Jameson Holt has spent his life believing the little girl from his youth was a hallucination. A product of a terrible fever, his family, his friends, all of them said she wasn't real. He almost believed it himself. He took his place as CEO of a multi-million dollar empire, he lived a life that would be the envy of any man who couldn't see the growing darkness and pain beneath the surface. Then, in an instant, everything changed. The is no denying now that she was real. The girl now a woman. A woman whose existence threatens everything the Kasabe Clan holds sacred. And though it may cost him his soul, he will have her.
CJ Avery has never felt right in her skin. A childhood marked by a trauma she can hardly remember and a youth spent as the unwanted reminder of a dear brother's death, she had only one place where her world felt whole. Her dreams. Dreams where she did not feel alone. Where another drifted at the fringes of her consciousness, a stalwart guardian, a friend, and as she grew, something deeper. Compelled by the need to know her past, she stumbled into a world she was not prepared for. A terrible destiny she can't surrender to, even as she craves this dark stranger who, somehow, is as familiar to her as her own breath.
Is love worth the destruction of everything you value?

Grabbing hold of my wrist, he tugs me towards him. His large arms wrapping around my torso as he pulls me closer, burying his face in my hair. "I can't give you a happily ever after Erin." He tells me, his voice breaking with what sounds like pain.
Reaching up with my free hand, my fingers threading through his hair until it catches on his silken ends. I tug. Hard. Ensuring that we have eye contact, I whisper. "I don't need tomorrow, all I want from you, right now, is tonight."

Trapped in a contract with no exit, an agreement made without her consent. Erin will learn that there is more to the end of her story, more than the life her father sold her into too, and it is going to be one HELL of a fight to come out on top.
