Layla seizes the chance to save her sister from a life on the streets, but at what cost? Why has Jax chosen her when he and his friends clearly dislike her? Can she fulfil her end of the bargain? Or will she become like her mother? As Layla spends more time in Jax\'s bed, she realises nothing is as it seems. Who is Jackson King, and why does he know more about her mother than she does?

Rated 18+ for Mature Content. Evelyn Bright walked into Ashfield Construction for a typist job and came out a whore. A dirty secret. But all she wants to do now is pick up the pieces of her shattered dignity and walk away. Nothing good can come from falling in love with a cold-hearted bastard like Roman Ashfield. Roman has very simple rules in his contract. If she breaks them she has to leave. It’s less complicated that way. But Evelyn turns his ordered life upside down when she tries to walk away. It’s not love, it can’t be. But what lengths is he willing to go to to keep her where she belongs? Rules of Engagement 1. Be available every Friday evening. 2. Be ready. 3. You\'re not to discuss this arrangement or the details of this contract with anyone. 4. This is not a relationship—there will be no such expectations. 5. Do not fall in love. The rules of the contract are clear. They are in place for a reason. So why does Evelyn think she can just walk out on him? Why does she think she can keep testing and pushing his limits? It\'s not over until he says it is. Perhaps it\'s time he showed her what it means to be owned by Roman Ashfield.
