And they’re right… until she walks back into my life, and everything changes.
Ten years ago, I broke the heart of the girl I loved, and she ran from me, never giving me a chance to explain, leaving me devastated and crushed with guilt.
Now Lottie is back and working in my club. Which gives me the chance to put things right. I know she’s hiding a secret from me, but I can’t walk away from her.
When she enters an auction to sell her body, I refuse to let another man touch what is mine.
I offer her a way out, a marriage of convenience that will benefit us both. The contract says we’ll stay married for a year.
But the truth is, she was mine then, she’s mine now, and I’m never letting her go again.
When I was young, Lincoln Coldwell was the hero in my story. The boy who promised me forever. Until the day I found out it was all a lie and realized a girl like me could never be enough for the billionaire tycoon.
Now, ten years later, he’s the villain who holds my future in his hands.
Drowning in a sea of debt and determined to protect the one person that means the world to me, I reach for a lifeline and agree to auction off the one thing I have left to sell: my virginity.
With no place to hide, I face the man who still makes my pulse quicken. But I have demands of my own. I’ll give him my body for a year, but he’ll never have my heart again. And he can never find out the truth of what happened ten years ago.
