House of Payne by Ivy Black

She’s innocent. Untouched. And completely mine.

MASON PAYNE

I wasn’t supposed to get involved.

She was just collateral—a debt her father couldn’t pay.

A name on a spreadsheet. A girl with no options.

But the second I saw her, I wanted to destroy her.

London Callahan doesn’t know what the House of Payne really is.

She thinks she’s just here to scrub floors and play maid to monsters.

She hasn’t seen the underground. The rules. The games.

My games.

She thinks she’s repaying a debt.

But that contract? That’s her collar.

Because I don’t want her money.

I want her obedience. Her surrender. Her screams.

And I’m not letting her go until I’ve taken everything she’s too good to give.

LONDON CALLAHAN

My father was drowning in debt, and when the mafia came to collect, they didn’t take his money.

They took me.

Now I work at the House of Payne, a club where billionaires feed their darkest appetites.

I thought I’d be cleaning suites and scrubbing floors.

Then I met him.

Mason Payne—cold-blooded, sinfully rich, and obsessed with control.

He says I’m under his protection.

But the way he touches me doesn’t feel safe.

It feels like ownership.

And if I stay too long in his world…

I won’t make it out the same.
