Billionaire Braden Black has a strict limit in the bedroom. He doesn't talk about it, nor does he get involved. But when his lover, Skye Manning, begs him, he has to face facts: while he can buy her anything, he's unable to give her what he asks for. Although he is hopelessly in love with her, he is beginning to think that her relationship cannot continue. Skye Manning has been tempted and taken captive by her own needs. When Braden asks why she wants something so dark, and she realizes that she can't answer, Skye knows that she will have to find the answers for herself. She's willing, but she wants something in return: Braden's complete honesty about his past. Because Skye is convinced that her own needs, the limits he sets... everything is tied to this one secret.
