Live the dream, but beware the cost.
Years of living on the edge of society has left Isabelle tired and worn out. The parties, the excitement, and the constant trouble no longer appeal; but go deep enough into the darkness and it can be easy to get lost.
Jaime wants to rebel; against his family, his obligations, and the expectations he's sure he can't live up to. Throwing caution to the wind, he embarks on a path wrought with the darker aspects of life that are as dangerous as they are enticing.
A chance meeting, a shared curiosity, and two lives are inextricably linked.
Can they help each other, or will they fall so far there can be no return?

Kidnapped...to be his
"P-please i-if you let me go I won't tell anyone." She pleaded. He looked at her and laughed. "Like I'm supposed to believe you?" He said. He just looked at her as she cried. "You hungry?" He asked. She couldn't even answer so her stomach answered for her. "I take that as a yes. I'll be back, don't go no where." He smiled and left the room. She tried toying with the ropes but it was no use. She was stuck. So she waited and cried. She thought about her life and freedom. But that was cut short when he walked back in the room. "Miss me?" He asked. Her body shook in fear as he got closer.
