She Signed for the Devil: One signature. One wedding ring. One devil who never lets go.
Wren Callahan's life ended an hour before anyone told her about it.
She is twenty-four. She pulls espresso for men whose watches cost more than her degree, and she ranks her unpaid bills by which one will kill her first. Then her father comes by with old aftershave on his coat, puts both his hands around hers like he is praying, and tells her he has done a bad thing. He will not say what.
The next evening a car the colour of a bruise is waiting outside her building, and a card slides under her door.
You have thirty minutes. He does not like to wait.
There is no name on it. In this city, there does not need to be.
Cassian Blackthorn's brother is dead, and every debt owed to him now belongs to Cassian. One million four hundred thousand dollars. A contract with a collateral clause. And the collateral was a person.
He tells her there are only three ways a Blackthorn debt is ever settled - money, blood, or marriage.
He also gives her a promise she does not believe: that no one in his house will touch her, himself included, unless she asks.
So she signs. She looks the most dangerous man in the country in the eye and tells him she will hate him every day of her life.
He says he knows.
But there is a rival on the grounds at midnight. There is something buried in her mother's maiden name that could set two families on fire. And with every locked door, every escape she plans and does not take, Wren is discovering the most frightening thing of all - that the man who bought her keeps his word, and she is starting to want him to break it.
She was signed over as collateral. She is going to become something far more dangerous.
She Signed for the Devil is Book One of the Blackthorn Sinners duet - a forced-marriage mafia romance with a ruthless, patient hero who never takes what he is not given, and a heroine who saves herself first.
Closed-door romance, no explicit content. This is a novella, and it ends on a cliffhanger. The story continues in Book Two, She Bled for the Devil.
