The Perfect Bargain by Natalie Grace

In LA, survival means navigating desire, danger, and deception. No one knows that better than Ava, Lily, Carmen, Diana, and Elena. The stakes are higher, the risks deadlier, and the line between control and chaos has never been thinner.

Lily thought she could handle James, the charming client who made her feel special—until his possessiveness starts to suffocate her. Now, she’s torn between the allure of his intensity and the freedom she craves. Carmen’s ambitions have always been her driving force, but when she’s introduced to the seductive world of BDSM, her boundaries blur. She finds herself drawn to the power dynamics in ways she never expected, but the deeper she dives, the harder it is to pull back.
Diana, always the one with secrets, is slipping further into the forbidden. She knows the consequences of her affair with her fiancé’s father, yet the thrill is impossible to resist. Her perfect life is unraveling, and she’s losing control faster than she can hold on. Elena has been through hell, her past riddled with scars from an abusive relationship, but a new flame—unexpected and undeniably female—is reigniting the passion she thought she’d buried forever. With every touch, she’s reminded that she deserves more than survival—she deserves to feel alive.
As for Ava, the one who keeps it all together, she’s starting to crack. The dark world she once commanded is slipping through her fingers, and the more she fights to maintain control, the more she risks losing herself. The clients, the secrets, the double lives, they’re all catching up, and Ava’s struggling to keep the darkness from swallowing her whole.

In the City of Angels, the price of survival is higher than ever, and these five women are about to find out just how far they’re willing to go to keep what they have—and who they are—intact. With desire comes danger, and this time, the heat might just consume them.
