Bet on Love

He's watched her from the shadows. Now, she belongs to him.

For months, Fredrick has admired Ava in silence—an obsession he never meant to act on. But when her reckless father racks up a debt he can't pay, Fredrick seizes the opportunity. The deal is simple. The cost is Ava.

To claim her, he can't force her. He has to earn her trust, play the savior, and hide the truth behind carefully crafted lies and simmering desire.

When Fredrick steps out of the darkness, he's the only escape Ava has. Drawn to the man who rescued her, she surrenders to a passion that blurs the line between protection and possession.

When Ava learns the truth about the man who saved her, will she fight for her freedom—or fall for the devil who bought her soul?
