He offered me hush money… then he offered his heart.
Paige Carter was ready to face her abusive ex in court—ready to tell the truth that could finally put him away. But when his older brother, Vincent, shows up with a bribe big enough to make her question everything, the rules of survival change.
Vincent is powerful, dangerous, and as morally gray as the secrets he’s protecting. Every touch feels like a sin, every kiss a betrayal—and yet Paige can’t stay away. Now the lines between love and loyalty are blurring fast, and one wrong choice could cost her freedom… or her life.
