My life has never been my own. After the death of my parents, I was saved by my grandfather, with the promise that he would turn me over to the Brotherhood on my twenty-first birthday. I was kept away from the outside world so I could one day be sold to the highest bidder--pure and unsullied. Penance for my parents' alleged crimes. That's how I come to be sold at an auction. And who buys me but the reclusive billionaire, Lincoln Knight? Some say that he's a monster, more dangerous than any of the evil men from the Brotherhood. That he wears a mask to cover his scars. But I believe he's hiding more than just his face behind his mask. My fate is sealed when he takes me to his crumbling mansion deep in the woods. I'm trapped. Entirely at his mercy. I have to escape. But something here isn't what it seems. Lincoln isn't what he seems. Maybe he's not a monster at all. I'm drawn to him in a way that I can't explain. Until I discover that his secrets go far beyond his mask. He's everything I've been taught to fear, but what if everything I've ever known has been a lie?
