Julian Blackwell waited seventeen years to claim Clara Hayes. Now he owns her debt—and he's collecting.
Clara is days away from losing everything. Her family's ranch is drowning in debt, foreclosure is imminent, and pride is the last thing she can afford. Salvation comes from the one man she swore she'd never accept help from—Julian Blackwell, the ruthless billionaire who dismantled her father's empire and never forgot the girl who laughed at him in high school.
His offer is simple.
One year. Complete surrender.
In exchange, Julian will save her ranch—free and clear.
The contract gives him total control. Her time. Her surrender. Her body. Julian doesn't want a temporary arrangement—he wants Clara bound by rules he's been perfecting for seventeen years. What begins as blackmail turns into something far more dangerous as forced proximity, obsession, and undeniable desire blur the line between captivity and craving.
Julian Blackwell is everything Clara should fear—possessive, calculating, and devastatingly in control. Yet the more she resists, the more her body betrays her. Because the terrifying truth is this: part of her has always belonged to him.
Now Clara must decide whether to fight for her independence—or surrender to the man who built an empire just to own her.
A dark enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance featuring blackmail, forced proximity, obsession, and a ruthless battle of wills.
This full-length standalone delivers high heat, emotionally intense power play and surrender, and a morally gray hero who refuses to let her go—until surrender feels like the only way to win.
No cliffhanger. Guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Romance
