Together they were combustible, but every fire can burn out of control. Holly's life wasn't really working out the way she expected. She'd graduated high school and gone off to college only to be forced home. She worked a depressing job in the local diner, giving her paychecks to her mother, and dreaming of the day she could return to school. Ash entered the diner she worked at one cold, rainy night and the spark between them flared immediately. He made her an offer she couldn't refuse. She was offered a contract providing her with a substantial amount of money -her family desperately needed-if she agreed to his terms for one week. Seemed simple enough. Little did she know what he actually bought and how much she would relinquish.
