Everyone has secret desires. Everyone has a weakness, a price at which they can be bought.
Twenty-eight year-old IT specialist Trenton Frost can’t speak or act on his secret desires, not even with Meredith Alexander, the woman he loves.
For sheltered and shy Meri Alexander, the very idea of revealing her desires or getting Trent to act on his is so embarrassing that she almost can’t think about them.
That’s not the case for Trent’s boss, forty-two year-old Audrey Mendes. She knows who she is. She knows what she desires. She’s not afraid to act on her desires.
When Audrey learns about the problems in Trent and Meri’s relationship she decides to find out for herself if Trent has a price, if he can be bought, and if accepting the price will allow him to unleash the passion he keeps hidden inside.
