Summary
I planned everything: the auction, the buyer, my daughter's freedom. Then Dane Sinclair places his bid and claims me instead.
I'm being auctioned to the highest bidder by my dead husband's secret society.
I have a deal with the man who's supposed to win. He'll bury my secrets. I'll give him the connections he needs to rise in the council.
Then Dane Sinclair—the one man I haven't stopped thinking about for almost twenty years—pays fifty million dollars and ruins everything.
Now he owns me. He's making me crave the way he controls me and makes me beg. Making me want things I never felt before.
I'm falling for my husband.
But I'm supposed to betray him. And if I don't, my daughter is in danger.
When he discovers what I've done, I know he'll never let me go.
I don't know if I'm afraid of what he'll do to me—or desperate for it.

This is the first book in The Sinclair Billionaires series. Each book follows a different Sinclair man (Dane and his three sons, Fox, Tate, and Thorne), but Dane and Whitney's story is complete with an HEA.

This book had me hooked from the moment Dane was introduced. He is by far my favorite character in the book. Dane is intense, cold, possessive, controlling, and absolutely ruthless, but the way he protects the people he considers family made him impossible not to obsess over. The chemistry between Dane and Whitney had me in a chokehold the entire time. I loved Whitney’s defiance and how she constantly tested him to see how far he would go. Their dynamic was toxic, brutal, addictive, and exactly what I want in a dark romance couple.
The writing style made the story easy to get immersed in, and the pacing kept me engaged the whole way through. The darker elements felt somewhere between mild and medium compared to other dark romances I’ve read, but it still delivered everything I wanted. I especially loved the touch her and die trope along with the morally gray MMC.
One moment that really surprised me was when Whitney lied to Dane and instead of immediately killing her or turning her in, he went out of his way to uncover the truth and then made her pay for it. Their interactions during moments like that were some of my favorites in the entire book.
By the end, I didn’t want the story to stop. The ending left me needing more books in this series immediately. If you love dark romance with possessive morally gray characters, toxic chemistry, tension, and brutal devotion, this is absolutely worth the read. I will definitely be reading more from Dahlia Vale.
Toxic, Brutal, & completely addictive!
