Midnight Bargain

Solange Cannon doesn’t believe in luck.
Life’s been a chain of betrayals, from the coworker who stole her career to the bills that threaten her mother’s health. She’s fighting to survive—until the night she meets Rurik Barinov.

Tall. Cold-eyed. Russian-born and feared in every shadow where power is bought and stolen. He makes her a bargain: one night at his side, and he’ll erase her debts, silence her enemies, and give her a future worth more than she’s ever dared to dream.

But Rurik’s world doesn’t deal in clean endings. Every midnight she spends with him comes with another price, another layer of his obsession, another thread binding her to a man who never learned to let go.

And the deeper she falls, the more she realizes—walking away might cost her more than staying ever could.

In Rurik’s arms, she’s not safe.
But maybe she’s never wanted safety at all.

Not a real story

Honestly not sure if this was written by ai with a random prompt or what. The story kept starting over each chapter. There was some basic progression so I thought maybe there was an intentional time loop going on but seems that's not the case. So yeah, don't bother with this.

Couldn't finish

The automated reading kept skipping chapters. I tried to go back to 5 when it skipped to 6 & it was a repeat of 4 again?

A bunch of nothingness

Very repetitive, it doesnt make sense. Storyline is crap. Kept waiting for a turnout to happen but never did. What a waste of time! I've read other books that I really enjoyed by this author (One Too Many) before but really got a disappointing surprise with this one. Sorry...
