When sensually-inspired art student, Charlie Williams, is sought out for erotic pleasure and fantasy, she jumps at the chance to escape her haunted and agonizing past—not realizing that she just secured an even more terrifying future. Led into a world of danger and betrayal, she finds secrets she was never meant to uncover. One of those secrets is Cameron Hardy. He could be the answer she’s always been looking for, or her final mistake. The deal offers security. The money promises financial freedom. But is it too good to be true?

The mansion was gone. My nightmare was over. From the ashes of Cee, I became Charlie again—with him. We are two broken souls who have found peace in each other’s arms. We paint a brighter future that’s filled with art and life and love. The seduction of our shadowed pasts pulls at us, but as long as we are together, light will triumph. Cameron brought the sun to me, and for that, I can never repay him. But, when my past and present collide, he might never be able to forgive me. Some debts can only be paid in pain.
