Welcome to Crimson Hill, Texas
Kaiori Hardict is a quiet, curvy, soft-spoken virgin trying to survive while raising her deaf siblings. She's tired. Tired of life playing in her face. Tired of struggling. And definitely tired of being invisible.
Qorey Washington, a dangerous, seductive millionaire who owns the most exclusive strip club and brothel in the South. When he offers her a deal that could change everything, she doesn't realize it'll cost her peace, control, and maybe even her heart.
What starts as a contract turns into a mind-bending game of obsession, secrets, trauma, and love so twisted it might just heal them both...or destroy them entirely.
This ain't your average love story.
This is a slow burn with sharp edges.
