“"You're a long way from safe, Miss Allard," he whispers, his fingers tracing the strap of my bra until I shiver. "If you want to turn around, I'd suggest you do so now." I stare up at him, watching as his dilated grey eyes dip to my cleavage. "Where will I go, Mr. Sinclair?" I ask, pulling him closer until our lips are inches apart. "Where can I go that you won't find me?" *** 24-year-old Ava Jade Allard has a few problems, but like most issues, there's nothing a little money can't fix. So when Ava attends an art show to sell a few of her paintings to some of the richest, high-society members of New York, she's sure she can settle her problems with one lucrative deal. In and out, just like she hoped. But New York seems set on eating Ava whole, and as one mess leads to another, she finds herself in the arms of Billionaire Leonel Sinclair, a ruthless CEO who is still dealing with the consequences of a scandal he was entangled in 4 years ago. Now more desperate than when she started, Ava reluctantly turns to this stone-cold, terrifying, but somehow insanely hot Billionaire to help her set right what was wronged 4 years ago, not just for herself, but for him as well. With one contract marriage, Ava signs away her single status, anonymity, and possibly her soul. Will this contract fix the many traumatic wrongs of her past, or will Ava crumble under the weight of her grey-eyed, stoic CEO, whom she seems less and less able to keep her body and heart away from with each passing day?”
