About the book
They call me arrogant, cold, and cruel. The CEO with no heart.
And they’re right… until she walks back into my life, and everything changes.
Ten years ago, I broke the heart of the girl I loved, and she ran from me, never giving me a chance to explain, leaving me devastated and crushed with guilt.
Now Lottie is back and working in my club. Which gives me the chance to put things right. I know she’s hiding a secret from me, but I can’t walk away from her. When she enters an auction to sell her body, I refuse to let another man touch what is mine.
I offer her a way out, a marriage of convenience that will benefit us both. The contract says we’ll stay married for a year.
But the truth is, she was mine then, she’s mine now, and I’m never letting her go again.
When I was young, Lincoln Coldwell was the hero in my story. The boy who promised me forever. Until the day I found out it was all a lie and realized a girl like me could never be enough for the billionaire tycoon.
Now, ten years later, he’s the villain who holds my future in his hands.
Drowning in a sea of debt and determined to protect the one person that means the world to me, I reach for a lifeline and agree to auction off the one thing I have left to sell: my virginity.
With no place to hide, I face the man who still makes my pulse quicken. But I have demands of my own. I’ll give him my body for a year, but he’ll never have my heart again. And he can never find out the truth of what happened ten years ago.
What readers are saying
★★★★★Amazing from start to finish . Spice and a gripping story and complex characters and personalities. This was a very good book and I will be reading all the rest .
★★★★★L Knight is a new author for me, after seeing this on TikTok and read the Blurb I knew this was a book for me. Lottie and Lincoln was a rollercoaster of a read these known each other from a young age, Lincoln character was a bit of a love hurt for me the younger Lincoln was a delight but the older version angered me but you do see the real Lincoln by the book finishes. Lottie what i love in a FMC strong but no she can show her vulnerability at time. The friend group Lincoln has are a delight and I’m looking forward to reading them all. 5🌟
★★★★★Wow read this book in one go could not put it down. Love books when the history of both characters goes back to when they were children. Linc always loved Violet but lots of things got in the way especially his obnoxious father. So glad he got what he deserved in the end. Read the bonus scene but would loved for a second one to find out about the triplets. ❤️
★★★★★I’m the first to say this isn’t my usual read, but. OH. MY. GOD it is now!!! This story reminded me of the Mills and Boon stories I used to read but with steroids!! It was completely addictive from the very beginning and didn’t let up until my heart embraced the HEA. Linc…what a guy!! I mean he’s seriously hot!! A total alpha male, and then some. Dominant, ruthless yet soft and gentle and protective of those he loves. He’s larger than life and the epitome of what we imagine our ideal man would be. I love the depth of his character. His thought process as he weaves his way down the path to having the one thing that makes him whole, however much he fights it along the way. I love that Linc isn’t perfect. He’s quick to jump to conclusions - unfortunately for him, the wrong ones - and acts in a way that causes pain in those around him and himself. But I think it makes him more relatable and life-like because let’s face it, life is not a fairytale. Lottie is a beautiful character. She’s strong and a fighter for those she loves. Protecting and supporting her brother is so heartwarming. The lengths she will go to to provide for him what he needs is awe inspiring. To have loved and lost and fought to pick up the pieces of her life shows her grit and determination. Never having forgot her love yet knowing she had to move forward with her life. It’s beautiful that they find each other again. Utterly addictive to watch them warily circle each other. The steam throughout this story is amazing and totally engrossing. You’re enveloped in the passion and chemistry, and let me tell you IT WAS HOT!!! I’m actually surprised the heat didn’t burn my kindle. I love the dark side of romance and L Knight used it to perfection in this story. The right amount of heat and steam, dominance and softness, love and pain, hurt and happiness. This story truly has everything. It pulls you in from the first moment, helps to strap you in and takes you on the most unique, special and hot ride of your life. I loved the added dynamic of Linc’s partners and friends and feverently hope that this is the first of many books of this kind. It is truly beautiful And I am so glad to have found it. As you can probably tell I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Easily a 50 million star review. This is definitely a book I will be buying in ebook format and paperback. Thankyou L Knight, your talent is limitless.
