Don't Buy My Heart

A tired young man in a navy work uniform stands in a hospital hallway at night, phone pressed to his ear.

It is the hospital. A nurse says Elsie collapsed during dialysis.

Synopsis

“Sign it,” he says. “You can hate me after.” Caleb Dune works nights at Sorrel Tower and keeps his sister Elsie alive with every extra shift. He has no time for Lucien Sorrel, the cold CEO who treats every problem like a line item. But when Elsie’s transplant fund is denied, Lucien makes an offer Caleb cannot afford to refuse: money for the surgery in exchange for Caleb moving into his penthouse and his bed. Lucien is trapped by boardroom duty and a family that wants him controlled. He tells himself the arrangement is simple. Then Caleb’s pride gets under his skin, and the shame after every touch makes the want sharper. Caleb can survive being bought. He cannot survive Lucien starting to care. What happens when the man with all the money is the one hiding his heart?
