Brooklyn Lyles was a simple college girl pursuing her bachelors degree in biology. She didn't ask for much out of life, and quite frankly she didn't expect much either. Her expectations set low after witnessing the countless nights of abuse her mother suffered by the hands of her father. That's what taught her that love, the love that swept you off your feet and made butterflies swarm in your chest- that love wasn't real. Enter Aiden Reyes, a tall, exceptionally handsome, somewhat of a jerk, mysterious stranger. He entered a life no boy should ever be forced into. At age thirteen, Aiden Reyes had already completed his first kill. And what's worse? He liked it. Back to the present, Mr. Reyes is now twenty-five, highly successful, owning several flashy cars such as his favorite, his silver Porsche, and a suite in an expensive building. His life is set. That's until fate decides to rear its ugly head. Bumping into Brooklyn was a mistake. One hell of a mistake. He was drawn to her, something he had never experienced before. She changed everything. Mr. Reyes knew he had to act fast, or the walls he had surrounded himself with throughout his childhood would be broken faster than he could put them back up. In order to do that, he would have to scare her away. No, scratch that. He would have to utterly and completely break Brooklyn Lyles. What he didn't realize was that someone else would do it for him.
