From New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author, Pepper Winters, comes a desperately dark hero and roller-coaster romance.

"I own you. I have the piece of paper to prove it. It's undeniable and unbreakable. You belong to me until you've paid off your debts."

Nila Weaver's family is indebted.
Being the first born daughter, her life is forfeit to the first born son of the Hawks to pay for sins of ancestors past.
The dark ages might have come and gone, but debts never leave.
She has no choice in the matter.
She is no longer free.

Jethro Hawk receives Nila as an inheritance present on his twenty-ninth birthday.
Her life is his until she's paid off a debt that's centuries old.
He can do what he likes with her -- nothing is out of bounds -- she has to obey.
There are no rules. Only payments.

This story isn't suitable for those who don't enjoy dark romance, uncomfortable situations, and dubious consent. It's steamy, it's twisty, there's colour as well as darkness, but it's a rollercoaster not a carrousel.

As a further warning: If you're prepared to wade through the blackness at the beginning, you'll glimpse the truth in the villain. And he'll capture you, body and soul...
Tropes:
? She belongs to him
? Forced proximity - captive and capturer
? Feuding Families
? Forbidden romance with brutal benefits
? Debts extracted for past sins
? An anti-hero with a dark secret
? A heroine who starts weak and becomes strong enough to tame a monster

5 Stars! Pepper Winters is a God. She deserves 25 stars. All her books are AMAZING.

5 Stars! Peppers Winters has quickly established herself as my favourite author. Her writing is exquisite and riveting. I have never been able to put down a book she has written, often sacrificing sleep in an effort to make sure all my loved ones have made it out alive.

5 Stars! Pepper Winters does not disappoint with this twisty dark and gruesome tale. I literally had put this book down at times just to wrap my mind around the story and the "debts".
