“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.

In the six months that followed, he’d been a godsend. Calmed Gloria down. Made her happy. Truly happy for the first time in her life.


She’d always loved Aubrey, but was missing something. Made her search for it in all the wrong places. Now I knew why; he was her person.


The cool breeze off the water swept through the small ceremony, causing a few to grumble about their hair. Not me. I welcomed the reprieve from the warm weather in the middle of winter.


We just didn’t do that holiday down here. Five days of fifty-degree weather, and then we were back to scorching. Was a blessing and curse.
