    Summary

    She eyes the illuminated green exit sign down the hall, but then adjusts her dress and meets his gaze. He has freckles, she notices, and his dark, brown eyes penetrate a deep stare into her own. Large, calloused fingers grip his glass and swirl the liquor inside. He makes her uneasy, but she takes a sip from her flute anyway, attempting to look indifferent. In her peripheral she can see the two goons who brought her upstairs blocking the booth, and now there’s a third walking towards the exit door. Shit.

    Nerves swell in her stomach. Clarke doesn’t want trouble, but she’s probably found it.

    Or, drug dealer Clarke meets crime boss Bellamy.

    Summary

    Miss Katniss Everdeen and her younger sister Primrose are the adopted daughters of Mr. Haymitch Abernathy; a wealthy countryman with no biological heirs. By the rules of Panem society, an older sibling must be married before the younger can wed. In a time when women have no means of making their own living, an advantageous marriage is the only way for Katniss to save herself and her sister from destitution. She sets her sights on Mr. Hawthorne, a wealthy man who recently moved to the township of Whitley and who seems to have his eye on her, but what is she to do about the poor baker’s boy who once suffered a beating to save her life?

    Summary

    “Why are you interested in one of these arrangements?” he asks. Clarke blinks at him. This is the first question that actually feels like an interview question, but it’s one she’s never heard before. None of the others asked her. They probably didn’t care. Does Bellamy care? Or is this a test to make sure she’s serious?

    To be honest, she hasn’t thought about the why. The money is the obvious answer, but there are dozens of other ways to make money. There’s a different pull for Clarke, one that makes her blush when she puts her finger on what it is. Despite all her cynicism while reading articles about being a sugar baby, one common argument tugs at something buried deep inside her.

    She wants someone to take care of her for once.
