I made a deal with a monster to save my brother.
I just didn't realize I was the real target.
One phone call shattered everything.
My brother was arrested on charges that didn't make sense-too perfect, too fast, too impossible to fight. Every lawyer refused. Every favor died quietly. And every path led to one name people were too afraid to say out loud.
Cole Merritt.
Ruthless billionaire. Shadow power. A man who doesn't fix problems-he erases them.
So I went to him.
And he made me an offer.
He would make my brother's case disappear... in exchange for ninety days.
My time.
My presence.
My complete compliance.
No questions. No control. No way out.
I told myself it was a transaction. A temporary nightmare I could survive for family.
I was wrong.
Because Cole Merritt didn't just wait for me to walk into his world-
He built the road that brought me there.
The arrest. The timing. The closed doors. The whispered warnings.
None of it was coincidence.
I wasn't chosen as a victim.
I was chosen as a weapon.
Now I'm trapped inside a dangerous game I don't understand-caught between a man who planned me like a strategy... and the terrifying truth of what I'm becoming under his control.
And the worst part?
I'm no longer sure I want to escape.
Because some monsters don't drag you into the dark-
They make you crave it.
A dark billionaire romance filled with:
- Forced proximity
- Obsessive anti-hero
- Psychological manipulation
- Enemies-to-lovers tension
- Power imbalance & slow-burn desire
- Shocking twists and emotional intensity
Perfect for readers who love dark romance, psychological tension, strong Black female lead and dangerously addictive stories.
