I told myself I was okay with it – my boyfriend, other women, the arrangement -and tonight was my turn to play. Hidden behind a mask, I looked for some fun at a decadent party of the rich and powerful.

Then Landon Montefeller walked my way, and every lie I’d ever told myself started to crumble.

He could have had anyone in that room. Dozens of women draped in diamonds and desperation, offering themselves like gifts at his altar, the most dangerous billionaire here. The epitome of tall, dark and handsome. But he chose me. Then he paid a billion dollars to make sure I knew it.

One night. That was the deal.

One night of everything I’d never let myself want – dark, filthy, unspeakable. Then I’d run away before I could get my hopes up or have my heart broken.

But Landon Montefeller has decided one night isn’t enough, and men like him don’t ask. They take.

I know exactly why I need to fight this. His world will swallow me whole. His obsession will ruin me. Whatever he feels right now will fade, and when it does, there won’t be enough of me left to pick up.

But he’s already under my skin like some form of evil. He pulls me somewhere I can’t come back from, a place filled with guilty desires and forbidden pleasures.

Landon’s obsession is irresistible, corrupting, but it comes with a price.

And the devil won’t settle for anything less than my soul.
