Dark. Powerful. Dangerous. James Maxwell commands Las Vegas City's elite as a ruthless billionaire who answers to no one. Two million dollars. Five years. Your brother's freedom. Sign the contract. Those are the terms James Maxwell—the devastatingly gorgeous billionaire who ignites my pulse and sets my body on fire—demands. I should walk away, but I can't. My brother's debt to him is crushing, and we're barely surviving paycheck to paycheck. The real problem? I'm falling hard for the man who sees me as nothing but his plaything. I'm Mia Donovan, a twenty-two-year-old from a struggling small town, scraping by as a kitchen hand. My life shifts the moment James enters it—for better and infinitely worse. With his striking Prussian-blue eyes and magnetic presence, he makes my heart race and my entire body respond to his touch. When he kisses me, reality dissolves into pure sensation. Yet his world drips with darkness and peril, and loving him threatens everything—my safety, my sanity, my very soul. This is our story.
