"A house hidden in the middle of nowhere. A man who's lived alone for a decade. A woman who trespasses on his solitude. A love full of hate as well as hunger. The thing about my life is ... I was never in control of it. I just I thought I was. I thought I had everything figured out--a good career, fun hobbies, a bright future, but everything changed when I found an ivy-cloaked house, tucked in a forgotten valley, hiding a man who corrupted my world forever. I thought I was successful, until he showed me fortune and happiness could be snatched away in an instant. I believed I was blessed, but really, I was cursed. Cursed to become a plaything for a monster. Cursed to become a prisoner just because I trespassed. Now, I know nothing. I am nothing. I'm just his."--Back cover
