To repay her father’s debts, she must sign herself over to the gangster she hates. AVA Just a few weeks ago, I found out the worst news in the world... My dad owes money to one of the most infamous gangsters on the East Coast. Damon Penmayne. The billionaire mafia boss with a cold heart and a fearsome, terrible reputation. Sure, he is probably the most perfect-looking man I have ever seen in my life, but I hate his guts with a passion. He wants his money, but we can’t pay him back. So he offers me an impossible deal. To be his mistress for three whole months. It’s a pact with the devil himself, but it’s the only hope I have left to save my dad. Will I succumb to his domination? DAMON My cold heart stops the moment I lay my eyes on Ava Matson. The beautiful blonde college student with the mixed-color eyes. She’s beyond gorgeous, but she has a nasty bite to her. Especially with me – her sworn enemy. But I want her with every fiber of my being. And I know how to get her. I’m presenting her a deal she simply can’t refuse. Something that will pay back her father’s debt, and make sure I’m banished from her life forever. She knows she has no other choice – she must be mine if she wants to settle the score. The Criminal’s Custody is a steamy standalone in the Crystal River Billionaire Brothers Series. Recommended for mature audiences.
