Catherine's life shatters the moment her father dies. By day, she balances college textbooks; by night, she strips to survive. Everything changes when she's summoned to a billionaire's private room—a man whose gaze ignites something dangerous and irresistible within her. "Every second I can't have you is torture," he rasps, pulling her close. "I burn for you." She trembles against the wall. "I ache for you." What begins as a transaction becomes something far darker and more consuming. He offers her a contract—one that promises to transform everything she thought she knew about desire, power, and herself. As their arrangement deepens into obsession, Catherine discovers that some cages are gilded with passion, and some chains bind tighter than any vow. In a world of wealth, control, and forbidden hunger, they're about to discover just how much they're willing to sacrifice for each other.
