Publisher's summary

I knew she'd ruin me. But I wanted her anyway.

I was born into wealth and my name comes with a reputation. One I've upheld and leveraged for power.

Now everyone owes me and I plan to keep it that way. Until she's offered to me. My sweetheart. Only for a single month to repay a debt. Her tempting curves call to me and beg me to risk it all. I shouldn't take her, I shouldn't even consider his offer. Women like her bring men to their knees. But there's something in her baby blues. They're haunted by what lies behind them. She sees through me, leaving me nowhere to hide. I knew taking her would destroy me, but it only took one taste.

Now I'm addicted. And I'm not giving her back.

Given is a full-length standalone dark romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

Zander and Arianna!

Zander is successful, wealthy ruthless businessman who needs to ensure that when he is owed money that he collects it. Arianna has experienced much hardship in her life and Danny rescued her at her lowest and since has repaid the debt by being his slave ever since.

Unable to pay his debt to Zander, Danny offers Arianna for one month however when Zander grants him an extension rather than accepting his offer Danny advises that he is going to put Arianna up for auction anyway. Zander purchases her from the auction and the contract begins but what happens when they don’t want it to end and Danny wants her back?

Compelling characters, red hot chemistry and suspense will make this a story you won't want to put down. I thought the narrators did a great job of bringing the story to life.

Saved by the Narrators

While this was an HEA, and while I really liked Zander and Ariana, their story was okay. nothing exciting...no twist or shocking turns. And it was the most boring epilogue ever...Zander on the phone with his dad? Seriously boring and disappointing. On the flip side, the narrators did a great and brought the drab storyline some life.

Unexpected Love

Great series. I loved every book.
Standalone with no Cliffhangers.
He wasn't looking for a relationship.
She thought what she had was what she deserved.

He Loved Her before He Knew Her

Can Cinderella find her prince before the wicked beats all the good out of her. Ari is a slave to a demented master that what at first was his way of saving her to now just abusing her. She wants to leave, but feels beholden to him cause he saved her. Zander is a powerful man and he has one weakness, the quiet submissive owned by a cruel man, a man that owes him.

This story was a bit different than the other books in the story, not a bad different, but different in that the slave finds another way of loving without the pain and the man is the gentle lover instead of needing power. I really liked this book and twist of discovery for this couple. She made him a better man, but he changed her life. I voluntarily read a copy and was completely taken with Zander. The prince that saved the slave.

Another Amazing Book!

I'm in love with the stories surrounding the powerful men and amazing women from Club X. The story lines suck you in and keep wanting more.

The narrators add a great deal of passion to the characters while reading which makes this series that much better to listen to instead of reading.

I'm hoping there are more stories coming for this series to include one for the dear Madame Lynn!

So good

Loved this series, couldn't put it down! Love the premise and the full bodies experience of these books and how they are all interwove very well.

An emotional roller coaster

Wow! This was a book that kept me on the edge of my seat. Quite sexual with domination as a center theme.

Love the story

Nice love story. Highly recommend. The narrators did excellent job for bringing main characters to life.

Zander and Arianna

I really loved the dynamic story line - Zander is a shrewd business man. He's honed his craft over time. Arianna is a broken woman that can't seem to get out from behind....behind a horrible relationship and a past that haunts her.

While I really loved the story line between Zander and Arianna I wished I knew and felt more about Arianna's past. Zander seems to also want Arianna too much for someone in so much control of his and everyone else's life. Otherwise the rest of the story lines seems more realistic to me -

Douglas Berger and Brooke Hayden do a wonderful job on expressing the angst these characters have following them around.
