Ella, a desperate, newly single goth girl with a mountain of debt, would do anything to see her parents this Christmas… the problem is, her parents live on the other side of the world.

So, when she's granted access to The Naughty List - a marketplace for dirty proposals from rich strangers - she opts to take everything and anything she can get.

She thinks she's a good player, getting five-star reviews like a good girl and climbing the ranks - until she stumbles onto The Naughty List's most daring group of all…

The Hardcorers.

Players who will fulfil any proposal clients ask them to, just so long as the price is right.

As it turns out, maybe it's not just money that Ella's truly desperate for this Christmas…
