Conway paid off Knuckles to keep me—but he expects something in return.

I belong to him exclusively, to fulfill every order he gives, personally and professionally. I'm more than just his muse now. I'm his in every sense of the word. I live a life of luxury in his mansion, but he treats me like a servant. I can't deny my attraction for him, but I despise the kind of man he is.

I should be grateful that Knuckles is gone and I don't have to look over my shoulder anymore, but now I'm indebted to another man—one just as cruel, just in a different way. It's something I can't outrun—because you can't outrun your heart. Without passionate nights and heated stares, it's impossible not to get attached... not to want more. But Conway refuses all my requests for commitment.

My options change when I get a call from a rival lingerie company. They offer to pay double my salary—enough for me to buy out my remaining contract from Conway and pay off Knuckles. I could be a free woman and start over.

But I'm not sure if I can leave Conway—for any price.

Buttons and Betrayal is the second installment of the Beyond Buttons series, a bestselling alpha male, dark mafia romance.
