She escaped captivity, but her mind is still a prison.

Charli:

When I broke free from my captors, confused and alone-with no memories of my past-the last thing I wanted was to be forced to live with a stranger. He's awkward. I don't trust his kindness. He makes me feel uneasy. There's no way in hell I'm letting yet another man violate me.

Nikolai:

An understandably angry, guarded little survivor has invaded my home. It was love at first scowl for me. Even if she never reciprocates, I'll spend my life taking care of her every need-unless she tells me otherwise. Sometimes the recipe for healing calls for a little...spice.

As her memories return, dormant emotions reawaken. Will his devotion and support be enough to save her?
