The price of sin

A Fallen Heir. A Ruthless Billionaire. A Debt Paid in Blood and Surrender. Julian Vane was once the golden prince of Manhattan, until his father's suicide left him with a cursed inheritance: a thirty-million-dollar debt owed to the Russian Bratva. Stripped of his wealth, his name, and his freedom, Julian is dragged into the criminal underworld and sold as nothing more than a commodity known as Lot 7.
The winning bid comes from Damon Kross-a relentless titan who has spent decades waiting for revenge against the Vane family. His plan is simple: break Julian's will and retrieve a bio-encrypted code hidden within his DNA, a secret left behind by Julian's father. But revenge becomes far more dangerous when powerful enemies emerge from the shadows. Criminal organizations and merciless operatives will stop at nothing to seize the code and claim control over a vast criminal network.
As Julian and Damon are forced to flee, survival becomes their only goal. Along the way, Julian discovers that the man who purchased him may also be the only person capable of protecting him. Bound by violence, secrets, and obsession, captor and captive are drawn into a connection neither of them expected. In a world built on betrayal and blood, the line between hatred and desire becomes dangerously thin-and some debts demand far more than money to be repaid.
