What if you met the man of your dreams inside a nightmare?

Not everything sounds good when you say it. Some things sound, well, just wrong. Like saying I hired a male escort to be my fiancé leading into (yeah, this is sounding bad) marriage, a fake marriage, one about money.

See, that did not sound good at all, but you'll have to just trust me on this, that was the innocent part of the story. You know, the sunny bit before the fall. Because the rest of this story cannot be described in polite company. Not even a little.

First it gets, well, unapologetically hot and then it gets wickedly hot and then it kind of goes nuclear and becomes oh-muh-goodness hot.

That's Lukas Dupree. He's a-whole-nother level of naughty, but that's not what this is about. This is about the darkness that followed--the chilling turn my story takes after he made me tremble to my core.

Maybe the choices mentioned above mean I deserved it all in the end.

I don't know. You'll have to tell me.

*Note: This book is hot, and funny, and more than a little dark.

Standalone. No cliffhanger.*
