She was born into wealth, but she never wanted the crown. When Elara Sinclair learns she is the sole heir to her estranged father's billion-dollar empire, she wants nothing to do with it. A quiet life away from high society was all she ever craved. But walking away isn't an option-not when Damien Calloway, her father's most ruthless business partner, is determined to keep her in the game. Cold, calculating, and dangerously irresistible, Damien claims he's only protecting the legacy she's running from. But Elara knows better. He's after control-of the company, of her fate... and maybe even her heart. Torn between freedom and the world she was born into, Elara must decide: can she escape, or will she surrender to the one man who refuses to let her go?

Chapter 1 The Return

The city felt colder than she remembered. The sharp autumn wind curled around Elara Sinclair as she stood in front of the towering glass structure of Sinclair Global, her fingers tightening around the handle of her suitcase. The building loomed above her, sleek and impenetrable, reflecting the gray Manhattan sky like a silent judge. It smelled of rain, asphalt, and something metallic-maybe it was just the taste of regret on her tongue.

She had promised herself she would never come back.

Yet here she was.

A gust of wind swept through the street, sending a lock of chestnut hair across her face. She tucked it behind her ear with a sharp exhale, ignoring the black town car still idling behind her. She could feel the driver watching her in the rearview mirror, waiting for her to turn back, to run.

Not an option.

She adjusted the strap of her bag over her shoulder and stepped forward. The glass doors parted smoothly, ushering her into a marble-floored lobby that smelled of wealthâ€"fresh coffee, expensive cologne, and polished surfaces that never saw a speck of dust. The hum of conversation and the occasional click of heels filled the air, but the moment she entered, a noticeable shift rippled through the room.

A woman in a tailored navy suit behind the front desk stiffened, her manicured fingers pausing over the keyboard. Her gaze flicked up, eyes widening before she masked her expression with well-practiced professionalism.

“Miss Sinclair,” she said smoothly. “Mr. Calloway is expecting you.”

Of course, he was.

Elara inhaled slowly through her nose, willing herself to remain steady. She had known he would be waiting. Damien Calloway always got what he wanted. And this time, he wanted her in the one place she had fought to escape.

Her heels clicked against the marble as she crossed the lobby. The weight of a dozen unseen eyes pressed against her back, whispers forming like a storm cloud as she stepped into the elevator. The doors slid shut, sealing her inside.

The last time she had been here, she had walked out without looking back.

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
