What's a person to do when they discover everything they've believed is nothing but lies? I grew up wealthy, a spoiled rich kid some would say, blessed with a natural athletic physique and erotic good looks that could get me into the panties of just about any girl I set my mind to. I wanted... what I wanted. And that meant one thing: the beautiful brunette from study hall - but she left me high and dry. Today, I have a heart made of stone. I'm angry, a professed lifelong bachelor and a sexual sadist. My soul is a cold river. Eight years later, she's back in my life and holding secrets that are ruthless, unforgiveable. I want to punish her, make her cry, make her suffer. I want to hate her for what she's done. But I want my hands on her. Mine. All mine. I simply want... Ava Montgomery.
