Growing up a rich girl in a rich town should be easy.
Some think that money can buy happiness,
but when you’re the daughter of an influential businessman

Skye ran away from a life of wealth to living on the street. But she also ran away from an abusive home, both mentally and physically. Her parents used her, and treated her like dirt. Her father gave her to his friends to use as they wish, he beat her to keep her quiet, all the while her mom just watched. Preston was the only one Skye could really trust. But she never told him about the abuse. When he leaves, she had no choice but to go.
Five years later, she has no choice but to face her skeletons. BUt this time she is going to have Preston help her. After another beating by her father, Preston saves her and brings her home. It takes time for Skye to trust Preston, but she eventually tells him everything. Their relationship also grows, and so does the information they learn about each other.
Preston brings Skye into his Dom/Sub lifestyle. He brings out her naturally tendency to being a submissive at home, and at the club.
As much as I liked this book, I felt like I was left with too many questions. She has trust issues, but trusts him? He left her, but we don’t know why? Preston goes from rags to riches, but how? And how does no one see the physical abuse? I know book two will answer many of these questions, but I felt like Skye should have demanded more answers.
I love a good cliffhanger, and this one delivers.
