Description:
Infinite possibilities… Infinite passion… Infinite danger… His touch spirals through me, warm and sweet, wicked and hot. I shouldn't trust him. I shouldn't tell him my secrets. But how do I not when he is the reason I breathe? He is what I need. At the young age of eighteen, tragedy and a dark secret force Lara to flee all she has known and loves to start a new life. Now years later, with a new identity as Amy, she’s finally dared to believe she is forgotten–even if she cannot forget. But just when she lets down her guard, the ghosts of her past are quick to punish her, forcing her back on the run. On a plane, struggling to face the devastation of losing everything again and starting over, Amy meets Liam Stone, a darkly entrancing recluse billionaire, who is also a brilliant, and famous, prodigy architect. A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is Amy. Refusing to take “no” as an answer, he sweeps her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything from her, accepting nothing less. But what if she is too devastated by tragedy to know when he wants more than she should give? And what if there is more to Liam than meets the eyes? 


Review
I received this Kindle book in exchange for an honest review. The protagonist, Amy, is on the run from some unknown person that was apparently responsible for the death of her family. She has an anonymous "Handler" that warns her when she's in danger and sets her up with a new identity. She's about to start her new life in Denver when she meets Liam on her flight from New York. Liam is a prodigy billionaire architect that takes what he wants when he wants. He knows Amy is in trouble and is willing to do anything to keep her safe, whether she wants it or not. Let me just start off by saying that at the beginning, I strongly disliked the book. Amy sees a tall, dark and handsome guy staring at her while waiting to board a plane and just has luck would have it they are seated next to each other. They get talking and when they land Liam offers to help her with her luggage. Paranoid from her past Amy runs, get's in a cab and tries to flea. When she thinks she is safe the cab stops and Liam is there telling her to get in his car and she does.Then when they get to Amy's apartment one thing leads to another and they have sex. Now, I find that extremely un-realistic. If you see a guy you don't know staring at you and not even try to hide it and then makes you get in his car you just wouldn't do it. Or is this where I have been going wrong in my life? But as the story progressed it slowly drew me in. Questioning peoples motives and trying to figure everyone out and that ending was amazing! Amazing cliff-hanger, I didn't even realise it was the end until after a few attempts at flicking my Kindle to turn the page. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! I will definitely be checking out the second book.
