THE PRICE OF YES

Twenty-three-year-old Michelle Calloway signs the lease on a converted warehouse loft because it's cheap, and cheap is all she can afford. She doesn't read the fine print. She doesn't know the building — and the private club two floors below it — belongs to Kobe Ashcombe, the kind of man whose name closes rooms and opens doors.
Kobe is fifty-one, unmarried, and accustomed to getting exactly what he wants, when he wants it, with two men at his side who have never once told him no. When Michelle catches his eye, he doesn't chase — he negotiates. A reduced rent. A private arrangement. A slow, deliberate education in wanting something she's never let herself want before.
She tells herself she can walk away any time. He never confirms that she can't.
As the lines between arrangement and obsession blur, Michelle finds herself pulled toward not one man but three — bound by loyalty to each other long before she arrived, and unwilling, now, to let her choose just one. What began as leverage becomes devotion. What began as control becomes something none of them can call by its safe name anymore.
But Kobe's world runs on discretion, and Michelle's arrival threatens to expose exactly the kind of man he's spent thirty years pretending not to be. When the past he's buried resurfaces, Michelle has to decide whether she's staying because she's kept — or because she's chosen this, fully, with open eyes.
A story of power surrendered and reclaimed, of possession that becomes partnership, and of a woman who walks into the wrong building and finds exactly where she belongs.
