Sarah Walker goes from having it all to having nothing. Except this bout of nothing comes with a controlling, manipulative boyfriend. Ryan finds her crying at the bar over her break-up with Christian Holloway and takes it upon himself to comfort her. He puts on a sweet façade and tricks her for six months before showing his true colors. Now, a year and a half later, she continues to plot her escape from his abusive hands, but knows it's going to take longer than she wants. He watches her money, her every move, controls what she says, and uses her whenever he wants. The week of his best friend's wedding, she runs into Christian at the rehearsal dinner, who happens to be the best man. He takes notice of her bruised wrists and now dull personality and knows something isn't right. A lot can happen in three years apart and Sarah quickly learns she knows nothing about this new Christian, but she's jumping out of her skin to learn him again. He's still a lawyer, but owns his own firm, and is way more confident and possessive than before. But not possessive like Ryan, no, this possessive is much sexier. Sarah gets to explore new parts of herself while she submits to Christian in ways she never would have imagined. What will this new Christian do to keep Ryan away from Sarah? Can he protect her from the outwardly crazy man Ryan has presented himself as?
