The price of him
Updated at Sep 1, 2026, 06:20
Vivienne Calloway is one of the best forensic accountants in New York. She is also, as of six weeks ago, compromised.Her brother's medical debt has been purchased by the wrong people. The price of its erasure: walk into Dominic Ashworth's company, audit his Pacific subsidiary accounts, and surface the findings she has been told to surface. Simple. Clean. One report and it's over.Except the accounts are clean.Except the man is not what she was told.Except on day two she finds something in a version history that was almost — but not quite — successfully erased, and the name she finds there changes the shape of everything she thought she understood about why she was sent here.Dominic Ashworth built his empire from the ruins of his father's collapsed company. He has been fighting the same enemy for twenty years. He knew an operative was coming before she arrived. What he did not know was that the operative would find the version history on day two, sit on it for forty-eight hours, and then walk into his office and tell him the truth.He was not prepared for someone who told the truth.Neither of them was prepared for what happened after.The Price of Him is a slow-burn contemporary billionaire romance with dark edges and real stakes — two people who are equally dangerous to each other, a conspiracy twenty years in the making, a foundation built in a dead woman's name, and the specific, hard-won truth that some things are only honored by using them.200 chapters. First-person female POV. R18+.She came to find fraud. She found him instead. The price of that was everything — and worth every cent.
