This is truly a dark book. Please check your trigger warnings before reading. Needless to say I really liked this book in spite of some of the sick, twisted events in this book. Now Brooke has amnesia and she has no money and is in desperate need to get money so that she investigate her life and find out who she is. So an auction is set up at her friend’s sex club because the club is in desperate need of money. So they decide to auction a virgin although Brooke doesn’t know if she is a true virgin. While on stage waiting for the bidding she is drawn to a very attractive man, who is beyond shocked to see her there, since they knew each other years ago. So Domhall bids an outrageous amount to win her. Domhall takes her and brings her to his home where he precedes to chain and lock her up. He intends to make Brooke pay for her transgressions. These two damaged people have suffered so many traumas that it is amazing that they survived. I love how the mysteries of this book are revealed slowly. Just giving us a bit and making her speculate until revealing more. Great story but very dark.
