Ariel Hart was desperate. Xavier King was ruthless. And the contract bound them both. For two months. She sold herself to survive. He bought her to punish the past. To save her dying mother, she enters a secret auction meant for the rich and powerful—and sells her virginity to the highest bidder. One night with a complete stranger for enough money to help her mother. The winner is a billionaire who doesn’t just want one night. He wants two months of her life. His contract is cruel. Live with him for two months. Belong to him until the deadline expires. He tells himself he chose her because she looks like his ex-wife. He tells himself it’s revenge. Two months living under his roof. Two months of temptation. Two months before she must give herself to him—or lose everything. He watches her like he hates her. Touches her like he wants her. And punishes her for looking exactly like the woman who once broke him and left him for dead. Every glance between them burns. Every rule is meant to be broken. And they never got enough of each other. But when his past comes back to claim him—with a child and a lie that could ruin him and their happy moments, she learns the most dangerous truth of all: She was never just a purchase. She was a replacement. He never truly loved her at first– just her lookalike. He had lied to her from the beginning of the auction to that exact moment. And falling for the man who bought her may cost her far more than her innocence. Now, one question remains: How will she survive her bleeding heart at the end of these two months?
