I left everything behind—family, friends, school. It seemed like a good idea at the time. My only option, really, until I realized running from a police officer isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.It’s been exactly three-hundred and sixty-five days since I left home, but I’m finally ready to take the step I should have taken a year ago. I’m done hiding. I’m done running. I’m going to take my life back.It was supposed to be easy. A meeting with Jason Pierce, a private investigator, was set up for me. All I had to do was go to him, let him do his thing, and then I could go home, or so I thought.That is, until I met Jason and things got … complicated.

    Mine to protect. And mine to control…

    The last thing I need is to get involved with Kane Davros, the arrogant, domineering billionaire who could end everything.

He seduces me into a single night of passion, but what happens when one night isn’t enough? Kane I am my father’s son. At least, that’s what I need the world to think. Vicious and unscrupulous, I do my father’s dirty work, but it’s part of my plan for the day I can claim his empire and take him down. When Anika returns my wallet, it puts her on my radar, not a place a good girl like her should be. Her mix of innocence and jaded fire quickly turn my desire into an obsession I can’t control. When Anika refuses to give me more than one night, I discover a secret in her past and offer her a deal that will make her body, and her sweet submission, mine at last. Bargaining with me is getting in bed with the devil, but it’s either that or let the monsters that want her family dead destroy her. I guess it’s true what they say, no one deals with a Davros and comes out unscathed. ***Rich Man’s Price is book one of Bad Boy’s Bargain, an ongoing Mafia Romance serial, with plenty of light kink.
