Ecstasy of Victory (Desperate Beauty, #7) / Desperate Beauty (ePub)

The beautiful brunette Jessy and the ravishing redhead Natalie clash in the furious ways only women of the Organization can, locked in Jessy's office until only one of them can continue their bitter contests. Jessy, the mistress of the Organization's CEO demands Natalie swallow her pride and perform in a photoshoot alongside Aurelia, the woman who had defeated Natalie and took the photoshoot the redhead felt was rightfully hers. Jessy claims the two of them are being begged for by the viewers...but Natalie knows the true reason Jessy wants the two of them together. The secretary wants to use her power and influence to force Natalie's defeat deep into her mind, wants the constant contact of the redhead and Aurelia to Shatter Natalie's confidence; and Natalie's had enough of Jessy using the other models to keep her under control. Natalie is an incredible sexual goddess, but Jessy can give as good as she can take; and the CEO's pet is willing to endure anything she has to in order to keep her command.

Meanwhile, the photoshoot Aurelia had stolen back from Natalie was a massive success, pushing the veteran model to the forefront of the industry. Newscasters clamored for her attention as she signed a new contract with the Organization, a contract that would skew the schedules of other models to make room for her own. She felt on top of the world, felt like she had finally regained the fame she always deserved...but as Mia pushes through the crowd, demanding why Aurelia hasn't been answering her calls and challenges, Aurelia feels an erotic rage burning inside of her. The gorgeous upstart, the woman whose entire career had been started by Aurelia was trying to embarrass her in front of the cameras; and as their bodies grow closer, Aurelia knows she cannot back down in front of the press.

Elaine herself is relaxing in the pool, trying desperately to clear her head of the frantic, racing thoughts that won't let her be. She knows she is a veritable goddess, but as the cries of her own defeats echo in her mind, she begins to doubt her own abilities. As another model intrudes on her personal space, on the time she had set aside for herself, she knows she has to fight; but as the familiar flames of sexual combat flare, will Elaine be able to claim the Ecstasy of Victory? Or will her enemy be able to force her to say the words she swore she'd never utter and admit another model was the better woman?
