His Savage Vow by Eve Newton

I thought it was one night. He decided to keep me.

The auction is a means to an end. A way to pay my rent for another month. It’s not my first choice. It’s my only choice.
But the man who wins is Bratva-bred, London-polished, and terrifyingly calm about the price he pays as he savagely outbids everyone else.
I expect arrogance. I expect demands.
Instead, Damien Voronov gives me rules. Distance. Choice.
Protection I never asked for.
His attention makes me something valuable. Something usable. Something other men start reaching for the moment he lets go.
He’s everywhere. At my door, in my space, in my decisions, building a cage and calling it safety while I fight to keep the pieces of my life that were never for sale.
In his world, wanting is the same as claiming.
