Christian St. James Davenport is a prisoner. He has spent his entire life imprisoned within a gilded cage; trapped by his parents’ wealth, by his own secrets, and by the fear of his abusive ex-lover, Dwight.

Lucca Renaldo is the darkly exotic, older man who will show Christian what it truly means to be free, but not before Dwight returns to reclaim what he believes is his.

After a ruthless attack leaves his father bleeding in a dark, dirty alley, Christian is kidnapped and held prisoner. Horribly abused, brutally violated, and sadistically tortured, Christian is barely hanging on to reality and to his life. Both physically and psychologically scarred, he is on the brink of self-destruction, spiraling toward a point of no return.

Will Lucca find Christian in time to save him? If he does, will his love be enough to rescue his boy from the threshold of Hell, or will Christian forever be caged by a lethal obsession? Lucca may need to take more extreme measures to prove to Christian who his true Master is.
