“Why?”

“Because your ex is watching,” he says, leaning back in his seat. “And I want him to see what he lost.”

“I do want to ruin you,” I whispered.

Then She made her request.“I want you to take my virginity.”

••••••••••••••••

Meadow Russell was supposed to marry the love of her life in Vegas.

Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiancé.

One drink at the bar turned into ten.

One reckless night turned into a mistake she couldn’t take back.

And one stranger’s offer became a contract she signed with shaking hands—sealed with a diamond ring.

Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit.

Billionaire. CEO. Possessive. Cold.

A man born into an empire of blood and steel.

He also suffers from a rare neurological condition—he can’t feel.

Not pain. Not pleasure. Not even human touch.

When she touches him, he feels everything.

And now, he owns her—on paper and in his bed.

She wanted him to ruin her. To take what no one else ever could.

But what starts as a transaction spirals into something neither of them expected—

Because Alaric doesn’t share what’s his.

Not his company.

Not his wife.

And definitely not his vengeance.
