Perfect for you if...

You love high-stakes power dynamics in romance where both characters are equally stubborn and refuse to bend easily.
You want explicit sexual tension wrapped around real emotional vulnerability, not just surface-level heat.
You're drawn to wealthy, morally grey protagonists who've built empires and aren't used to hearing the word no.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer romance where the male lead is soft, emotionally available from page one, or clearly the pursuer without question.
You're looking for cosy romance or slow-burn relationships that develop over years of friendship first.
You want your heroines to have zero financial desperation or other pressures that complicate consent.

About this book

The first book in the Stark trilogy, this romance follows Damien Stark, a wealthy and powerful man, and a woman who catches his attention. Stark offers her one million dollars to pose for a nude portrait for his private art collection. She needs the money, but soon realizes the arrangement involves more than she initially agreed to. As their dynamic develops, mutual attraction emerges between them. The situation becomes complicated by rumors about Stark's dangerous nature and the risks involved in their relationship. The book includes excerpts from later books in the series: Claim Me and Say My Name. Intended for mature audiences.
