Cassandra Stone fell in love with a billionaire at age 18, but her Cinderella story took a dark turn when her knight in shining armor turned out to be an abusive monster. It took her years to build up the courage to take the life of her abuser, but when she finally freed herself from his clutches she opened herself up to a whole new life - an empire that was hers and no man could ever take that away from her.

Skye was confused about love, years ago she was sure she knew what it meant but now, she didn't even know if she felt it anymore. People scarcely believed her when she mentioned knowing Brendon Urie, gorgeous, talented and increasingly successful musician, the man she grew up with, the man who structured so many cherished memories.
