My father has chosen me to succeed him in the family business. But if I want the job, it comes with stipulations. And one of those stipulations is to never mix business with pleasure. AKA, don't sleep with anyone on the job. My father leads by example, and not once have I ever seen him get involved with anyone, not even his beautiful assistant. That was an easy rule to follow...until Axel. Axel is an expert distributor, someone who knows how to get...

"I've decided to keep her. I paid for her, after all. I should feel guilty for the decision I've made, but why? She prefers me to her previous master anyway.

So I keep her. And I'm not giving her up.

Balto stole me from Lucian without raising a finger. I thought I would finally be free, finally get my life back. But Balto has other plans for me. Now I'm his prisoner. He'll keep me and enjoy me as long as he wants. Until Lucian gives him back the Skull Diamond. I never want to return to Lucian again, not after being with a man like Balto. The only chance I have is to become more valuable than that diamond, to have Balto want me enough not to...

Carter Barsetti, son of Cane Barsetti, just wants to enjoy life in the fast lane, but when he's paid to rescue a man's daughter from The Underground, his life becomes more complicated than he could ever imagine.

I refuse to let this woman have any power over me. She's just my prisoner. But once my muse is in trouble, I'll do anything to save her. Anything to protect her. She was supposed to inspire me, please me. She was never supposed to care about me. Or make me care about her.
