"I'm going to ruin your family just like you've ruined everything I have." 

That summer, Anne Brown died along with her mother. That part of her was broken, adrift, and lost in the agonizing guilt that she couldn't save her from the grip of Bonnie Schnider, the woman who ruined her life. After her death, Anne was taken in by her wealthy grandparents in Yorkshire until she was twenty-three years old; Anne eventually moved to Richmond toward her dream of revenge. There, she met Liam Howle, a thirty-four-year-old surgeon, the Schnider pride, and the lover of the family's only daughter, Cindy Schnider. 

To get closer to them, Anne got a job at The Country Club in Westhampton, a private property where all the rich among the wealthy live their remaining luxurious lives, sharing the gossip of the elites. Anne was drawn inexorably into a narrowing, dangerous circle of the gentry.

It's changes in our lives that bring something new, It's in those dark hard times that we grow, It's in the unexpected that we find true treasures hidden. But our fears always hold us back because we are not always open to face either of those facts in our lives. She is forced to face all three of them due to circumstances. She is thinking her life is over. However is it over? This is Samantha Addams, daughter of a former American diplomat now ambassador of an American embassy in a foreign country. What is she meeting within facing the most feared facts of life? "stop resisting Samantha. You want this I can tell," Raising my head. I look up to stare into those capturing ocean-like eyes that are trying to offer what I think I want but at the same time, I don't think I do. "I don't know Kai," I say in my small voice trying hard to not stutter with my words. I feel one of his fingers under my chin raising my head to look up at him and I find myself drowning in his ocean-like eyes "You do know sweetheart." He says looking straight into my eyes while grinning down at me. I find myself again not being able to pull away from staring at his lips and when he catches where my attention is, he smirks. I turn my gaze away quickly when I am caught staring but that makes him chuckle. I turn my head to the side but I feel the tips of his lips lingering beside my cheek, all the way to my ear. His hot breath on my skin brings goosebumps on my skin while the hairs on my skin stand. "I know you hate this place princess and I also know that you don't want to make good memories here but try me sweetheart, and I will make you feel like you are back home in America."

Should he go back without the girl, he'd surely be punished. With them was where she was meant to be. The girl wandered farther away from the crowd, dancing and spinning to music that only she could hear. The family was completely unaware, still preparing food on their picnic table. The girl's mother carefully placed six candles into the brightly frosted cake. They were distracted and he knew that it was time. She kneeled beside a tree picking clovers from the ground, out of sight of everyone. No one even even glanced in their direction. In only a second he was beside her. She didn't know what was happening until it was too late. He knew it was what he had to do. So he took her. ~ ~ ~ After twelve years of training in one of the most elite assassination groups in the world, Bella Price is returned to the life she was forced to forget.
