He bought her for ninety days. But forever was always part of the deal.
Annaliese Harlowe's life is a cold, desperate grind. Waitressing in a diner, she counts pennies while her brother's debts circle like vultures. Her only value to the world is a fragile thread to a man everyone wants, but no one can find.
Until Dante DeLeon finds her.
Billionaire. Kingmaker. The most ruthless man in Pearl City. He doesn't ask. He observes, calculates, and makes an offer that shatters her world: a ninety-day contract. In exchange for clearing her brother's debt, she will belong to him. Body, time, and absolute obedience. A business transaction, signed in gold and desperation.
For Dante, Annaliese is the final, perfect piece in a long-planned strategy. He sees not a desperate girl, but rare, unbreakable ore-material to be refined and possessed. He will dress her in silk, house her in his penthouse sky, and mold her into the flawless companion for his empire. He expects gratitude. He expects submission.
He does not expect her.
Annaliese's quiet fury and resilient grace begin to crack the ice of his calculated world. As the opulent days turn into intimate nights, the lines of their contract blur. What began as a cold acquisition ignites into a searing, all-consuming obsession. Dante's ruthless possession transforms into something more dangerous: a need that defies all his logic.
But their gilded cage has enemies. As threats from Dante's past and Annaliese's broken life converge, the ninety-day clock is no longer just a deadline-it's a ticking bomb. He must choose between the empire he built with cold precision and the woman he now cannot live without.
Owned for 90 Days is a dark, seductive romance of ruthless ambition, explosive passion, and the terrifying power of a love born from a contract. It's a story about the price of freedom, the weight of a name, and what happens when a man who owns everything meets the one woman he cannot control.
