Blurb: Living in a world where men were treated like a rare commodity, Ethan Spears did what he could in order to survive. But when the proverbial rug was pulled out from under him, desperate measures called for desperate actions. To save his sister, he entered The Lottery, offering himself to one woman for a year.


Karlyn Bowman was a rebel in her family, choosing not to climb the corporate ladder in order to pursue her love of art. Lonely, ostracized by the family who should have loved her, she pushed forward trying to become a success. When her friend gives her a lottery ticket to cheer her up, she puts it aside and forgets it. Imagine her surprise when the knock came to her door and her life—and his—were changed forever.

Be Warned: anal sex, masturbation, orgies, bondage

Review: This is a good imagining of what the world would be like if the women outnumbered the men by 30 to 1. Men are basically reduced to slaves, as it’s no longer a male dominated society. Women are the breadwinner’s; men take the women’s name, should they marry. Ethan tries to do what he can to save his sister Bailey, who has brain cancer. Forced into sexual slavery, just to pay off their father’s debts, Ethan ends up being blacklisted by his last and cruelest mistress, Ophelia, when he walks out after his 2 year contract is up. The only option left for him is the Lottery, where women pay 10 million dollars a ticket to ‘win’ him for a year. He’s so jaded, that he misjudges Karlyn at every turn. Karlyn’s best friend Samantha bought her ticket as a birthday present. Karlyn wasn’t expecting to win, so she was flabbergasted when she did win. Do they find a happy ending, or does someone have something in store for them? Trust me, you’ll want to read this for yourself, and find out.
