THE HEART OF STONE
Book 1 of the Heart of Stone Series
by E.L. Beth
Hope Grahams never knew what drove her mother into the arms of a man like Declan Stone-the cold, commanding owner of an exclusive bondage club. But when her mother ends her life because Declan no longer wants her leaving her entire inheritance in Declan's name, Hope knew one thing: she wanted it back.
To reclaim what was hers, Hope dives headfirst into Declan's world, showing up at his club every week, pretending to play the submissive. Her goal is simple-gain his attention, earn his trust, then take him down. But Declan Stone is not a man easily fooled. He's a master of control, ruthless in his expectations, and always ten steps ahead. The more Hope tries to manipulate him, the deeper she sinks into his games.
When Declan offers her a deal-submit to him for one year, and he'll return the money-Hope agrees, thinking she can survive the terms. But obedience has its price... and Declan intends to collect it, body and soul.
As lines blur between revenge and desire, Hope must decide if her mother's past is worth avenging-or if she's already become part of the same twisted legacy.
