For nearly eight years, Francesca has worked hard to build her companies into something strong, creative and successful. Upon the advice of her heart, Francesca plans a vacation to Paris, France; where she really needs to unwind. Once her vacation starts, she accidently runs into (literally) a hot, charming and sweet Frenchman in the hall of the same hotel she is at. His charming, and handsome name is Pierre. Love at first sight feelings fills the corridor of the hotel in that brief interlude. What Francesca couldn't see was the dark horizon that lay before her feet in her future, as awe love struck blindness shielded her from her logical perception. After her move to Paris, and once Pierre finally and completely had her; he quickly turned evil and insane with delusions of grandeur and paranoia. With the aide of his bodyguards; Adrian and Luc, the three men control her and her every move. Paris, France was now her prison and she became its inmate. How can Francesca escape the clutches of the muscle and determination of Pierre and his muscled, chiseled meat heads? Will she get out of Paris and return to the safety of New York City? Or will Pierre indefinitely imprison her in Paris for the rest of her life. A once strong, formidable woman has now become weak, frail and fragile. What is on Francesca's horizon for the future?
