It took me years to find the courage to speak to Luka. He seemed exactly like me. Intelligent. Focused. Serious.

But he's not the man I imagined.

His reality is cruel and dark. He traps me in his web, his power twisting tighter the more I struggle, until it's hopeless. I can't break free.

As he drags me unwillingly into his filthy world, I can't ignore the terrifying idea circling my mind. What if I belong here with him?

I am the woman men pay thousands of dollars to sleep with. I do what I love and what I'm so very good at.

Then he walks in and drops $30,000. He wants to talk. And kiss. And take me home.

In a single night, this man turns everything upside-down and has me breaking every rule I've lived by to keep men at a distance. I'm about to learn some lessons the hard way.

Don't tease him. Don't give him boundaries. And don't think you get a choice in who you love.

I sell sex, sin, and pleasure, but it isn't just my business, it's my entire life. I get off on the power of controlling it all.

She's the one woman I can't have.

She threatens everything, and yet I can't stay away. There's a beautiful, sexual creature inside this timid girl that's desperate to claw its way out. I'm going to set it free, even if it brings my empire tumbling down.

I have to believe she'll be worth all the little mistakes I've made.

No man can own me. I negotiate sex for money at an illicit blindfold club, but my body is not for sale. I don't submit and I don't surrender.

Until I meet him. This beautiful artist's tattoo now covers the scar of the worst mistake of my life.

Being with him could expose everything I've been hiding, and although there's so much at stake, I can't stop myself. The battle for control between us is too hot, too powerful to resist.

With all my dirty secrets, what's going to happen when he forces me to come clean?

Five years ago, we'd been together and on fire, but the flames burned us both. Now she's back in my life and is all my wildest fantasies in the flesh.

I want her. The desire is too powerful to argue against, but I'm not interested in what we had. This is an arrangement about pleasure and finding out who we are behind closed doors. There won't be talk of love or any sweet nothings whispered by either of us.

This time, I'll control the heat between us and make sure neither of our hearts get too close to the flames.

I would do anything for my dream job. Now I have to.

In order to save my skin at the office, I'm forced to sell it at an exclusive and illegal blindfold club. He paid thousands of dollars for one night to own me, but when my blindfold comes off, I want more. More nights, more rules, and more from this unavailable and uncompromising man.

Rule number one, no questions. Rule number two, no lies. But, rule number three? That's the hardest one to obey.

Vasilije Markovic is the prince of the Serbian mafia and one of the most powerful men in Chicago. His smile may be razor sharp, but he's crueler than the devil.

I'm playing a dangerous game and betting my life I'm going to win. I pretend to be his pawn. I do as he says and move where he tells me, letting him think he's in control as I position myself for revenge.

Every turn brings us closer. His grin doesn't seem as evil when we're alone. Behind closed doors, I welcome his unrelenting and vicious personality. He's confessed all his secrets, but I'm holding one...
