But what Ashton doesn't expect is the growing feelings he is developing as he gets to know the real, Ava Sparks. But when the time comes, will he go along with the plan and take away her life, or will he risk everything and protect her?

Once I was a god. Worshiped. Revered. The huddled masses cast themselves at my feet, heads bowed and eyes wide. Save us, they begged. Spare us, they pleaded. And, fool that I was, I tried.

My words are not for you.
