I owe him a debt. The kind money can’t repay. He wants something else: me, for one year. But I don’t even know who he is.... Three hundred sixty-five days and nights doing everything he wants...except that. “I’m not going to sleep with you,” I say categorically. He laughs.

I am not a liar or a thief or a criminal. At least, not anymore. But here I am doing the things that I promised myself I would never do again. Nicholas Crawford made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. He is dangerous and damaged but so am I. Our relationship is an addiction that we have to feed. Now, things are about to get even more complicated. Allegiances will be tested. Lies will be told. Truths will be revealed. We have both made promises that we can’t keep. The secrets we have uncovered only scratch the surface, and I’m afraid to find out what lies below.

His promise: Before the year is up, you’ll beg for it. My days of lying and stealing are over, but then Nicholas Crawford makes me an offer I can’t refuse. Spend a year pretending to be his significant other in exchange for 1,000,000 million dollars. I tried to put that part of my life, and those hard-won skills, behind me. But I need the money. He needs a partner. I told him that I’d never sleep with him. He promised me that I would end up begging for it. Now, I want him more than ever. Especially when I run my fingers over his chiseled body and he teases me with his tongue.

He used to be my only hope. Easton Bay. A man who’s as ruthless as he’s gorgeous, and as tender as he is cruel. His every touch sends shivers down my spine. I crave him. He saved me once, but will he do it again? He’s a mystery. An enigma. A suspense. There’s a darkness inside of him. It scares me to my very core. Yet, I pull closer with each breath.

Easton Bay has risked everything to protect me, but that doesn’t mean that he didn't do what they accused him of. I am in love with him. I am supposed to be his wife, but this changes everything. The king has turned on him. I’m Easton’s only hope. But it’s only a matter of time before they turn on me, too. Is my fate is sealed?

Contains books one and two of the Perfect Stranger series: The Perfect Stranger and The Perfect Cover.

I don’t belong here. I’m in way over my head. But I have debts to pay. They call my name. The spotlight is on. The auction starts. Mr. Black is the highest bidder. He’s dark, rich, and powerful. He likes to play games. The only rule is there are no rules. But it’s just one night. What’s the worst that can happen?

He has taken me away from everything that I know and love. I only have one choice: to do everything he says or my fate will be worse than death. What does he want? He wants to play a game. But I’m not the only one playing. There are others. Prettier, smarter, more charming than I am. But only one of us can be the winner. Only one of us can be his wife.

I’m a man who takes what he wants. What do I want? Her. Olive Kernes owed me a debt, and she thought that she had paid it back. But now, I want more. I want more than just her time. I want more than just her body. Her new life has torn us apart. Now, it’s up to me to make things right. I will make the pieces of our love fit back together, if it’s the last thing I do. But can I do it in time?

From the moment we met, Nicholas Crawford has been an enigma. He’s a man with an unknown past and a mysterious future. He’s a criminal, a liar, a mastermind, and the love of my life. I became a criminal for him. I rescued him. Now, it’s his turn to do something for me. When I discover that everything I believed about my family is a lie, I need his help to uncover the truth. Who am I? Where do I come from? Why is there so much deceit? I’m in a dark place, and I’m all alone. He is the only person who can pull me out of it.

There was a time when my debt was the only link we had. There was a time when I couldn’t tell him how much I loved him, and he couldn’t tell me. There was a time when I thought I could never have enough money. Now, everything is different. Nicholas Crawford is a stranger, who is becoming more strange with every moment. I used to think I could make a life with him, but now I’m not so sure.

Broken hearts do not fully heal. Even if they are mended, fissures remain, and over time, pressure can split open old wounds. There was a time when Isabelle and I were solid. There was a time when it was just the two of us against the world. I ignored the cracks beneath the surface. Now, everything is different. They are after us, and they are not going to give up no matter what. They have more resources, more man-power, more strength. What do we have? We used to have each other, but now...I’m no longer certain we have even that.

Epic love requires an epic sacrifice.... A long time ago, I borrowed money from a very powerful family. I paid my debt, but they have come for more. They want everything that I have built and they will hurt her if I refuse. Harley doesn’t understand why I have to break her heart. She hates me, but at least she’s okay...for now. But what happens when sending her away isn’t enough? What happens when I lose everything?

I used to be a recluse, but no more. Harley helped me fight my dark past, and now it's my turn to help her. But she’s not here. I have to find her. I have to show her what I’m willing to do for her. She’s not impressed by my money and wealth, and this is one thing I can’t buy. Am I willing to give up everything to have her?

Everything comes at a price. What if this one is too high even for him to pay? Jackson Ludlow, the recluse billionaire of New York, is beautiful and captivating but also damaged and alone. He thinks he is the only one with secrets, but he’s wrong. My past is coming for me. It’s forcing me back there: the place that ruined everything. I don’t want to go. He can’t make me. But there’s no way out.

¿Es este nuestro fin? Encontré una mujer sin la cual no puedo vivir. Hemos pasado por mucho. Hemos tenido nuestros contratiempos. Pero nuestro amor es más fuerte que nunca. Somos sobrevivientes. Pero cuando la alejan de mí en el altar, justo antes de que ella se convierta en mi esposa, todo se rompe. Haré cualquier cosa para liberarla. Haré cualquier cosa para hacerla mía para siempre. ¿Pero es eso suficiente? ¿Y si no lo es?

Yo no pertenezco a ella. Nací en la oscuridad, la vida me convirtió en un cínico incapaz de amar. Pero luego Ellie entró. Inocente, optimista, amable. Ella es lo opuesto a lo que merezco. La compré, pero ella me robó el corazón. Ahora mi negocio está en llamas. Solo tengo una oportunidad para hacerlo bien. Ahí es donde sucede... algo que nunca podré recuperar. No la engaño. No hay nadie más. Es peor que eso. Mucho peor. ¿Podemos sobrevivir?

Pueden tomar todo de mí, pero no pueden tomarla a ella. El señor Black está de vuelta. Para vengarse. - Necesito que firmes un contrato. - ¿Qué tipo de contrato? - Un contrato que te hará mía. Esta vez ella va a hacer todo lo que yo diga. Ella lo va a odiar y luego va a rogar por más. Este es el juego que jugamos. Es nuestro juego. ¿Pero qué pasa cuando los demás se enteran? ¿Perderemos todo?

No estamos hechos el uno para el otro. No debería haber quedado con él de nuevo después de nuestra primera noche juntos. Pero me muero de deseo por él. Soy adicta a él. Él es mi placer oscuro. El señor Black es Aiden. Aiden es el señor Black. Dos caras de la misma persona. Aiden es amable y dulce. El señor Black es exigente y se rige por las reglas. Cuando me invita a volver a su yate, no puedo decir que no. Otra subasta. Otra puja. Se supone que soy suya. Pero entonces todo va mal.

Yo no pertenezco a este lugar. Esta situación me supera. Pero tengo deudas que pagar. Pronuncian mi nombre. El foco está encendido. Comienza la subasta. El señor Black es el mejor postor. Es oscuro, rico y poderoso. Le gustan los juegos. La única regla es que no hay reglas. Pero es solo una noche. ¿Qué es lo peor que puede pasar?
