About this eBook

The first time it happened, it seemed like an impossible miracle. Bills were piling up, adding up to more money than I could ever make. Mom's hospital bills. My baby brother's tuition. My tuition. Rent. Electricity. All of it on my shoulders. And I had just lost my job. There was no hope, no money in my account, no work to be found. And then, just when I thought all hope was lost, I found an envelope in the mail. No return address. My name on the front, my address. Inside was a check, made out to me, in the amount of ten thousand dollars. Enough to pay the bills and leave me some left over to live on until I found a job. Enough to let me focus on classes. There was no name on the check, just "VRI Inc.," and a post office box address for somewhere in the city. No hint of identity or reason for the check or anything. No mention of repayment, interest, nothing... except a single word, on the notes line: "You." Just those three letters.

If you receive a mysterious check, for enough money to erase all your worries, would you cash it?

I did.

The next month, I received another check, again from VRI Incorporated. It too contained a single word: "belong."

A third check, the next month. This time, two words. Four letters. "To me."

The checks kept coming. The notes stopped. Ten thousand dollars, every month. A girl gets used to that, real quick. It let me pay the bills without going into debt. Let me keep my baby brother in school and Mom's hospice care paid for. How do you turn down what seems like free money, when you're desperate? You don't. I didn't.

And then, after a year, there was a knock on my door. A sleek black limousine sat on the curb in front of my house. A driver stood in front of me, and he spoke six words: "It's time to pay your debt."

Would you have gotten in?

I did.

It turns out $120,000 doesn't come free.

Ratings and reviews

Wow!! What can I say......This has to be THE best book of this type that I have ever read! It was very different from what I was expecting but I wasn't disappointed. It has everything in it and I liked the story line and the characters as well. I won't spoil it but the dam!! The scenes are just...........sexy !! This book will stay with me for a very long time and it's one that I would definitely go back to. Highly recommend!!

The book was great.,so detailed. the sex scenes are so unimaginably amazing. To much to read, my mind is going wild pituring out every little detail, i actually pictured out "Noah Flyn" in kissing booth as Valentine Roth. The story line is great.

I am a devout child of God, so I skip what many would consider to be the best sections. The use of His name as a curse is a huge turn-off for me, also. Having said that, I truly enjoyed the substance of the book. It was an amazing story and I, being completely enthralled, finished it in one sitting.
