She Owed The Devil A Debt
by Mara Voss
Scarlett Moore had counted the debt three different ways before she walked into Julian Voss's private club, and every version ended with the same impossible number.
Her father owed money to men who did not send polite reminders.
Julian owned the debt now, or controlled the men who did, which meant Scarlett had come to the only person in Chicago who could ruin her family with a phone call and save it with a nod.
She came at midnight to beg for more time. He placed a black card between them and waited. When her fingers brushed his, he offered ninety days in his locked estate.
