Sydney Bart's life was a ticking time bomb. Crushed under the weight of student loans, her mother's mounting hospital bills, and the debt her father left behind, she found herself with no way out. At 18, she made a choice-a choice that paid the bills but buried her in a life she never wanted. Stripping became her means of survival, and now, at 23, her world is still a web of complications, sacrifices, and secrets.
But when Aleksandr Sidorov, a powerful and dangerously captivating figure from the Russian mafia, steps into her life with a proposition, Sydney faces a decision that could either save her-or destroy everything she's fought for. A deal that promises freedom, but at what cost? Some offers you can't refuse... but can she survive the consequences?
[COMPLETED]
Alexis was your typical everyday good girl with excellent grades, a single best friend, an annoying elder brother and a family that loved her to no end.
When senior year rolled up, Alexis wasn't looking to expand her small social circle of friends or put herself out there but things are meant to change, after all, change is the only constant thing in life.
Paired to do a group assignment with the school's three new mysterious gorgeous looking guys at the start of the term, Alexis is tested in more ways than one.
Cheesy pick up lines, rude guys, charming smiles, motorcycle rides, coffee dates and long hours together is all it takes to make her question everything she ever thought she knew.
But what happens when she falls for one of them? The one with the dark hair and green eyes? What will she do when he finds out about the secret she's been harbouring all her life? She begins to regret her decision and wish she'd met him long before, but life has its own way of playing with one's feelings. Will her secret break their newly found relationship or will it make it grow stronger?
