Erica Hathaway just graduated college and has a start up fashion website with her best friend Alli and another friend Sid. Her professor got her a board meeting with a friend of his, Max at Angelcom to try to get an investment so Erica could get the website off the ground.
What she didn't expect however, was to meet the mysterious and handsome Blake Landon. For Blake one night of passion led to him being captivated by Erica and he just had to see more of her.
In the boardroom he turned down her pitch which devastated her but Max picked her up. It was a decent day all together.
Neither of them expected things to get hot and heavy between them so fast. Erica had no choice but to tell Blake about her past. As a freshman in College, her and a few friends went to a frat party, it was there she was raped and just left in the bushes.
When she told him, the tears and the upset were there but so was the self-loathing. Erica actually couldn't believe that Blake still wanted her.
Blake himself has many issues and one of his quirks is control. Blake has to be dominant in the bedroom and for Erica he's learning to let go of some of his control in public.
It's something that they both have to get used to, especially when Blake says that he loves her. When he loves, he must protect and to go about that without controlling or stalking isn't something he knows how to do yet.
It's interesting to watch these two damaged people get to know and fall in love with each other. It's true that Blake used to be a hacker, part of a group called M89. He's made some enemies and Erica is messed up.
However, Erica is big on control for other reasons. She wants to control her own life mainly because she's fought to get that control back. Now Blake wants to take that away from her again in a different way. For Erica, this is still one of the most scariest things she's ever contemplated on doing.
They have to learn to trust each other or what they have will go down in flames.
