Charm by Flora Dain is 1st in her Wolfe Trilogy of f/m erotic romantic suspenses centred around the increasingly kinky relationship between a mysterious millionaire and a not-so-wholesome schoolteacher, this installment featuring the obligatory embarrassing ex and some corporate espionage, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins' Mischief imprint.
If you're thinking this sounds like another
50 Shades of Grey cash-in, well, once again the customer reviews agree with you. And again, they say that this one is decently-written for what it is.
(And why don't these things ever have woman millionaire CEOs and their eye-candy boy-toy very-
personal assistants? I mean, if you're going to go for a power fantasy to begin with, why not go all the way?)

Probably unlikely to cross the pond. We've had a fairly low success rate for official HarperCollins UK promo freebies to do that, but the romance-y ones do seem to have better odds.
Description
Ella’s walked out on a bad scene with Ryan to fall straight into Darnley Wolfe’s arms. And Ella’s never experienced passion like this from such a complex man, because Darnley has a scandalous past, a taste for dominance, and is the chief of a global empire.
Ella and Darnley collide again and again and can’t leave each other alone. But Ella’s ex, Ryan, has stolen a valuable patent from Darnley and implicated Ella in his criminal web. Darnley gives Ella the benefit of the doubt and his protection, but she finds that Darnley’s love comes with steamy extras, including a penchant for sensual restraint, old traumas, and a family scandal that could destroy them both.
