She stepped into the devil’s playground. He decided she would never leave. Lucian Vale built The Black Ledger on control, not weakness. Every escort, every contract, every client serves a purpose—and emotions have no place in his empire. Then Sienna Knight walks through his doors—reckless, untrained, and too tempting to ignore. She has no experience, no idea of the power she wields. If she wants to survive, she needs guidance. And against his better judgment, Lucian decides to train her. Under his instruction, Sienna learns the art of seduction, the rules of control. But as their lessons turn intimate—each touch more dangerous than the last—Lucian breaks his most sacred never touch what doesn’t belong to you. He tells himself it’s just training. Until another man tries to claim her. Because from the moment Sienna walked into his world, she was his. And if anyone else dares to touch her… he’ll burn The Black Ledger to the ground.

She auctions herself to forget him. He outbids everyone to claim her. The Black Ledger Auction is the ultimate bidding war—where powerful men compete for elite contracts, and every deal is final. This year, Cassidy Hayes offers something no one ever has before—her virginity. She doesn’t believe in love. Jaxon Kane—her brother’s best friend and first heartbreak—made sure of that. The Black Ledger was supposed to help her move on. She never expected him to be in the audience. Jaxon swore to stay away, but when he sees Cassidy on that stage, offering herself to men who don’t deserve her, he does the only thing he can. He outbids them all. Now, she’s bound to him by contract, but Jaxon has no intention of being forgotten. Because he never let go. And now, he never will.
