I Paid For His Body, He Stole My Heart

My name is Victoria Sterling. Thirty-seven, Silicon Valley CEO, millions in the bank.
I don't believe in love. But I believe in deals.
Fifty grand a month for a compliant companion and bed partner—that's been my life for three years. Until I met Ethan Cole: twenty-nine, Stanford dropout, bankrupt with $1.8M in debt, mother dying of cancer.
He's smart, he's handsome, and he's desperate.
Perfect prey.
I thought I controlled everything. Until two months later, when his creditor showed up in my office lobby and said:
"Ms. Sterling, do you know his real reason for approaching you?"
That's when I saw Ethan's face—
Pure, devastating guilt.
