Mature Romance 21+ Izabelle trembles as she stands at the threshold of an irreversible decision—sacrificing her innocence to save her father from ruin. Tonight marks the end of her virginity and the beginning of a dangerous game she never asked to play. "You came," growls Jordan Heron, a ruthless mafia boss whose reputation precedes him. This man is brutality incarnate, a force of nature wrapped in darkness and danger. "Is this what they call pleasure?"

Now Izabelle belongs to Jordan, bound by a contract written in desperation. What price will Izabelle pay for her family's salvation? And what happens when the mafia boss begins to see her as more than just collateral?
