Their romance was a modern-day fairy tale: handsome older
millionaire falls hard for struggling young waitress.
Robert swept Elsie off her feet—and into his bed—put a
huge diamond on her finger and spirited her away in his
private jet destined for happily-ever-after.
Eight years later, Elsie Kolstadt realizes the clock has
finally struck midnight. The five-star restaurants,
exclusive address and exotic vacations can no longer make
up for Robert's obsessive desire to control everything
about their life together. From her hairstyle to her music
playlists, Robert has things just the way he wants them.
No matter what.
But it's Robert's ultimate, unforgivable manipulation that
finally shocks Elsie into action. Though divorce would
strip her of everything, she can't live under Robert's
roof any longer. Making her decision easier is Dion
Carter, a high-school football coach with a heart of gold
and a body of sculpted steel. Suddenly Elsie is deep in a
steamy affair that could cost her everything—because
Robert will stop at nothing to keep Elsie under his thumb.
