BLURB
One: Sign the contract.
Two: Become his for a year.
Three: Don’t fall in love.
Boundaries will be crossed, loyalties will be tested and lives will be changed forever.
Juliette Romero had a debt to pay, a debt that wasn’t even hers. But it was the only way to keep her family safe and all she had to do was sell her body and soul to the devil.
Killian McClary wasn’t called the Scarlet Wolf for nothing. He’d been the head of the McClary Organization since he was fifteen and had built a reputation for being a ruthless son of a bitch when it came to running the city’s underbelly, not to mention merciless when it came to punishing those who betray him. He didn’t believe in weaknesses. Only results. Juliette, with her shy smiles and hot little body was a weakness unlike any other and yet he was powerless to resist one more taste of her sweet flesh.
Two: Become his for a year.
When given the choice between her life or her body, what could Juliette possibly do, but submit to a man whose very name invoked fear in the hearts of others? She just never anticipated falling for his dark, hungry eyes and clever hands, or the way the beast in him made her feel oddly safe and cherished.
But what will happen when Killian’s dark past finally catches up to him and threatens the woman he can no longer imagine himself without? What will happen when both sides find themselves caught in a web of passion, lies and broken promises? Can Juliette tame the wolf or will her love for him devour them both?
Three: Don’t fall in love.
Boundaries will be crossed, loyalties will be tested and lives will be changed forever.

Airicka Phoenix's Bio
Self-proclaimed romance addict, Airicka Phoenix lives in a world where unicorns, fairies and mermaids run amok through her home on a daily basis. When she's not chasing after pixies and rounding up imps, also known as her four children, she can be found conjuring imaginary friends to play with. Airicka is the prolific author of over eighteen novels for those who crave strong, female leads, sexy alpha heroes and out of control desires. She's a multi genre author who writes young adult, new adult and adult contemporary and paranormal romance.
For more about Airicka and the realm she rules with an iron fist--and tons of chocolate--visit her at:
Killian McClary, head of the McClary Organization has seen his fair share of death in his lifetime. Learning quickly, that those he loves and those closest to him will soon enough become his liability. He knows to keep everyone at arms length. Especially anyone of his conquests. It's only ever sex. One night, no sleep overs. Pleasure and pain, and life goes on. Until Juliette.
Juliette Romero has a debt to pay off. A debt incurred by her drunken, gambling father. In order to pay off the debt, she must forsake her body, for one pleasurable night. Otherwise...her sister becomes the payment.
Killian McClary, otherwise known as the Scarlet Wolf, has made a name for himself, as one of the most ruthless, merciless and unforgiving leaders in the city. In solidarity for another rival encroaching on his territory, he takes Juliette as a solidarity payment. It was supposed to be one night. That is until he got a taste of heaven.
One night isn't enough. Killian needs to screw Juliette out of his system. He resolves himself to a contract. Juliette, has no other choice. Either adhere to the contract or succumb to Arlo's viciousness. Choosing the lesser of two evils, her life finally begins.
One: Sign the contract.
Two: Become his for a year.
Three: Don't fall in love.
Soon enough the terms of the contract begin to sway, and Killian finds himself falling for the little lamb. In his world, he cannot afford to lose focus. Losing focus in his world, is the difference between life and death.
When his world comes crashing down around him, the eminent threat of his daily life becomes a factor he cannot live with if Juliette's life is endangered. In order to protect her, he must rely on the contract clauses.
“There is a reason I don’t pick women like you, virgins with no idea how to tell apart lust from love, we had sex. Lots of sex. It was great sex, I won’t lie. But a real woman knows the difference, know not to confuse the two. I apologize if you ever thought I would ever love you...”
Uttering these words, are more painful to him, than seeing the tears and strength slowly fade from Juliette's eyes. Pushing her away, is the only way to save her from a life of pain. Save himself from living in a world without her. He would rather let her go, and know she still lives, than keep her and curse her to death.
You're my weakness, Juliette. You're my achilles heel. The key to bringing me down.
I loved loved every minute of reading this story. My first AP read, and she wawed! me. The plot, the writing, the development. Fantastic! The raw emotions from Killian gutted me and I fell in love with him. Next time AP, make a hero that can fall out of the book. :) Juliette, while she started of scared and meek, grew into a strong and vigilant heroin. The different dynamics of each character was wonderfully portrayed, along with them uniting as a couple. They were each other's heart and strength.
