Publication date: March 29th, 2022
Published by: Dangerous Press
Synopsis:
All I wanted is for my little sister Della to be safe and happy. And maybe, in brief stolen moments, I dreamed of a happy ending for myself with a brown-eyed man. That hope has turned into sharp, bright fear. There's only survival now.
I'm the daughter of a controlling and cruel billionaire, so I understand about power. But I find myself fighting anyway. I find myself testing them.
I have claws and I bite. I'm not going down without a fight.
It's like I have a death wish.

Excerpt
His starved gaze sweeps over my flesh and he smirks at my hand covering my pussy. "Walk. Into the bathroom."
I'm not eager about having him at my back, I don't have any other option. Turning from him, I wobble on my way to the bathroom. Inside, the bathtub is filled with bubbles, smelling of lavender.
The pounding on his bedroom door is muffled now.
"What's this?" I demand.
"You're not sleeping in my bed smelling like a streetrat."
Sleeping in his bed?
Another fresh wave of panic hits my bloodsteam.
"Get in." He motions for the bath. "Now."
I can't move. My feet remain planted on the tile floor, sore and aching from my long trek. His warm palms on my hips, though, have me skittering from his touch. I nearly faceplant in my attempt to escape him. The second the hot water touches my sore foot, I cry out. Not from pain. It actually feels really good. Sinking down into the hot water, I gladly hide beneath the suds to avoid his probing stare. I draw my knees to my chest, hugging them to me and rest my chin on top of them.
"Better?"
My eyes cut over to him and I glare at him. "Fuck you."
His chuckle is deep and wicked. "Filthy mouth, filthy girl."
Ignoring him, I try to make sense of my situation. How I got here. What will happen to me and Della? The events of tonight keep piling up. Is Dad alive or did I kill him? If he's alive... For a split second, I'm thankful we escaped him. I can pretend we're at Ty's, safe and protected, not in the lion's den.
"Why are you doing this?" My voice comes out as a quaky whisper. "Why, Scout?"
"Because I can." He prowls over to the tub and sits on the edge. "You're my prize--our prize."
He's not making any sense, but now that he's talking, I don't want him to stop. I need answers. I need to figure out how in the hell I'm going to get out of here.
"I want my sister."
"Your sister is sleeping. Don't worry. She's with the softy."
These three men tricked me into a false sense of security, kissed me, were intimate with me, and I'm supposed to not worry. Right.
"I don't understand," I admit, my bottom lip trembling. "Why me? Why us?"
"You were a job, prickly princess."
"A job." My blood cools at his admission. "What exactly was your job?"
"A little bit of this. A little bit of that."
"Seriously? These answers are pathetic," I say with false bravado. "You're pathetic."
"Oooh, kitty has claws." I want to rip his eyeballs out. "What am I to you now?" I demand instead.
"You're ours. For a job well done."
