As he tries to persuade her to masquerade as a female him, they fall in love, but she does not trust him with her heart and he does not trust him with her heart either.

"Black Leather" by Donna Kauffman. VLL partner Samantha is a control freak at work, but also uses her acumen in her sex life needing to always be in charge. Her lover Marsh wants her to let go and let him be in charge in bed even some of the time or else he will leave in spite of being in love with Sam.

Summary

Velvet, Leather & Lace, a hot new lingerie catalogue company, is launching "stunt lingerie"—wispy little nothings that can be removed piece by piece with the slightest tug. The global satellite fashion show is fast approaching and partners Jamie, Samantha and Mia are coming apart as fast as their underwear.

Samantha has put off her current lover so many times he's about to kidnap her. And what if the press discovers Jamie—CFO and designer in this all-woman company—is actually a man? Lorna Sutton offers to front for Jamie—but not for payment...for payback. Then set-contractor Jake Holbrook decides to test Mia's claim she doesn't like sex—the night before the show. At this rate, Jamie, Samantha and Mia might get caught with their panties—or boxers—down.
