Thorns in Bloom A Contract of Secrets and Revenge

After a divorce leaves her with nothing, Thelma Summers applies to become Benedict Fox's tenth contract girlfriend. Survive three months as a livestream companion for Fox Group and ten million dollars is hers, though the last nine women all walked away empty-handed. Thelma has no sob story to sell, only a business proposal: she can double the program's profits. Benedict accepts, on one condition — if either party develops feelings, the contract ends and the penalty is another ten million.

What Benedict does not know is that Thelma is not only chasing money. She is chasing justice, and the necklace in her pocket is her talisman. But her past will not stay buried. Her ex-husband, who beat her and took her child, tracks her to the stairwell she now calls home, and his grip on her throat is only the beginning of what she must survive.
