Those dark eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss, sending chills down his spine. This was the kind of man who could orchestrate your downfall and still have you thanking him for it.

Ashley wasn't a fool. He knew that his life was no longe his own to dictate.

Ashley knew better than to hope for an alliance with the Gardners after his actions. Sadie was nothing more than a discarded pawn now.
