A blackjack dealer. A billionaire who collects debts in flesh. One contract. One year. One Protocol.
Chloe Henderson deals blackjack at The Sovereign Casino. She's been raising her addict brother since she was eighteen — scraping rent together while Bennett bleeds her dry at the tables.
Then Bennett loses two-point-three million dollars to the Moreno crime family.
And offers them his sister in his place.
Sebastian York intercepts the deal.
The reclusive billionaire who paid off Bennett's debt has been watching Chloe for weeks. He doesn't want one night. He wants a contract. One year of her body, her obedience, and her compliance — guaranteed by a daily dose of a clear liquid he calls the Protocol. Refuse, and Carlo Moreno gets the phone call she won't survive.
Chloe signs.
Locked inside a penthouse, leashed by a drug that strips her defenses and reveals every honest thing she's spent her life burying, she discovers Sebastian's obsession was never about the debt. He didn't buy her body. He came to collect the woman underneath.
But the Morenos haven't forgotten what they were promised. Someone inside Sebastian's empire is feeding the wolves. And the Protocol that was meant to ensure her surrender is teaching them both that owning a woman is not the same as keeping her.
A year was the contract. Forever wasn't supposed to be on the table.
Tropes you'll find inside:
