Delilah Andrews has spent her life surviving the wreckage her father left behind, first after her mother's death, then through years of addiction, shame, and mounting debt. She's been the anchor keeping them afloat while he's been the weight dragging them under. So when a man in a tailored suit and a cold smile shows up on their doorstep offering salvation, it's no surprise her father jumps at the chance. Every debt cleared. Every threat erased. The price? Delilah herself. James Vastola doesn't make empty offers, and he doesn't take what's not his. But once a deal is struck, he owns it-mind, body, and soul. Thrust into a world of power, control, and dark secrets, Delilah refuses to break quietly. But every deal has its cost and no one escapes untouched.
