She grew up believing love always came with a price. Bruises you hide. Apologies you swallow. A body the world teaches you to apologize for. When her boyfriend’s gambling debt finally catches up with him, the men he owes don’t come for his kneecaps. They come for her. Taken as collateral by a feared crime boss, she prepares for the worst—only to find herself in the hands of a man who never planned to hurt her at all. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, she’s forced to confront a truth she’s never allowed herself to believe: maybe love was never supposed to cost her everything. And maybe the most dangerous man she’s ever met is the one who sees her as priceless.

My mom often makes an example out of someone when it comes to parenting. Unfortunately, I'm that someone, while my little brother, Raymond Nelson, benefits from it. Ever since I was four years old, my mom had been using this method. If Raymond breaks a bowl, I'm the one kneeling on the floor to pick up the pieces. If Raymond destroys something belonging to someone else, I'm the one writing the reflection report on his behalf. Mom tells me, "You're the older sister here. Since you can't keep your brother in line, you're the one at fault." But Raymond can never get rid of his bad habit of stealing and lying. When Franklin Harris, the owner of a grocery store, comes knocking on our door, Raymond points at me once again. "She was the one who stole your money!" In order to help Raymond get rid of this problematic habit of his, Mom decides to hand me over to the owner. "Sorry, Franklin. It's my fault for not raising my child well. I'll give my daughter to you. You can do whatever you want to her, be it scolding her or beating her up." Little does she know that I will never go home after Mr. Harris takes me away.

To keep her life, she had to marry him, the ruthless Alpha who could destroy her with a single command. She pretended to be someone else and get married to him, the same thing she ran away from. Now, every glance he throws her feels like a game of predator and prey. Every touch is a warning. Every word is a test. I ran from one bondage to find myself in another. And this time, the key to her freedom is in his hands.

La première période de chaleurs après ma transformation en loup-garou, mon petit ami Florian a rompu avec moi. Je n'arrêtais pas de pleurer, non pas parce que j'étais triste, mais parce que la douleur des chaleurs était sur le point de m'engloutir. J'ai tiré désespérément sur sa manche, essayant de l'embrasser de force pour apaiser ma souffrance. Mais il m'a poussée avec impatience vers son frère en disant : « Mon frère, Camille a trop bu et ne pouvait pas se contrôler, peux-tu la calmer pour moi ? » En voyant Louis s'approcher, mon petit ami a ajouté à voix basse : « Louis, garde un œil sur elle, ne laisse aucun autre homme s'approcher. Je romps juste temporairement avec elle, mais une fois que j'en aurai assez de m'amuser, je reviendrai avec elle. » Louis a hoché la tête, m'a portée dans la voiture et m'a consolée avec douceur : « Tu souffres beaucoup ? » Incapable de supporter la douleur des chaleurs, j'ai attrapé sa cravate en pleurant et l'ai supplié : « Aide-moi... » Les pupilles de Louis se sont rétrécies, sa voix était rauque : « Comment veux-tu que je t'aide ? » J'ai collé mes lèvres aux siennes et ajouté : « Embrasse-moi... ou laisse-moi t'embrasser. » À la fin de ce baiser passionné, ma souffrance s'est largement apaisée. J'ai regardé Louis, dont le bout des oreilles était rouge, et j'ai de nouveau attrapé sa cravate. « Peux-tu me raccompagner chez moi ? »
