She signed away her body to save her dreams. He thought he was buying a temporary possession. He never expected to own his heart.
Brilliant architect Sawyer Mcintyr is one signature away from ruin. The only lifeline is a contract with the city’s most feared predator, Sebastian Blackwell—a man who builds empires with ice in his veins and breaks hearts for sport. The terms are absolute and degrading: for one year, her body will belong to him, her submission his to command.
In the gilded cage of his penthouse, Sawyer is swept into a world of dark pleasure and intoxicating control, a game where he makes the rules and she is forced to play. But Sebastian didn't count on his new associate being a woman of fierce intelligence and unyielding spirit. He didn't count on her seeing the man behind the monster.
As their dangerous game ignites into an all-consuming passion, the contract that bound them becomes a fragile leash on their desires. When ghosts from Sebastian’s past threaten to tear them apart, they must make a choice: cling to the ruins of their agreement, or risk everything on a new design—one built not on ownership, but on a love more dangerous and powerful than any contract they could ever sign.
