Two men, one woman and the thrill of exploration come together when a secret fantasy is revealed in Finding Her Fantasy. From the corporate boardroom to the beaches of exotic Belize, Melinda is about to discover bondage and being bossed around is a complete turn-on … that is until a madman, bent on kidnapping her for real turns her fantasy into a nightmare. Explore the world of a fantasy revealed in this exciting, contemporary romance by Trista Ann Michaels.

After finding out the man she thought was “the one” had only wanted her money, Melinda Hawthorn began to wither away. She turned cold and bitchy, drank more than she should, and worked way too much. Being mega-rich wasn’t all it was cracked up to be if she could never trust anyone. And pissing off her twin brother, the CEO of the corporation they’d inherited from their grandfather, probably wasn’t the smartest move on her part. Especially since she’d revealed her secret kidnapping fantasy to him in a drunken confession.

Erik and Jon were thrilled when they got the call from Melinda’s brother to come “kidnap” his sister. Melinda needed a break, and if she wouldn’t take one herself, then they would make sure she did, and return her to her sexy, confident self at the same time.

Melinda had always had a kidnapping fantasy, but she never dreamed she’d find sharing, spanking, bondage, and being bossed around just as sexy. Hidden away with Erik and Jon on a beautiful seaside estate in Belize, Melinda finds out just how kinky her fantasies can get, and Erik and Jon find out just how strong their friendship is when they both fall for Melinda. But when a real kidnapping threatens Melinda’s life, can they get to her in time to keep her and their growing dream of a life together alive?
