Vivian Edmonds is a high-powered designer in a fast-paced North Carolina city. She loves her job, but her boss Derrell is a creep and leers at her all the time. Ugh… She doesn't know just how creepy he really is, and he will play an integral role in her life, a very dangerous one.
Vivian's life was not always perfect and her past keeps her from trusting people. Her relationships with the opposite sex are pitiful, and the men who have come in and out of her life have left her with a distrust of men. Her father, a man Vivian always tried to please, her husband, a man who thought domestic violence was a “thing,” and others that followed left a terrible taste in her mouth and a dark stain on her memory. Vivian wonders if she will ever meet “Mr. Right.” That is until she meets Jack.
Jack is a tall, cool drink of water who sparks a fire in Vivian's veins. He is a mystery, and Vivian is intrigued. There is something that keeps her wanting to know more about him. Secrets will come to light, and what she discovers about Jack is shocking and unexpected.
Vivian's reflections of the past are marred with drugs, sex, and tragedy, a reminder of the life she led and her struggles to live the life she always hoped for. With inner strength and fortitude, she persevered, yet for some reason, deep inside, she is afraid, and with good reason.
She meets a new client and is drawn into a world filled with danger and intrigue. A dangerous world where the normal seems like a dream and the dream becomes a nightmare. It will take everything she has to survive. She doesn't know who to trust and who to turn to. Friends become enemies, her past comes back to haunt her, and she only hopes that she will be saved in time to finally get what she ordered.
