Ruthless Bargain

Amelia Nightshade has spent her entire life surviving.

Orphaned at a young age and raised by a cruel uncle who treated her like nothing more than a burden, she learned early that the world shows mercy to no one. Working quietly in a small bookstore with her only friend, Iris, Amelia believed she had already endured the worst life had to offer.

Until the night she discovers the truth.

Her uncle has sold her.

As payment for a dangerous debt, Amelia is delivered to Lucien Cross-a cold, ruthless mafia boss and one of the most feared business tycoons in the country.
