Money can buy anything. And anyone. As the head of the Constantine family, I’m used to people bowing to my will. Cruel, rigid, unyielding—I’m all those things. When I discover the one woman who doesn’t wither under my gaze, but instead smiles right back at me, I’m intrigued.
Ash Elliott needs cash, and I make her trade in crudeness and degradation for it. I crave her tears, her moans. I pay for each one. And every time, she comes back for more. When she challenges me with an offer of her own, I have to decide if I’m willing to give her far more than cold hard cash.
But love can have deadly consequences when it comes from a Constantine. At the stroke of midnight, that choice may be lost for both of us.

Oh, wow! This book!!
"He's creating a monster. I don't like the person I'm learning is hiding inside me. She's a f*cking freak like him."
Ash Elliott lives with her father, step-mother, and her 'Terror Triplets' step-brothers. Her father has changed since he got re-married and her college fund has been drained. When richer-than-god Winston Constantine offers her a unique job, she's hard-pressed to refuse him because the lure of earning the money to secure her college education is very tempting indeed. The fact that his twisted games taps into a hitherto unknown kink in her is a bonus. However, beneath Win's cruel, kinky behaviour lurks a possessive and caring man. Even though there is clearly no future for them, Ash can't help falling for him.
"The beautiful, messy girl smiles at my words. This is how I know I'll never come back from this. From her."
This book was a fabulous ride of a read! I expected the kink but I didn't expect the humour. Ash is a lippy and spunky young woman, who just wants someone on her side. I loved that she gave Win as good as she got. I was charmed by the fact that he was absolutely tickled pink by her attitude and snark. LOL. I shuddered at the way the Terror Triplets treated her and her stepmother needed a good slap. Even more so, her father needed a good shake to wake the hell up and take a good long look at his daughter and how sad he made her.
"Beneath the bored, smug, confident man is a beast. Starving. Angry. Possessive."
Win was a contradiction of a man. He was a proud alpha with strong family pride, and punishing expectations of the people around him. Unfortunately, for someone who is usually a cold hardass, his arrangement with Ash leaves him vulnerable to his enemies. I loved that he acknowledged to himself that he was well and truly tangled up in Ash but she was also his blind spot.
I can't wait for the next book because holy hell! I didn't expect the cliffy! I feel a little bit mad about it. I could see the 'time left in book' counting down and I was dreading the ending because I just bloody knew! Gaaaahhh!!
