Esa Lane is running out of time. Her future hinges on money she doesn’t have, and desperation pushes her somewhere she never thought she’d be—bartending at an underground club where everything has a price. She’s here for the money. That’s it. But what starts as survival quickly spirals into something messier, with a man who tempts her to lose more than she ever intended. Some mistakes come easy. Leaving them behind isn’t always as simple. Previously tucked away in An Erotic Anthology—this novella now stands on its own.
