He was a sacrifice. Now he's the weapon.
Julian Vance had a future mapped to the millimeter — Columbia, a Guggenheim fellowship, a life built from blueprints and certainty. Then his sister gambled away everything they had left, and the debt landed in the hands of Hell's Reckoning MC. To save her, Julian walked into the clubhouse and offered the only collateral he had: himself.
Bones is the club's Vice President and its interrogator — the man who breaks people for a living and doesn't feel a thing while he does it. Julian was supposed to be one more asset to process and discard. Instead, Bones finds something that doesn't break the way it should. Something that goes quiet and pliant under his hands, then looks back at him with cold, calculating eyes.
The club bought Julian's mind. Bones wants the rest.
The longer Julian survives, the more useful he becomes — and the more dangerous it is to belong to a man who only knows how to own what he can't stand to share. Julian tells himself he's playing the long game. That the collar is strategy. That he's still in control.
He isn't. And the worst part is how much he likes it.
No safe words. No redemption. No way out.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
