To the detriment of a meaningful social life, Maysea Heston, a young, highly trained ER nurse, devotes long hours to caring for others. Sea's off hours are mostly filled with mindless distractions—movies, cigarettes, beer, and naps—salves that reset her energy for the next round of tending, even if she neglects herself. After a severe bout of flu, she reluctantly agrees to rest at her supervisor's remote oceanside timeshare. 

But she never makes her flight. She's taken.

Waking in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man seated across from her, Sea quickly realizes she's a captive. Her life now depends on the mindset of this stranger who insists on calling her Baby. While he dotes on her and shows her compassion, there are no answers to be found. Who is he? What does he want? Why her?

As she plans her escape, her constricted world expands into one of survival, instinct, and psychological strategy. Little does she know how this obsessive, delusional, insanely handsome man will come to nourish the living, breathing, and vibrant parts of her she never knew existed.
