Carson always gets what he wants. His days of living on the streets, begging for food and money, are over. He rose up to become ... the Boss. The king. This city is his and no one takes anything from him. 

The moment he meets sweet Willow Kaye, Carson knows he has to have her. He wants to possess her and will do everything in his power to do exactly that. There is only one problem, her grandmother. She knows who he is and what he is capable of. 

When Lauren comes to him and asks for him to take care of her granddaughter, he knows something isn't right. Lauren is dying and she wants someone to be there for Willow. 

Willow knows exactly who Carson is. She sees the fear in people's eyes, and the way they all move to avoid him. After losing her grandmother, she is not ready for him. 

Carson gave her time, now she belongs to him, and he's going to do everything he can to claim her. He wants her by his side, as his wife, and the mother of his children. Lauren asked him to do one thing, to make Willow have experiences and that is what he's going to do. He'll give Willow a good life, one she deserves. All she has to do is love him. 

But will he be able to protect her from his world? He has a reputation people love to bring down, so can he survive long enough to have it all?
