Liam

I was drowning in debt and my sister needed help, so I made a terrible choice. I borrowed money from the infamous Marchesi family, knowing I had no way to pay them back.

Did I think I could evade them?

Did I think I'd win the lottery?

No, I didn't think at all. I just acted.

Now, a killer is at my door, a man known for his ruthlessness, his persistence, and the way he can bring a man to his knees – for business or pleasure. I've got to find a way to pay him back, and the only thing I own free and clear is my body.

My job is extracting money from delinquent clients. If they can't pay with cash, they pay with pain.

The next client on my list is Liam, but when I show up at his house ready to take his money or break him, I find a desperate young man who intrigues me so much I consider other options.

When he offers himself as payment, I long to torment him in ways we'll both enjoy, but clients are off limits, and only fools break Marchesi family rules.

I might just let him make a fool of me.
