Isabella is just doing her best to survive, life is not easy for a young woman trying to make her way in modern society. She likes her independence but it comes with a price, everything is up to her. If she doesn't make enough money she won't have a place to live or food to eat. The constant struggle to make enough for the basics in life have made her a control freak, always on guard, always protective of her emotions. She could never just let go and enjoy the moment, consequences be damned. After all if she didn't take care of things who would? She had no idea that in her quest for control over every aspect of her life she was cutting herself off from actually living. When she unfairly loses her job because she rebuffs a pass coming from a senior executive who wants sex in return for job security everything spins out of her control. Is this her worst nightmare coming true or the best thing that ever happened to her? Is the dark sexy man who rescues her from a fate worse than death at the hands of the maniac she rebuffed more dangerous to her rigid, tightly controlled world than the terrifying event he rescues her from? Or is she ready to break free from the prison her whole life had become and trust him and her feelings enough to forge a new path? Isabella goes on a journey of self-discovery with a man who makes her reach a pinnacle of pleasure she never knew existed.
