Elena Ward has spent three years planning the perfect revenge. She has a false name, a forged past, and a contract written in her own hand—a contract designed to place her inside the house of the man who destroyed her father. Damian Vance is cold, powerful, and untouchable. He believes he bought a wife for ten million dollars. He believes the contract is his. He is wrong. Elena wrote the contract. She chose the terms. She walked into his world with her eyes open, ready to tear it down from the inside. But the Vance house is full of locked doors, buried secrets, and a father whose cruelty runs deeper than Elena ever imagined. As she gets closer to the truth, she discovers that the man she came to destroy is not the monster she needed him to be—and that the real monster has been watching her from the beginning. Caught between revenge and desire, Elena must decide how far she is willing to go to finish what her father started. Because in this game, the contract is only the beginning. And love was never part of the deal.
