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...
