Rate this book
He bought her time. Now he wants her soul.

To the world, Candace "Candy" Miller is the queen of The Gilded Cage, Harlem’s most exclusive nightclub. She’s untouchable, glamorous, and the star of the show. But behind the sequins and the smile, she’s drowning. A final notice from Con Ed and a mountain of student loans have her seventy-two hours away from losing everything.

Enter Kane Sterling.

The owner of the club. The King of New York nightlife. A man with ice in his veins and a wallet that could buy the block. He sees Candace’s desperation, and he makes her an offer she can’t

Fifteen thousand dollars. One week. Complete submission.

The job title is "Creative Consultant" for the New Year's Eve Gala, but the fine print is dangerous. Late nights in his penthouse office. Private rehearsals. And a dress code that consists of nothing but gold mesh and bad intentions.

Kane doesn't just want a hostess. He’s been watching Candace from the shadows for three years, waiting for his moment to strike. Now that he has her under his thumb, he has no intention of letting her go.

The contract was for business. But when the clock strikes midnight, Kane demands a bonus that money can’t buy.
