and there are worse things in life than death.HannahFor seven years I've kept my past hidden, rejecting the man I love to keep him and his Lords brothers safe.

    Having invested years into saving the family business from the ashes his father left, he has no time for a serious relationship. He has no need for a woman in his life and dates his high school sweetheart only because she is equally rich, extremely independent, and looks good on his arm. But when she ducks out on him on the most important weekend of the year, he is desperate. Dena Gysler wants nothing to do with her rich, arrogant employer outside of work. She cleans his office and he has no idea she exists. That suits her just fine because in the five years of taking out his trash, he’s never once acknowledged her existence. When he offers her ten thousand dollars to accompany him on his weekend business conference, Dena is appalled. But ten thousand dollars to a cleaning lady is a lot of money to refuse. Dena and Chandler agree to a strictly-business plan that will benefit them both. And falling in love is not a part of that plan. But then again, plans change.

    And now I have to sell my body and soul to fix it… I never wanted to be there in the first place, working in Brock Wrentham’s mansion, under his watchful, relentless gaze. And the last thing I ever expected was to mess up so badly that I’d be in his debt and at his mercy. The only way out? Submit to ten punishments of Brock’s choosing, each one intended to pay off the money I cost him with my colossal screw up. Yes, the punishments involve me in various states of undress. Doing things with Brock, things I’ve never done with another man. Things I definitely never imagined myself doing, much less with one of the world’s most eligible bachelors. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it. I do enjoy it, more and more each time. But as I slip further under his spell, I start to wonder who the real Brock Wrentham is, and what he’s hiding. Because there’s something so terrible in his past, it makes my punishments look like a walk in the park. I don’t know if the fragile trust we’ve built can ever hope to survive the truth. The truth of who he is, what he’s done, and why he wants me to be the one to pay for it all…
