“At 18 I had pennies, but money didn’t make me bold. At 19 I had dollars, but it didn’t dull the pain of being sold. At 20 I had hundreds, but then I met him and was found. At 21 I had thousands, but all I wanted was to be bound.”
“At 23 I had dollars, but life changed and made me rich. At 25 I had hundreds, but it wasn’t enough to stop my killing itch. At 27 I had thousands, but my reputation didn’t set me free. At 29 I had millions, but I met her and could finally see.”
Tasmin was killed on her 18th birthday. She had everything planned out. A psychology degree, a mother who pushed her to greatness, and a future anyone would die for. But then her murderer saved her life, only to sell her into a totally different existence.
Elder went from penniless to stinking rich with one twist of fate. His lifetime of crime and shadows of thievery are behind him but no matter the power he now wields, it’s not enough. He has an agenda to fulfil and he won’t stop until it’s complete.
But then they meet.
A beaten slave and a richly dressed thief. Money is what guided their separate fates. Money is what brought them together. And money is ultimately what destroys them.
She was poor.
He was rich.
Together…they were bankrupt.

 Review
5 stars

WARNING: This is a dark book. 
Holy sh!t!! Let me gather my thoughts.
What did I just read. I don't know what to think. 
Because I read the two page warning, but did I stop reading? Um... Not just no, but hell no. When I read the first chapter, did I stop? No again. When I read about Alrik, did I stop? Ha, nope. When I read about all of the sh!t Pim went through, did I stop? Once again... No. When I read about Elder, I didn't stop then either. So, does that make me messed up in the head? Maybe, but I. Don't. Care. 
Pepper Winters went above and beyond with this book. My heart broke for Pim. Everything she felt, i felt. I had tears in my eyes because of everything she went through. 
She has my respect. Because through out it all, she remained strong. She didn't let Alrik break her even after everything he did.
Alrik deserved what he got and so much more. He was a true monster. Everything Pim had done to her needed to be done right back to him.
Elder on the other hand was a mystery to me. I couldn't really get a feel for him. I'm hoping the next book reveals more because i am honestly curious.
Ms. Winters did her thing with this book. I was hooked from the warning. Yep, the freaking warning. Call me weird, messed up, crazy, call me whatever you want. Because I will definitely be one—clicking the next book in this series. 

So to all of my fellow dark book fans, grab your copy, because this is not a book to be missed!
Excerpt
Fuck this.
I stalked forward.
My hand came up.
The urge to soothe her catapulted my fingers to her cheek. My skin erupted from her delicate heat. I’d already had my single touch when I’d petted her hair. I wasn’t permitted a second.
But it didn’t stop me.
One second, she stood close, arching her chin at the door.
The next, she was across the cage, flying into a stack of boxes that tumbled in a clatter of butcher knives, butter knives, and sharp forks.
Her eyes turned luminous in the gloom, locking on mine with rage.
Shit.
I’d forgotten myself by feeling sorry for this beaten wraith, but she hadn’t forgotten her overwhelming hatred of men.
I didn’t look away. But I didn’t explain myself, either.
I’d borrowed her for the night. If I wanted to touch her, I could. The fact that she’d leapt away meant I could report her to her master and have her punished.
Or you could punish her instead.
The distance between us grew thicker as we breathed fast.
I waited…wanting to know just how deep her education in pleasure flowed. Tearing her gaze from mine, she swallowed hard. Piece by piece, she hid her loathing, replacing it with reluctant acceptance.
Inching closer, her toes nudged aside sharp blades as she made her way to me and fell to her knees on the cold concrete.
Half of me jolted with insane lust. Most of me shied away with repulsion as her straggly hair covered her face but not before I saw the twisted disgust and echoing despair.
“Get up,” I murmured. Even though my voice was low, the cavern of the garage amplified it, layering it with bite.
Instantly, she swooped up. The crackle of her joints and misused cartilage in her bones sounded like tiny gunfire.
“Don’t kneel. Not in here.”
