I’m not like this.
At least, that’s what I like to tell myself.

At first, everything was clear to me. The impulse that moved me was strong, sharp and pristine. I wanted to destroy this man. But now I feel confused and guilty. Nothing makes sense anymore. Have I failed? My motivations are muddy, my hate has lost its temper and now I don’t know whether to slap his face or fall into his arms.

He’s dangerous, to be sure. A cold, calculating man. But he’s also able to say the sweetest words…

Lara Everwood faces a dilemma. Her father is lying in a hospital bed, victim of a man who’s set out to take the work of his whole life: Theo Lambert, eccentric billionaire, playboy, traveller, alpha male, owner of an economic empire, and general asshole. Lara needs to get close to him and find a way to make him pay for what he’s done.

But as she gets to know the bad boy a bit better, things start to get complicated. Is she getting too close? Why is she suddenly not to sure about what she must do? What makes her dream about Theo punishing her when she knows just how bad he really is?

Lara is discovering the hidden side of the monster, and deep inside, she’s hoping to find a heart of gold. But at the same time, Theo is coming closer and closer to discovering her own secret, her web of lies. She’ll end up being BOUGHT by him, and who knows what will happen afterwards?
