Aria
All I’ve ever wanted is to walk the runway, though I’d settle for just being able to pay my rent. But when a modeling gig turns into something much worse, I find myself on a different kind of stage—and suddenly my virginity is for sale to the highest bidder.
I’m surrounded by men who would harm me, but when I spot his ocean-blue eyes through the crowd I somehow feel…calm.
And once I’m bought and paid for…I know I’m saved. It doesn’t make any sense, but I find myself wanting to be owned by this man, despite his darkness.
Cillian
My single-minded hunt for the man who killed my sister has brought me to this disgusting place, where sick men buy and sell women like objects. I try to stay focused on my goal, my revenge, but when I see her on that stage, everything changes.
Aria is a distraction, but a welcome one. I can’t let her go home with anyone but me.
Next to her sweet innocence, I’ve never felt like more of a monster. She deserves better than me, but now that I’ve bought her I don’t want to let her go…
I’ve built myself from the ground up, into the powerful man I am today. But can I make myself into the man she deserves?
Triggers: public steamy scene, some violence (mostly implied), and betrayal.
