Y/N works as a stripper and pole dancer at one of the city’s most expensive clubs, spending her nights surrounded by flashing lights, fake smiles, and men who only see her as entertainment. Exhausted by her job and tired of being treated like an object, she’s completely given up on the idea of love. Then she meets Hugh James. Hugh is charming, reckless, and impossible to ignore. Covered in tattoos with a cigarette always between his fingers, he seems like trouble from the start—but unlike everyone else, he treats Y/N like a real person. Even with his possessive tendencies and hidden anger issues, Hugh slowly becomes someone Y/N can’t push away. As the two grow closer, Y/N begins wondering if Hugh could truly be different… or if trusting him will only leave her heart broken again.
