Not So Alpha Now
£2.99
Bernard Capehart is the epitome of an alpha male—successful, confident, and accustomed to being in control. As a senior diplomat for His Majesty’s Foreign Office, he relishes the power and respect that come with his position. Sent to Bangkok for a two-year assignment, Bernard anticipates a life of luxury and easy conquests. But his expectations are shattered when he crosses paths with Ananya, a young and seemingly unassuming Thai woman hired to take care of his household.
What begins as a routine professional arrangement quickly takes a turn Bernard could never have foreseen. Ananya, with her quiet determination and unyielding will, slowly begins to chip away at Bernard’s commanding exterior. As she tightens her grip, Bernard finds himself inexplicably drawn to her, his long-held beliefs and sense of self crumbling under the weight of his growing obsession.
Stripped of his control and dignity, Bernard is pulled into a world where he is no longer the master, but the servant. Ananya becomes the dominant force in his life, leading him down a path of submission that he never imagined possible. As the power dynamics shift, Bernard is forced to confront the dark recesses of his desires, leading to a transformation that is as shocking as it is irreversible.
Not So Alpha Now! is a gripping exploration of power, desire, and the unexpected ways in which our deepest fears and fantasies can intertwine. Declan Somersby crafts a tale that challenges the boundaries of traditional roles, leaving readers questioning what it truly means to be in control.
