The last person I need in my life is Mason Payne.
He's the boy who broke me in high school with his cruel words, public humiliation, and a stolen first time I couldn't forget.

I've built a life he knows nothing about. One where I call the shots and men pay for my time.
When Mason discovers what I've become, he makes me an offer I should refuse: a quarter million dollars to join him on tour.
