"f**k… put it all in.” “It’s all in.” “I can’t feel a thing. Try harder.” “I don’t try hard, princess. I get hard.” "Yet,.I can't feel your c**k?" That’s how it began...one forbidden night that changed everything.Lila Sinclair thought she was just another girl trying to escape her broken past. She was adopted into the Blackwood dynasty after her mother was arrested, but it wasn’t kindness, it was business. Mr. Blackwood made her a deal: within one year she must secure a husband from his empire, or she’ll lose her adoption, her status, and worst of all, her mother’s chance at freedom.But the Blackwoods aren’t an ordinary family. Ethan Blackwood is the golden son with soft lips, dangerous charm, and a hunger for her body that burns every time they’re alone. Damien Blackwood is his opposite,the ruthless storm, cruel with his words, rough with his touch, yet intoxicating enough to drag her into sins she swore she’d never taste. Both brothers want her, in their own way. Both are traps she can’t resist.Then comes the darkest twist...Mr. Blackwood reveals the real deal. He doesn’t just want her married. He wants her loyal. And loyalty has a price. If she kills one of his sons, he’ll release her mother and send them away free. If she refuses, her mother dies, and Lila’s life crumbles before her eyes.Now she’s caught in a deadly triangle of love, lust, and betrayal. Ethan worships her like a sin he can’t repent for. Damien destroys her and builds her back up in the same breath. And Mr. Blackwood is always watching, pulling the strings.Every kiss is dangerous. Every night could be her last. And with her adoption, her future, and her mother’s life hanging in the balance, Lila must decide: which Blackwood brother will she choose, and which one will she betray?In the Blackwood house, love is not a sanctuary...it’s a deadline with a body count. And when the year ends, someone will either be free, or someone will be gone.The clock is merciless: 365 days to marry or be erased. But to marry is to choose, and to choose is to doom someone she has come to want with an impossible, escalating hunger.
