“I bought you to be my whore.”

Hendrix Parker lost it all four years ago. Angry at the world, he's become an asshole—a bitter shell of the man his family once loved. A recluse, he’s now forced to leave his sanctuary in the Florida Keys and become an active member of the real estate development community he now dominates.

Problem is he's all alone and needs a buffer. Someone to draw attention away from him...

Beau Carter is young, beautiful, and with a bright future ahead of her. Her dreams of becoming the first woman in her family to graduate from college are just within grasp, when the financial aid runs out. Up to her eyeballs in debt, she works night and day to make ends meet, but even that can only last for so long.

A contract. Six Months. The catch?
I'll become the sugar baby to a very rich man. Someone I find myself wanting to punch in the face and throw myself at, on the same breath.

Craving Sugar

“Be back.” A relieved breath left me and I stood, kissed my nymph’s forehead, and walked toward the front. People around me clapped, some even held a hand out for me to shake.


Standing on that stage, I looked at the sea of people as I spoke. Tried to focus on thanking them for the recognition - mentioning my staff for all their hard work and dedication, which made H. P. Builders a success.


Yet every few seconds I strayed. Always back to her.


The words like a moth to a flame had never rang truer then at that moment.


Shaking the governor’s hand, I stood there for a few seconds after, while they captured their photo-op. Smiled, while my mind and body fought for control. Dominion over my actions.


One wanted to run away, while the other just needed her close. A rollercoaster of emotions that drowned me behind the pressure of indecision.
