Shae Marino has wanted Peyton Bride for a long time. He has kept his distance, as he knows how desperate she is to make her parents’ failing business work. But, when her sister mounts up a ridiculous amount of debt, he has no choice but to take payment, and he wants Peyton.
Peyton loved her parents. After taking over the bakery, she had no idea how they were able to keep on going. They had gone past the red, and with sister constantly needing money, she struggled to stay afloat. She somehow managed to get by—until her sister needed her.
To save her sister, she must give herself to Shae Marino. She never wants to see her sister again, so she will bargain with him. He can take her virginity, but he must keep her sister as far away from her as possible.
He agrees. She belongs to him, and he plans to keep her.
When trouble comes calling, she turns to Shae to help fix it. Now, there is no turning back. She knows what he is capable of, and it doesn’t scare her. She loves this man, and she will forever be by his side.
