Summary
Emily Richmond has a perfect life. An attractive, wealthy husband, a healthy, intelligent teenage son, a nice house in the suburbs, and a quiet, predictable routine. Sure, it’s lonely when her husband has to leave town for business, but Emily is grateful for the stability and financial security Michael’s job provides.
Then she is kidnapped and taken to a remote country estate by a mysterious man who claims that Michael isn’t as perfect as Emily believes him to be. Reticent, uncompromising and even cruel at times, Alois Maxwell is no saint either. Trapped in complete isolation and submission, Emily’s only comfort comes in the assurance her handsome captor gives her—that, unlike her husband, he will not lie to her.
Multiple shocking revelations bring Emily to her knees. As her perfect life shatters around her, she finds herself with only one person to turn to for support: her controlling, bitter captor. Even while Emily searches for answers and solace in his cold amber eyes, she wonders why they seem familiar.
Emily's husband has secrets. Alois holds the keys that unlock them. However, the key to Emily’s freedom is the one he doesn't want to give her.
