June Luper’s life takes a terrifying turn when she’s abducted and sold at an underground auction. Stripped of her freedom and dignity, she finds herself purchased for an astronomical price by Cam Watson, a man from her past. Cam, a wealthy and conflicted figure, had once married June in a cold, contractual arrangement to appease his controlling family. Now, as he re-enters her life, their past collides with the present in complicated and messy ways.

June is a fighter—she’s determined to regain her independence and refuses to let her trauma define her. Her resilience clashes with Cam’s guilt and his growing realization that he may feel more for her than he ever admitted. At the same time, Cam is tied to Stella, a woman from his past who is pregnant and deeply insecure about her place in his life. Stella’s manipulative tendencies and jealousy fuel a tense dynamic between the three.

The story explores love, sacrifice, and finding strength in vulnerability. While June struggles to heal and rebuild her life, Cam is torn between his obligations and his feelings. Their journey together is raw and emotional, showing how love and redemption can emerge from even the darkest moments.

A tale of empowerment, resilience, and the complexity of human connection, Red String of Love reminds us that freedom and self-worth are worth fighting for, even when love tries to hold us back.

Red String of Love

For the first time in months, I slept soundly. No nightmares. No tossing and turning. Just pure, undisturbed rest. But now, as I slowly wake up, the pounding in my head from last night’s drinking reminds me that peace never lasts. 


Something warm and heavy is wrapped around my waist. At first, I think it’s the blankets, but when I shift slightly, the grip tightens. My breath hitches. 


Before I could even open my eyes, a deep, sleepy voice brushed against my neck. 


"Don’t move, Kitten, or you’ll have to deal with the consequences." 


The deep, husky voice sends a shiver down my spine. I freeze, my heart hammering against my ribs. Slowly, I open my eyes, and reality crashes into me like a tidal wave. 


How the hell did this happen? When did he get here? How did he even know I was staying here? 


Before I can even process, my gaze lands on Chris, sleeping soundly on my bed. And just like that, memories from last night rush back.
