Buttons and Shame - Penelope Sky

nTristan is one of my biggest clients. nHe always pays on time, and he always keeps his word. nBut this time, he's short on cash. nHe needs the shipment now, so he offers me collateral. nHe loans me his slave. nAdelina. nNow that Pearl and I are so close, I can't condone this type of exchange. nIt's wrong. Inhumane. nBut she wants me. I can tell. nAnd I definitely want her. n**Buttons and Shame is told from Cane's point of view, but Crow and Pearl have their own POV's to develop the overall story** nTristan offers his beautiful slave as payment-and I can't say no. n nTristan has been my client for a long time. Always keeps his word-and always pays on time. But this month he's short on funds, and offers Adelina, his beautiful slave, as collateral until he gets the full payment. n nIf this happened before Pearl came into my life, I would have taken the deal without a second thought. But now it feels wrong...knowing everything my sister-in-law suffered. I should say no, but she looks at me like she desperately wants me to say yes. I want her-and she clearly wants me. n nI submit to temptation and take her home. Her kiss is fire on my mouth, and I want the marks she digs into my back become permanent scars. It's supposed to be simple and physical, but I find my heart softening for this woman and her predicament. She asks me to save her, to make enemies with my allies. Once Tristan has the funds, we're supposed to make the exchange. And if I don't, there'll be hell to pay. n nAnd once Crow finds out what I did, he'll kill me. n nPick up your copy now by clicking the BUY NOW button at the top of this page.
