Sheltered by an overprotective family, Amy Sager-a shy twenty something poet from Canada-just wanted to break out of her shell and be free to live her own life. What better way to assert her new found independence than by moving to San Francisco? However, when she meets a tall, blood-drenched stranger she gets more than she bargained for. Jackie is everything she should never want. Violence, lies, and even murder taint this strange man, but she finds herself irresistibly drawn to him...like a moth to flame. When their relationship strains her loyalty and his livelihood, it isn't long before violence consumes her independence and Amy's quest for freedom turns into just another story of a good girl caught on the wrong side of the tracks, too far gone to turn back.
