The Devil's Kiss

Sophia Evans grew up with Liam Devereux-her brother's best friend, the boy she always loved. He was her protector, the one person who made her feel safe when the world was cruel. They shared a bond that seemed unbreakable, until one fateful day when Liam made a promise to her: he would return after college, and they would be together. But when the time came, Liam vanished without a trace, breaking her heart and leaving her in despair.
Years later, Sophia finds herself in the Hamptons, facing the unimaginable: her brother is in a coma, and she has nowhere to turn. Desperate, she knows only one person can help-Liam. Now a ruthless, feared billionaire, he's no longer the same boy she once loved. His cold, calculating demeanor is a far cry from the man he once was.
With no other options, Sophia swallows her pride and approaches Liam, hoping for mercy. But Liam isn't interested in old promises or old feelings. He offers her a deal-his help, but in exchange for something far more personal: a kiss, one that seals a contract of obligation. She will repay him with her body, and Liam will collect his payment when the time comes.
Caught between desperation and desire, Sophia is forced to make the hardest choice of her life. As their past resurfaces and sparks of their old connection reignite, Sophia must confront the dangerous power Liam holds over her. But can she survive the consequences of the dark deal she has made, and can love truly thrive in a world so tainted by power and betrayal?
