Vance Handler can have anything he wants in this world. And tonight he wants me. When I found myself stood up on my birthday by an overworked boyfriend, caught in a downpour and disillusioned with romance, it's turning out to be one of the worst days of my life. Little did I realize that the events of the evening would set me on a path to indescribable passion, eroticism, and mind-blowing sex that I never imagined were possible. This is the night I met Vance Handler, a sexy and brilliant man with an eye for me and a talent for awakening within me new pleasures, new dimensions, and new possibilities. But Vance has a dark side and a broken past, and his rise to wealth and power came with a sweet taste for vengeance. As I discover the mysteries that make Vance who he is, suddenly our worlds collide in unexpected ways, leaving us both to face the biggest bet of our lives.
