Penniless and hiding from creditors on a mining colony called the Hole, Charlie has no choice but to make a bargain with Lynx, a golden eyed Xorn.  For his protection, she will be his to desire and to punish.  Charlie wants to despise the beautiful Lynx but she can’t.  Before too long her hate becomes love and her fear becomes desire.

Evangeline Anderson is able to mix just the right amount of darkness with her romance novels that makes the reader crave more.  Charlie’s Bargain was such a novel.  Charlie had to make a deal with the devil, or rather, with Lynx, and while she didn’t want to, she had no choice.  What she didn’t know or understand was just how much Lynx really wanted her and what lengths he was willing to go to have her.  Charlie’s Bargain was a novel of discovery and I loved every word.
