About this book

When Elizabeth crashes into Hunter's glittering world of vice and secrets, she's hoping to simply fade into the background—but this bourbon heir has other plans, leaving her desperate enough to make an impossible choice. Determined to reclaim her life on her own terms, she sets out on a daring path that leads to a luxurious Nevada brothel, where fate deals her the cruelest hand: the man who broke her is also her highest bidder. What follows is a scorching, dangerous dance between two damaged souls who can either destroy each other completely or find redemption in the wreckage. This is a dark, addictive romance for readers who crave high stakes, tortured heroes, and heroines brave enough to risk everything—including their hearts.

AI-generated synopsis

darksensualdangerousintoxicatingobsessive

Dark, sensual R&B and moody indie pop with an undercurrent of danger. Think sultry vocals, heavy bass, and cinematic tension—artists like FKA twigs, The Weeknd, and Portishead. Atmospheric, sexually charged, morally complex. For readers craving intensity and forbidden desire.
