Little did I know, she was the missing piece to a very important puzzle I couldn't solve and now she was all mine. Esmeralda "Rose" Gomez has always been a free spirit filled with laughter and happiness. Traumatic events led her to believe that fairytales don't exist and love was forbidden in her world. Family was all she had to depend on, but when a secret reveals itself forcefully, she must decide if the price to pay will be worth putting her life at risk. Damien De La Torre was your typical guy. A man who fucks and leaves. A man whose rules involve never getting romantically involved with a woman.

With Esmeralda in his debt and a mother who keeps throwing options his way, he gives in, allowing him and Esmeralda to both get what they want. A deal to set her family free in exchange for her hand in marriage. Blood shed, betrayal, and death is nothing compared to the perilous emotion stirring inside their bodies. The one emotion that terminates their contract indefinitely. Love. 18+ IS ADVISED FOR THIS BOOK*** © bereeexx 2020. All rights reserved
