Quote:My family's worst enemy wants my hand in marriage. But I've made up my mind to give my innocence to a man that I choose.

When I sneak out to a local bar to pick up a man for the night, my only thought is that I want the choice of who my first will be, before I'm married off to a man I hate. Niall Flanagan is a handsome stranger, alluring and a little dangerous, and everything I think that I want.

Except he doesn't know who I really am. And as it turns out, he's something more than what I think I know, too.

When one night of blissful pleasure turns into more, it's all I can do not to tell him the truth. And when my father breaks all his promises, I make a snap decision that will change everything. Niall showed me that the world can be so much more-but he's about to discover a terrible truth.

Even the sweetest of kisses can carry a brutal edge.
