Book 1 in the Necessary Roughness series. All-pro defensive end Jimmy Bronson, new to the Savannah Rebels, moved to escape memories of a disastrous marriage. A sexual Dominant who's in no hurry to jump into another relationship, he falls in lust with an arresting female face in a magazine. Julie Silver, the object of his obsession, happens to live in his condo building. Their connection is instantaneous and the sex is hot and wild. Quickly, they discover they share a fetish, which they decide to play out at Rebels' Roost, the team's exclusive BDSM club. The perfect Master and slave 'til death do they part? Julie is not so sure. She is older than Jimmy and knows that lust comes easily when you're young, but love requires time and compromise. Jimmy is very sure, though. Julie is perfect for him. He's already bought her collar and a length of diamond-studded chain to lace through the rings that adorn her clit and nipples. A committed player-in sex games and life-always gets just what he wants.
