    About this ebook

    I owe him a debt.

    A big one.

    The payment can't be settled with money or favors.

    He only wants one thing.

    Me.

    Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with three hundred and sixty five buttons he'll let me go. He'll let me walk away.

    But I have to earn every single one.

    By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I'd ever known.

    ***TRIGGER WARNING*** There are some difficult and dark scenes that may upset some readers.
