The only way out is to marry within the next six months before the competitor company's father returns to consummate the deal. This makes him sign a marriage contract with Emily Lockett, who is in desperate need of cash. Will Emily regret this decision, or will Daniel fall in love in the process?

He bent down to meet mine, his fingers gripping my chin, still unsatisfied with our physical touch. "Fiancée?" he inquired, his voice soft. As the stress from our physical touch increased, I nodded. I locked my gaze on his attractive features. "Do you consider yourself my fiancée?" I nodded once more. Of course, I was his fiancée, and I'd keep it no matter what. "Let's see whether you truly are," he said gently between breaths. His tone conveyed a threat, and I shuddered. "A fiancée is allowed to kiss her boyfriend. Let us see if you can—-" In the blink of an eye, he mashed his lips on mine. *********************** He is my only true love.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer.

A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
