In this dark southern gothic
novel, a young woman meets a man who may be more than he seems.
After the death of her mother, 17- year-old Rave Weathersby
gives up her dream of becoming a fashion designer, barely
surviving life in the South Carolina lowlands. To make ends
meet, Raven works after school as a seamstress creating
stunning works of fashion that often rival the great names
of the day. Instead of making things easier on the high
school senior, her stepdad’s drinking leads to a run in with
the highly reclusive heir to the Maddox family fortune,
Gideon Maddox. But Raven’s stepdad is drying out and in no
condition to attend the meeting with Maddox. So Raven
volunteers to take his place and offers to repay the debt in
order to keep the only father she’s ever known out of jail.
Gideon Maddox agrees, outlining an outrageous demand: Raven
must live in his home for a year while she designs for
Maddox Industries’ clothing line, signing over her creative
rights. Her handsome young captor is arrogant and
infuriating to the nth degree, and Raven can’t imagine
working for him, let alone sharing the same space for more
than five minutes. But nothing is ever as it seems.
Is Gideon Maddox the monster the world believes him to be?
And can he stand to let the young seamstress see him as he
really is?
