There was a time when my debt was the only link we had. There was a time when I couldn’t tell him how much I loved him, and he couldn’t tell me.

I used to think I could make a life with him, but now I’m not so sure.

I have debts to pay and secrets to keep. When someone threatens my life, I crash into him: Jackson Ludlow. The reclusive billionaire of New York. Once, he had everything a man could want.

He’s cold, uninterested, and demanding. I’m impatient and inexperienced. The only thing we have in common is that we both have secrets. And the closer we get, the more they threaten to destroy us.
