and realize he has the perfect woman?
