Mercy Leigh Hollis knows how to be good. She's been good her whole life- Soft-spoken. Skirt-wearing. Heaven-fearing. Taught to keep her legs closed and her prayers louder than her thoughts. But one wrong moment puts a man with blood on his hands in her life-and suddenly, "good" doesn't feel like enough. He's older. Meaner. Doesn't flinch at sin. And he sees right through her lace and Sunday dresses. She wasn't supposed to want him. She wasn't supposed to like the way his voice sounded when it said her name. She wasn't supposed to open the door when the devil knocked- But here she is. Askin' to be taught. And he's more than willin' to ruin her the slow way. This isn't a redemption arc. It's a fall from grace with eye contact

Autumn McKenzie learned two things early in life: people leave, and love doesn't pay the bills. After losing her parents at just nine years old, she was shuffled through the system like a forgotten file. By eighteen, she was done trusting anyone but herself. Stripping wasn't a dream, but it was survival-and it paid better than hope ever did. Enter Luciano Romano. CEO. Billionaire. Dangerous. At thirty-four, he runs his empire with iron control-and plays even harder. He doesn't chase. He takes. And when he walks into the velvet-lit club where Autumn dances, he decides she's his next acquisition. But Autumn isn't a toy, and she's not afraid of the dark. Luciano doesn't believe in love. Autumn doesn't believe in men like him. What begins as a power play turns into something neither of them expected-obsession, surrender, and secrets neither one is ready to confess. Because some sins are worth keeping.
