I sold my body to my husband, Cade Sterling.
One hundred thousand dollars. That was his price for a night with me. The only thing keeping our son, Leo, alive.
My stepmother whispered lies in his ear, and he believed them. He forced another woman into our bed while I was forced onto an operating table.
"You're pregnant," the nurse said, her voice a sterile blade. "Mr. Sterling has requested a termination."
Then, I was forced to watch my son Leo, my only reason for living, leap from a cliff to save me from further torment.
He was gone.
My husband had murdered our first child, and now our second. There was nothing left to live for.
In the cold, scarlet water of the bathtub, I finally let go.
But as darkness claimed me, I didn't know the truth was a far more cruel and twisted thing than I could have ever imagined.
And that Cade Sterling, my tormentor, was about to pay a price far greater than money could ever cover.

His Ruinous Price

She had heard about Dawson and Darby’s failure last night.


Her men had reported back that Aria was taken away by Cade, who had appeared out of nowhere to rescue her.


From her vantage point in the car, she could clearly see the fresh love bites on Aria’s neck, confirming her worst fears, and the thought of them having sex last night drove her to the brink of madness. Anger and bitterness consumed her, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, drawing blood.


You should have been dead and buried long ago! I should have killed you myself last night!


But it’s not too late. Aria, go to hell!


Kendra slammed her foot on the accelerator, launching the van out from its hiding place at full speed, aiming directly for Aria.


By the time Aria noticed the danger, it was already too late. The van was bearing down on her at a terrifying speed, and she knew there was no way she could escape.
