She needed money. He needed her. Neither expected the price she'd have to pay. May Anderson has learned to survive a life she never imagined for herself. Trapped in a miserable marriage to an abusive husband, she struggles to pay her university tuition while hiding her bruises behind makeup and her pain behind a smile. Then she meets Dominic Gray. Cold, handsome, and dangerously difficult to read, Dominic offers her a deal she can hardly afford to refuse. No promises. No commitment. Just a private arrangement with enough money to keep her dreams alive. May thinks it's simple. She gives him what he wants, and he gives her what she needs. But Dominic has a secret. He's spent years searching for a woman he can never seem to find. Countless faces have disappointed him, until May walks into his life with the exact features he's been looking for. She's not the woman he remembers. But she's close enough. To Dominic, May is more than a lover. She's a project—a woman he intends to study, understand, and reshape into the person he believes she's meant to be. And May has no idea that the man paying for her nights has already begun planning her future. She thinks she can keep their relationship strictly business. She thinks she can walk away whenever she's ready. But what happens when the man who calls her his little project decides he's no longer willing to let her go? Some arrangements come with strings attached. And Dominic Gray has never been a man who lets go of what he wants.
