Bailey is as normal as could be, with a genius IQ and a photographic memory. But still, normal for her. Then, things happen—a guy breaks into her house in the middle of the night to take her hostage. She finds out her father is actually billionaire tech genius Peter Francis, the same guy she’s idolized all her life. She learns all this when she meets dark, mysterious, and electrifying Kashton Colello. He’s an associate of her father’s, and he gives Bailey two choices—go with him and meet her father or survive on her own because those kidnappers are going to try again. It’s a no-brainer.
After this, three things become clear for Bailey:
1. She’s living at her father’s sprawling estate, complete with bodyguards and the best security that money can buy.
2. She’s no longer an only child. She has three siblings and has no idea what to do with them and vice versa.
3. She is being guarded by Kash himself. Personally guarded. And there is a lot of guarding going on there and some of it is going to drive her crazy.
A complete outsider in a world of wealth and decadence, Bailey has to find her way within a family that has more secrets than she could have imagined. One of these secrets could be deadly…
“He was looking at me like I was his lifeline, and I was feeling the sting. He was reeling me in, one tug at a time.”
REVIEW ➞
From page one this story was intriguing and the further I got in it the more invested I became in the mystery of the story.
Bailey is a genius with a photographic memory. Her life is threatened when a group of people attempt to kidnap her. Now she has to make a decision about what she wants to do next. I like Bailey as a character. She is a genius, she is a talented hacker. Her life has just completely changed, but she is still full of attitude. Kash works with Bailey’s father and he is also the one that guards her. Kash is a mysterious individual and there are some details provided about him and his past that come up and with those details it is easy to start to understand the man, however, I feel like there is still plenty of secrets about him.
Bailey and Kash have chemistry from the moment they meet. I wasn’t sure how a romance would play into this story when it first start, but seeing the two of them together and the connection they have formed it works. The two of them work really well together and understand each other, well Bailey understands Kash as much as he will let her for now.
I love the dynamics in this story and the relationship between Bailey and her siblings, her father, her mother, and Kash. I am curious to see how these relationships will change as the story progresses and the more secrets that are revealed.
