Description

What have you got to lose? Forced to flee her home town to escape an unwanted admirer, Samantha Drake isn’t sure what the future holds. Two months later and she finds herself living in the city, broke, worried and struggling to get by. When she sees a job opening at a local firm she goes for it, knowing that she has nothing to lose. She didn’t expect to feel anything but gratitude for her new boss. Her boss did not expect to feel anything for her... Mitch James knew it was a mistake to take Samantha on, knew that he was going to have trouble keeping his hands off her, but he senses how lost she is, how lonely...and how innocent. Before long he finds himself feeling more for her than he could ever have imagined, only Mitch lives in a dark world, a world full of secrets and twisted desires. How can Samantha ever become part of that world? More importantly, with her painful past, will she even want to?
