About this ebook

Twenty-five years ago he disappeared for three months. After his mysterious escape, he never spoke of it again.
She’s a journalist who puts the pieces of the past together...
Sophie Ryder is an investigative journalist driven to find secrets long hidden. Losing her best friend years ago, she dedicates her life to hunting down the truth. Long intrigued with the childhood disappearance of billionaire Emery Lockwood, Sophie discovers a terrifyingly attractive billionaire who knows more than he is telling.
He’s a reclusive billionaire with a dark past...
The moment Emery meets shy but brave Sophie at the private club, he knows he wants her - in his bed, under his control. The wounded look in her eyes calls to him and he realizes there’s more to this woman than a reporter digging for a story. Compelled to trust her, Emery offers Sophie a bargain: surrender to him in bed and he will give her the answers she seeks.
Dangers lurking in the shadows threaten to take another person he loves. Can he save them both or lose the strongest-willed woman has ever known?

Wow, blown away with this one. Since I'm more into sweet romance, I was nervous about reading romance with dark elements. The synopsis was so intriguing that I took a chance and accepted their invitation to visit their world. These characters instantly drew me in and their story is heartfelt, intense and suspenseful. Sophie is a brave-heart, feisty and very determined. Emery is broken-hearted and the only common ground they have is the hurt they are harboring. Never a dull moment....

WoW! The story is so engaging, you can't help but get wrapped up in it! The characters are amazing, and layers are peeled away bit by bit as the story unfolds. There is still a mystery to be solved, but it's kind of obvious if you're paying attention. I can't wait to delve into the second book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
