I loved her like a sister forever ago. Before life served us tragedy with a bitter cherry on top. Before I learned love isn't a damn fairy tale. Before I became a single dad. Protecting my little girl is all I still care about. Kendra is my lifeline if she'll just play along. Her job is easy. Wear my ring. Turn my scowl into a family man's smile. Help save my daughter from a scorched earth custody fight. She gets the Cinderella treatment in return. My money, my mansion, my reputation. Simple. Painless. Mutual.

The victim of a human trafficking ring, I was confined to a tiny bedroom with seven other women. The conditions were horrific. They'd taken my freedom, my clothes, and, eventually, what little hope I clung to. Then, one night, we heard gunshots.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that one day I would save him from his.

I buy women to lock them up and make them submit to my will. But this time, I want the real thing. Real fear, real submission. Someone special, who doesn't play a role.
