Ruby Jacobson wanted a new life, but it seemed fate gave her a twisted version of it. Gavin Darris has always desired the darker pleasures in life. Normally not one to purchase his playthings, he needed a woman who would bend to his will, and derive pleasure from it, too.

He saw Ruby, one of the many women for sale, and he wanted her as his. She had a fire in her eyes and a determination not to yield. She looked like a fighter and was exactly what he wanted.

Gavin was ruthless in what he wanted, and what he wanted was Ruby.

The dark desires Ruby had always felt are about to be tempted. She should hate Gavin and fear everything he represented, but she can't deny that her body ached for his touch. He told her she was his; that he owned every part of her, and everything inside of her knew that was the truth.

Faced with the ultimate decision, Ruby must choose to escape and gain her freedom, or stay with Gavin, the monster whose delicious punishment made her yearn for more.

Both are frightening.
