He bought me for a week in his mountain fortress.
Now he’s discovered my son … who has eyes just like his.
Julian Sterling isn't just a ruthless billionaire real estate mogul—he’s an addiction carved out of pure sin. Broad, towering, and lethal in a bespoke suit, he has the kind of chiseled jaw, piercing ice-blue eyes, and corded, ink-mapped muscle that make women surrender their common sense with a single, hooded glance.
Two years ago, my corrupt firm traded me to him like corporate collateral. For seven snowy nights in Stowe, he owned my body. His hands were ravenous, his mouth was merciless, and his touch set fires in my veins that burned away every defense I had.
Until I found the bill of sale for my body in his office.
I fled into a midnight blizzard with nothing to my name—except the life secretly growing inside me.
For two years, I lived in the shadows, fighting to raise our son alone. I thought I was safe. I thought Julian Sterling was a ghost who lived only in my filthiest, most breathless memories.
Then I accidentally bumped into him at a Newport party.
One look at the toddler in my arms with his exact blue eyes, and Julian locks the door behind him. The ruthless predator who once dominated Wall Street has completely taken over—dark, savage, and terrifyingly possessive.
“You stole two years of my son’s life, sweetheart,” he growls, crowding me against the wall until his searing heat swallows me whole. “Now you’re going to spend the rest of your life making it up to me in my bed.”
He doesn't want an apology. He wants retribution. And this time, he’s not letting me leave his mountain until he’s branded every inch of my skin all over again.
