For the length of these terms, your body is mine. When I want it. How I want it.
To save his graduation and keep his best friend out of prison, ceramic arts student Harley Dawson signed his name to nine impossible rules.
Cornered by an extortionist from his past and facing charges that will ruin his future, Harley has nowhere left to run. Enter Kendrick Ashford: brilliant, merciless, and the most dangerous law student on campus. Kendrick has the power to make the investigation disappear before February ends-but his protection comes written on cream stationery in wet black ink.
The terms are non-negotiable:
Move into Kendrick's converted sail loft.
Share his location around the clock.
Eat whatever Kendrick puts in front of him.
And Clause Eight: complete, unreserved physical submission.
Harley hides behind sharp jokes and loose smiles, determined to treat the arrangement like a prison sentence with a release date. But Kendrick didn't draft those terms out of professional duty. He has been watching Harley in the snow, tracking his bike, and keeping count of every skipped meal for months.
Under Kendrick's rigid domestic discipline, Harley is pushed down to his knees, fed bite by bite, and marked until he forgets where the coercion ends and genuine hunger begins. Kendrick will dismantle law firms, cross ethical lines, and violently break anyone who dares touch what is his.
Harley thought he was making a deal to secure his freedom. He didn't realize that once Kendrick Ashford claims something, he never lets it go.
