Selena just turned twenty, thinking adulthood meant freedom, until her world shatters. Her father, drowning in debt, makes a decision that changes everything: he's selling her off to pay what he owes. But he doesn't know the full story about the man he's bargaining with.
Jayc is a notorious figure, a drug lord with an iron grip on the streets, but also a shrewd real estate mogul, carefully crafting his public image. When Selena is handed over, Jayc reluctantly agrees. He's against it, against her, but the alliance serves a purpose: it strengthens his empire and preserves his carefully polished reputation.
Thrown into a life of guns, money, drugs, and ruthless power, Selena finds herself lost, isolated, and terrified. Every corner of Jayc's world is foreign, and every glance from him is cold, he refuses to let her soften him, refuses to show her mercy.
Yet in the midst of danger, wealth, and betrayal, Selena must navigate her new reality. She's forced to learn the rules of a world she never asked to enter, and confront the man who controls it. Will she survive in a life built on power, or will she lose herself to the very man she's been sold to?
