Valentina Reed thought she had everything in life figured out. Being nothing but perfect for her father's standards, having a decent job, and maintaining her family's social status. But she realized nothing was what it seemed. Everything changed when she met him, Nikolai Sinclair. A ruthless, rich, untouchable man with many secrets. The type of man that doesn't ask; he owns. From the moment he had set his eyes on her, he decided she was entirely his. She was only supposed to be leverage, just a deal. The rules were simple: Sleep in his bed. Wear his ring. Never look at another man. Love was never part of the deal. Still, with every command he gives, every kiss, every look, she forgets how to say no. Now, she is torn between the girl she was and the sin she becomes under his touch. But some sins don't beg for forgiveness, they demand surrender.
