“Everything has a price,” he said coldly. “Even you.”
Aria James had it all—beauty, privilege, and a picture-perfect fiancé. But when her father's company collapses in scandal, she’s left bankrupt, humiliated, and abandoned.
Desperate to protect what’s left of her family’s reputation, she agrees to participate in a charity auction, offering a “date” to the highest bidder.
She never expected the bidder to be Leon Castellan—the ruthless billionaire known for his icy heart and deadly business instincts.
His offer? Thirty days.
No escape. No emotions. Just obedience.
To him, Aria is nothing more than a temporary possession. A beautiful distraction he can control… and discard.
But as boundaries blur and secrets unravel, Aria discovers that Leon’s interest in her is far from random. And the real reason he bought her might destroy them both.
He doesn’t believe in love.
She doesn’t believe in ownership.
But what happens when obsession turns into something more dangerous than either expected?
