I thought that having my job ripped from my hands without so much as an hour's notice was the low point of my day. It wasn't. That came later, when my best friend dropped a bomb neither of us were prepared to handle. With zero chance of finding work that could support our lifestyle, we packed our tidy little lives into boxes and ventured hours away to the house my beautiful, late grandmother left in my care. Although Teller, Kentucky was home to me in more ways than one, it wasn't known for its abundant employment opportunities. Which is how I came to meet Luke. He was the closest thing to a socialite I'd ever met, and under his thumb, my entire world morphed into something I'd never dreamed, never anticipated... and never, ever wanted. Unfortunately, you can't step away from a world of prostitution rings and drug dealings without painting a giant target on your back. And no matter how fast or far you run, no one is out of reach for Luke Montgomery.
