Years ago, Chad had an arrangement of sorts with an extremely powerful man. This man paid for his college while Chad kept him satisfied in secret, protecting his career and reputation. It was a win for everyone. Until the man married Chad's mother, that is. Then Chad's life became a nightmare no one can understand. Now Chad lives for revenge. Nothing warms his twisted heart any longer except the thought of being the constant embarrassment for the senator, who pretends to be the perfect family man. Chad won't stop until he completely escapes. Except, now there's this other guy...

Journey needs whatever dirt Chad has on his stepfather. His organization wants a senator in their corner they can control. It's the worst luck imaginable that Chad makes Journey feel something for someone else for the first time in years. All he can do is hope Chad can forgive his betrayal and that he can free them both when it turns out Chad is the only currency the senator cares about. In his organization, not only does the family come first, but there's also no getting out.
